Hey there! Back again to share my very first post as a Once Upon A...Sketch designer!! So let's get to it...
Theme: Friend
We would like you to create a layout and interpret the theme "Friend" however
you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as little or as
much as you like, but your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch below. Please
make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and
please tell us where your journalling is . Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.
Ideas for journalling: one
of your current friends, a childhood friend, an unexpected
friendship,what having friends mean for you, a friend that you miss or
have lost, family member who is your closest friend, a scrappy/online
friend, a special person that has touched your life, someone who has helped you out lately, a friend that you couldn't do without, your children's friends / classmates etc., your pet and the friendship you have with it..
Here is my layout featuring one of my life-long best friends...
"The Promise"
I created this layout as a birthday gift for her and wrote some very special things to her on the hidden tag. She is such a beautiful person and I just wanted her to be reminded of that always...
So how about the prizes?? Once Upon A...Sketch has a bunch of sponsors and prizes up for grabs!! Here's just a peek for you...
We have 2 new featured sponsors this month.
The first one is a gorgeous etsy
shop by one of our newest Design Team member's Kay Fatula. Please
welcome to Once Upon A...Sketch Kay's Kreative Korner.
Arts & crafts has been my guilty pleasure since the first time I
picked up a crayon. With time, my love of crafts ventured into drawing,
altering items, painting, stamping & finally scrapbooking. Kay's
Kreative Korner was opened in 2009. It began simply as a way of sharing
a few of my handmade items. I opened my shop with a couple of
handstamped cards & a few pre made scrapbook pages. Within a year, I
stopped making cards and decided to sell embellishments--specifically
butterflies. I've always admired the butterfly & what it
symbolizes. Change, transformation, a new start, beginnings...with this
concept I started making scrapbook embellishments based on existing
butterflies from all around the world. Today I carry a couple of unique
scrapbook embellishments. In addition to the butterflies I specialize
in vines & beaded flowers. I make each item with much TLC and
careful precison. My greatest reward is seeing how others use my
embellishments on thier own projects & pages...
