March Guest Designer Inspiration!

Hi SUYS fans!

This month we have a SKETCH challenge, designed for us by Chloe Nielsen. 

Have you had a go at it yet?

And our wonderful sponsor is...

We are so lucky to have some awesome Guest Designers lining up to show you how they interpret our challenges, and to help get you excited! :)

This month we have Louise Turner, designing for us...

Louise says: I've used handmade embellishments from Burdy's Embellies.  I flipped the sketch totally by accident because I cut my paper in the wrong direction. It worked out for the best though. Love the reverse layout!

How cool does that look! Thanks for joining us Louise! :)

There is only a few more days to get your entries in for this months challenge! Don't forget to link your entry before midnight March 31!

March Mid Month Reveal!!

Have you had a go at our March challenge yet? 

We have this cool sketch, designed by dt member Chloe. We would love to see what you can do with it. Flip it, flop it, rotate it, do what you want, just make sure we can still see the bones of the sketch! 

In addition to the sketch, you are also required to include at least one handmade embellishment on your creation. (Our design team always provide plenty of inspiration about different handmade embellishments you can include - these can be homemade or purchased.)

You are welcome to create any project you wish for this challenge layout / card / art journal spread / canvas / pocket page spread - as long we can see how you used the sketch and included a handmade embellishment. Please note that entries must be created solely for our challenge - we do not permit combined challenge entries.

Our fabulous sponsor this month is none other than challenge designer Chloe's own business - Rainbow Splendour and there is a gorgeous package of RBS goodies up for grabs for our winner!

Hi everyone! It's officially the first day of autumn here in Australia, but judging by the current weather here in Queensland, I think that summer will still be here for a little while yet! ;)
