April Layout Contest

Julia is our host for the April Contest. Read on....you won't want to miss this one!


Happy April!!! I am so happy Spring is here and to celebrate..let's not only have a contest based on one sketch...but how about 28 sketches! WOW! This month's contest is based on the amazing sketches by Elsie Flannigan! She's not only a fantastic scrapper and designer but has a real flair for sketches! Almost too pretty to copy! Here is how this month's contest will works:Starting tomorrow, April 1st, Sugardumplin.com will be holding an sketch contest. This one however is a little bit different for a change. Instead of just one sketch to work off of..you have the choice of 28 sketches all designed by Elsie. You get to chose which of the 28 sketches appeal to you and get busy having fun making a layout that the sketch inspired! It can be exact or just a bit of it.




Here's a link to Elsie's blog for a larger view of the sketches!https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9hzT_TPiEmR1knSe5QvtRpwOwUfKOJ2Lhf8kZ-LeQ4J5b0w8sTFkW6TZDI0UTmM5xDNmojq-dlPfai9X96OVVO-YCwVHlIWBpXAtlO_JdUyW3rGh-v5csveK4lXMJH5vHwccXe8Rx3JQ/s1600-h/elsie_sketches.jpg The contest will run from April 1st through April 22nd. All entries must be posted by midnight EST on Sunday, April 22nd. Please post your layouts in the gallery section with the title of your layout having "April Elsie Sketch Contest - username (insert your username here). Also please be sure to put in the description which sketch number you based your layout on. And if you would like to post a link here in this thread to your layout in the gallery..that would be great as well!The design team will vote on their favorite layout and the winner will be announced on May 1st in the blog and also on this thread. This month's prize is perfectly suited to the style of these sketches and is a fun Fontwerks Star stamp set.

March Contest

Happy March!!!

Get ready for some inspiration! This month's layout contest is an Ad Challenge and being hosted by DT member, Paula!

Your challenge is to use the ad that is posted here as an inspiration to create a layout. You can be inspired by the colors or design - just use the ad as your "jumping off" point! The contest will run from March 1st through March 25th. All entries must be posted by midnight EST on March 25th. Please post your layouts in the contest gallery section and the title of your layout should be "March Ad Challenge Contest - username (insert your username here). Since we all want to see your fabulous layouts as soon as you put them up in the gallery, please either post the layout in the March contest forum or post a link to your layout in the gallery on the thread.The design team will vote on their favorite layout and the winner will be announced on April 1st on the blog and also on this thread. The prize is a Sweetwater Slide Box Mini Album as seen here in the Sugardumplin Store http://www.prestostore.com/catalog.php/sdumplin/dt25830/pd326510The prize retails for $12.95 - isn't the wooden album in this kit awesome?!!You can be inspired by the Ad in a number of different ways. Your layout doesn't have to be an exact copy but we should be able to see a resemblance to the Ad - either in design, color or another creative way. I'll be posting my layout based on the Ad over the weekend. You can use any supplies you wish - you don't have to use a SugarDumplin kit (although it would be fun to use this month's kit or any other past kit!)

Have fun and good luck! Can't wait to see your layouts!!

Check the contest section of the message board for more details.

Congratulations to Nursela! She won the February sketch contest and will receive a Sweetheart Goodie box from Doodlebug!
