September 1 2016 Challenge Featured Layout #1

Today's featured layout is based on our September 1st sketch, and I'll just say that I hope you aren't allergic to color. ;-) But before we show you today's inspiration, we want to recognize our sponsors for this challenge.


We are fortunate to be able to offer extra prizes for both of our challenges this month. Read below to learn about our sponsors for our September 1st challenge.

Later this month we will have a blog hop with some of our design team and the Clique Kits team, and a free September kit will go to one of our lucky hoppersWatch for details on our joint hop later this month!

Crafters on the Memory Works forum observing losses of numerous pillars of the scrapbooking world both online and in brick and mortar, led us to believe that other scrapbookers would welcome a chance to continue to pursue their hobby if there was a way to acquire a variety of new, trendy products conveniently and economically! As a result of much brainstorming (still ongoing) with a focus on less consumerism, more sharing, supporting others in creative small businesses, and preserving not just our memories but our planet for the next generation, Clique Kits was born! 

Currently, Clique Kits spans from Europe to Australia and across the U.S.A. and has grown into this business from "our basements". The name Clique Kits is a play on the word "Click" for the sound our cameras make recording memories, and is also a tongue in cheek metaphor for our ever-widening circle of friends who are anything BUT clique-y. This outlet lets us share our passion for memory keeping through our kits, blog, and social media community and is always friendly and supportive. Together with our design team, we strive to inspire our members and friends with tutorials, creative inspiration, articles, videos, inspirational blog shares, and much more! In our first year we have quadrupled our membership and sold hundreds of limited edition kits in addition to our often unique school store products sourced from the indie, handmade, and fair trade markets. We now have over 4000 Facebook fans and our interactive community online continues growing. Read more about our mission and philosophy here. You can also read more about the current Clique Kits Leadership Team and we welcome you to contact us with questions or feedback at any time!

Here's another look at the sketch:



Please link up your layouts over in the sidebar by September 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. Please stop back often this month because we have lots going on that you won't want to miss. 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.
