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
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.

The Mood Board Challenge at The Digichick has become one of my favorite challenges. There are innumerable possibilities and vast differences in the layouts everyone comes up with. For the July challenge, I chose the bird, flowers and the color green as my inspiration. Here is my entry for the challenge.

It’s unbelievable that it is July already and time for another Use It All Challenge at The Digichick. Snickerdoodle Designs has furnished the UIA mini kit again this month. It’s fabulous and free. I always feel like I’m rocking the new month when I have a challenge layout completed on the first day of the month. So, yay me, here is my layout for the challenge.

I LOVE challenges. The Digichick has many wonderful challenges every month and I try to do them all. The layout below is for the Template Challenge this month. I used Kimeric Kreations kit, Unforgettable, which was released this week so it’s on sale through Sunday. If you love this kit as much as I do you’ll want to grab it up while it’s on sale.
Kit: Unforgettable

Template: TDC June Template Challenge

I love this shadow box template, too. If you’d like to get this free template and play along with the challenge, you’ll find it here.
I made today’s layout for the Mood Board Challenge at The Digichick. If you haven’t tried this type of challenge, you should! This was my first attempt. It’s really cool because each participant gleans whatever stands out to them about the mood board. For me, I loved the vintage feel, the soft colors, the delicate teacups and baby chicks, and the beautiful flowers. That is the “feel” I was going for with this layout.
I love the colors and elements in this kit and the template seems delicate and perfect to me.

A Creative Spring, by Kimeric Kreations, is the perfect kit to scrap this layout about Cascarones, the confetti filled eggs seen at Easter. This kit is one of the many colorful kits found in The Hatchery right now at The Digichick.
I love the gorgeous colors so much, I used it for the March Template Challenge too!
