~January Sketch Challenge~

So how about kick-starting your 2014 creativity by creating a page with our sketch, plus be in with a chance of winning a £20 voucher for the shop while you're at it?!

This month's sketch has been designed by Natalie. Will you see it as the opportunity for a multi-photo layout, or choose to interpret the squares in another way?:=

 Here's how some of the DT interpreted it to make some lovely pages:

Jen G stuck closely to the sketch to whip up the funky multi-photo page of her boys rocking out in an unusual location!

Tracie also stuck closely to the sketch for her soft-coloured page, choosing to scrap just one photo and filling the other two squares with frames and journalling.

Lou replaced the two squares behind the photo with patterned overlays, and the three strips with the feathers in this lovely girlie layout:

Natalie also used a round element in place of the top square, and dived into her scraps box to chose a number of different strips to lay together to represent the bottom square, bringing them together as a block using faux stitching:

We'd love for you to join in our challenge - don't forget to add your link here by the 31st of January to be in with a chance of winning the prize.

It's also time to announce our December Sketch Challenge winner....the prize goes to Nancy; the DT loved her layering and clustering!  Nancy please drop Lianne an email so she can arrange your prize (she and Sarah are currently at CHA and return on Monday 20th, so bare with them!).
