I Made It Through the Next Designer Competition Round 1

I entered the Next Designer Competition at DigitalScrapbookingStudio this month.  So far I made it through Round 1 voting. Whew!  It wasn’t easy.  Most of the competitors are already professional designers, selling their goods in store across digi-land.  Voting for Round 2 starts Friday at 11:59 am EST.  I’ve got my entry posted and hope to make it through Round 2 voting. Since Round 1 is complete I’ve got freebies for you.  In Round 1, we made 5 cardstock and 5 patterned papers.  We’re limited to the color palette that won the Pick the Palette contest. Let me tell you, it’s very difficult to be limited to 5 colors plus black & white to darken/lighten them. My design is about autumn leaves so I would have loved to be able to use yellow and green! To get the freebies click the download links below.

Freebie #1 – Cardstock

Freebie #2 – Patterned Papers

Round #2 Elements

For Round #2, we are still confined to using the very limited color palette plus black & white. I’ve posted my entry and I will post the link to vote on Friday afternoon.  Here’s a preview of the elements I created.  Once the voting is complete I’ll post the download link here. I need your vote to move on.
