CROP!!!

Hey there.

So it's time to see if anyone's up for some challenges. Starting right now, you may enter one or several or even ALL the challenges by sending me the layout you made via email to Nexa79@hotmail.com

If you participate in ALL THE CHALLENGES, you will recieve a free collabkit from us as soon as it's finished, it's made by me, Leaonna and Tracy aka Lattedah Designs. It will be yours when we add it to the store, around April 20th. The kit has a spring theme and bright colors, and so farit's looking really pretty ;o)

The time limit is the same one for all the challenges. April 13th is the last day. April 14th I will check out the albums and if there are a lot of participaters in the Kit and Color Challenges, then I will set up the layouts for the Scrapoholic group members to vote. The voting will be going on for three days. April 17th is the last day. April 18th I will announce the winner who will win three free kits and/or actions or styles from any of the Scrapoholic Stores.

So.. Here are the different Challenges:

Sketch Challenge:
You need to look at the sketch I made and be inspired to make a layout from it. It is NOT a template, and you can save it by clicking the image and then right-click and save as... Open it, have a look and start having some fun!
You do NOT need to use any certain kits, items or colors in this challenge. Just simply be inspired by the layout and try to use the same shapes or similar ones, and that's it!
When you're finished, please send me a copy of the lo with name and email and credits for the designers of the kit(s) since I plan to publish some of the lo's after the challenges are closed.

Here's the sketch I want you to use:
