Scrappy Friends May Blog Challenge


It's time again for a new sketch challenge and to announce April Winners!
As you all know, my scrap buddies and I get together monthly and give you all an individual challenge and a group bonus challenge for 5 chances to win with just 1 layout!  

My Recipe Challenge:
You must include lots of layers, use at least one stamp and include stars.
Here's my layout:


I used Pebbles 'Let Freedom Ring' Collection - the sketch from Brenda was perfect for adding lots of layers. I cut banners from the papers and layered those too - 'popping' them up for more dimension.


 The title comes directly from Rochelle's wordart. I used one of the rosette embellishments, altered the centre piece to read 4th July and made the ribbons to go underneath.


The collection of papers and embellishments were perfect for my theme with lots of stars and stripes.
My stamps were from MME Lost & Found 2 collection. 


I managed to complete THREE out of the four challenges (sorry Kristi!) :-)

RULES (to be entered into drawing):
  • You must be a FOLLOWER of my blog
  • Your traditional (no digital please) layout must be NEW as of May 1st 2013
  • When you upload your layout to your gallery or blog, you must post a link back to my blog.
  • You must add a link to your entry in the comments section below no later than May 30th 11:59 pm (PST)

One lucky winner will win this prize:

My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing 'Tangerine' 6x6 paper pad and stamps
