Apron Strings sketch contest contest closed

sketch A big thank you to Lori at Apron Strings for donating one of her fabulous Breadbox kits for this contest! The winner will receive the July kit, chocked full of Jenni Bowlin, My Mind's Eye and Bo Bunny goodness (including papers, cardstock, die-cut paper, ribbons, flowers, transparency, bling, tickets, brads, stickers and so much more!).

Apron Strings July Kit Create a layout based on the sketch above -- any size, any orientation, any way you want to interpret it (using any products you would like). The contest starts today and ends at midnight (MST) Sunday, August 16, 2009. Post a comment with a link to your entry on this post or email your entry to becky@pagemaps.com. (As much as possible, please link on this post to make the judging easier for my victims ... err ... friends who do the judging.) This contest is open to everyone, everywhere!

The theme for this contest will be "Summer." :) Get creative and have some fun!

Becky

I recently stumbled upon PageMaps and LOVE it!!! OMG, seriously, my 12x12 would take HOURS to do. Becky's PageMaps rock! I will be going out to buy her book this week to have readily available. I guess I'll have to submit my "take" on the summer contest via email as I don't really have a blog. :(

I enjoyed this challenge. I've never used a page map yet for a layout. Just discovered the website in the last couple of weeks. Here's my interpretation of the map, featuring one of our favourite summertime pastimes - camping!!!
