August 1 2016 Challenge Featured Layout #1

Today's featured layout is based on our August 1st sketch, and we're pretty sure you'll fall in love with the faces on this happy page. But before we show you today's inspiration, we want to recognize our sponsors for this challenge.

A big thank you goes out to ScrapMatts for sponsoring this challenge with 2 large pieces of chipboard (valued at $20.00) for one lucky participant.

 ScrapMatts is a place to learn, share ideas and view some great design concepts, while offering Australian Made, Laser Cut Chipboard, original shapes and designs, made to compliment your scrapbooking pages or your card making projects

AND thank you to Scrapbook Circle, who is sponsoring this challenge with a choice of any current and in stock kit for a second fortunate participant.

We are a low commitment kit club where you can purchase a single kit at our regular price or sign up for a subscription where you commit to only two consecutive kits and receive a $5 discount each month on your kit. We pride ourselves in being a boutique scrapbooking company where you will find exclusive and custom made products in every kit. We love preserving memories and our design team shares daily inspiration on our blog.

Vija is our featured artist today. She showcases these two wonderful photos of her friend's Golden Retrievers with a simple palette and lots of texture.

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

Here's another look at the sketch:

Please link up your layouts over in the sidebar by August 29th at midnight EST to be in the running for one of our prizes!   All prizes will be drawn randomly 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 as 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. (Though 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, too!

Thank you for visiting us today. We hope our sketch inspires you. Be sure to show us what you've made because we love to see your work and hand out prizes.

Janice :-)
