August 15 2015 Challenge Featured Layout #2

We've seen so many wonderful layouts this month that it was terribly difficult to choose just one to highlight today! But I think you're going to love how the featured page seamlessly combines the vintage with the new.

First, a word about our August 15 challenge sponsors...

A big thank you goes out to A Flair for Buttons for sponsoring this challenge. They are offering a set of 8 flair to 2 lucky participants, which means we have an extra prize to give away. Lucky us, and lucky you!

My name is Shelley Haganman and I am the owner of "a flair for buttons" on Etsy. I design and create one inch flair buttons. Flair buttons (flat backed) are great for all your paper projects such as cards, layouts, mini albums, etc. My flair can also be used as pins to wear (pin backed) or as magnets (open backed). I have flair for all types of themes. If you don't see something you are looking for feel free to email me and I may be able to make your ideas into a new set! Flair buttons are a great way to add a bit of fun to any project!

Thank you also to ScrapMuch, who is sponsoring this challenge by offering a $20.00 gift certificate toward project kits (shipping not inclusive) to a second lucky winner!

ScrapMuch? is an online and mobile store, that specializes in event sales, retreats, crops and classes.  We offer great products at competitive prices, including a very economical kit club that is an exciting and affordable way to add to your scrapbook stash and inspire you to create.

Linda is our featured artist today. On her darling page she matched up the perfect boyish papers and elements with those vintage 1970s photos, don't you think?

We are so glad that you joined us, Linda. Please grab our "featured button" below and wear it on your blog.

Here's a reminder of our current sketch:

Please link up your layouts over in the sidebar by August 29th 2015 at midnight EST to be in the running for one of our prizes. All prizes will be awarded using Random.org to pick a number.

When linking your layouts, please make sure it is linked to the specific post your layout is in, not your blog as a whole. It can be hard for our team to find your layout, especially if you blog often. You can also link from any gallery, including Facebook and Flickr (although we may not be able to comment in all forums.)

Feel free to combine this sketch challenge with other non-sketch challenges, such as colour challenges.

Please post a link back to Stuck?! Sketches on your blog entry for our challenge. We would also love for you to share the sketch.

Thanks for joining us today. You still have a few days left to participate, and we would really love to see what you create with this sketch.

Now let's get started with the challenge, here is your sketch we hope you are inspired to play along!

This week we have a guest designer joining us. Please join me in welcoming Delsie Mowbray!!

I will let Delsie tell you a bit about herself....

"I'm a career soldier (34 years) in the Australian Army Psychology Corps - somehow I've managed to have three wonderful children and now have four gorgeous grand-daughters. I fell into scrapbooking with my elder daughter ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. I'm a bling girl - I adore flowers and sparkle. I have two very different styles - vintage/shabby chic and the opposite clean, sharp lines of paper piecing and punch-work. I'm delighted to have this opportunity to share my 'take' on this month's lovely sketch."

Here is Delsie's layout based on our sketch.

Thank you for joining us Delsie and sharing your talent with us!

Now lets have a look at our gorgeous DT reveals (in alphabetical order!)....
