LPS December Sketch Challenge

We have a new December sketch challenge over at Life Paper Scrapbook

I loved the simplicity of this sketch.  It gave me so many options!

 Here is what I made using the fun sketch challenge:


You Glow Layout

I tried to stay close to the main layout of the sketch but used 1 photo instead of two.  In place of the tags I used these cute little tickets from Crate's Flea Market collection

supplies:

Crate Paper Flea Market Collection: papers, cut out borders & tags, decorative adhesive paper flowers, Ephemera die cut pieces, resin pins; American Crafts: gold thickers; Martha Stewart: doily punch

Play along with our challenge and you will have the chance to win $30 worth of Pinkfresh Studio goodies.

LPS Sketch September

Hi friends!
I hope you all are enjoying a nice start to your weekend.  Today is the day to share with you the September Sketch Challenge over at Life.Paper.Scrapbook.  I love that this sketch boasts lots of layers, totally fun!

Here is what I created..


Sun and Sand Layout

 I was inspired by all the fun layers in the sketch to cut strips of pattern paper and layer it behind a sequin vellum pocket.  I  used the Pier collection by Crate paper on this layout, it has been a favorite of mine lately.

This month's sponsor is Polly! Scrap Kits..

Polly Scrap Kits is a small Australian kit club that offers monthly kits for scrapbooking and project life. We offer fun and happy kits for a really great price. We have a blog filled with inspiration for using your kit each month and with a subscription you know you will get a monthly box goodies that will bring a smile to your face when you open it and some motivation to get creating.

This year we will be offering a December Daily kit and our Design team is going to show you how to make use of it, whether you want to use it for a daily mini album, incorporated into your regular project life, or to make 12x12 layouts for your traditional scrapbook album. We will have inspiration several times a week to scrap along with you and use the kit together from late November right through to early January, so you will be motivated and inspired to get started, keep going and to finish your December projects!

Polly scrap Kits will be giving one randomly selected participant in the LPS Sketch challenge a free Project Life kit. In addition, based on the submissions to this challenge, Polly! will be inviting one person to be a guest designer for an upcoming kit, we will send you the kit for free that month and feature your work using the kit on our blog and facebook page, so please show us your best work in your challenge submissions!

- The winner of the prize will be randomly drawn

- We will also feature three of the favourite layouts and the selected layouts will be asked to guest design for the next colour challenge. 

You have to be in it to win it, so link up your project up on the right over at LPS. Please make sure you link to the correct challenge, there is both a sketch and colour challenge to link up to. If you are linking to a blog, please link to the actual post the layout is featured in, not just the general address and make sure you link back to Life.Paper.Scrapbook.
