Corner Scraps is our featured artist today. I love how she flipped the sketch counter-clockwise to better suit her needs, her fun topic (brain freeze), subtle palette, and great embellishing.

We are so glad you joined us, Corner Scraps. 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 July 29th 2017 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.

"Hello all, I'm Helen and I'm an one excited West Australian thrilled to be the guest designer for this challenge. By day I am a primary school teacher and by night I love to escape to my craft room and create, well except on Wednesday nights when I am learning to play bridge. I started scrapbooking when my twin boys were 17 months old and boy time flies as they just turned 17 a couple of weeks ago. I am currently on The Crafty Maven Getaway design team and I really enjoy making scrapbook process videos, I even made one for this layout! I hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration. Take care and happy crafting."

July 1 2017 Challenge Featured Layout #2

Welcome back! Today we're featuring another beautiful layout based on our July 1st sketch. But before we show you today's inspiration, we want to recognize our sponsors for this challenge.

A big thank you goes out to Creative Embellishments for sponsoring this challenge. They are offering a $25.00 gift certificate to their online shop to one lucky participant!

 Creative Embellishments is a new family owned company that was created by Michael and Nicolle Kramer. We are a husband and wife team who design and manufacture unique, high quality chipboard, wood and rubber stamp products. It is our mission is to offer fun and inspiring products to bring out your inner creativity that you can add to any project.

AND A big thank you also goes out to Charms Creations. They are sponsoring this challenge with a $20.00 gift certificate to their online store for another lucky participant!

My name is Charmane Koch & I am owner of Charms Creations! I am living in the Adelaide Hills, about 20 minutes from Adelaide, South Australia with my partner Ash & 3 gorgeous children - our son Chei aged 12 & two girls Harmony aged 10 & Ryarne aged 6!

I started Charms Creations back in 2010, after creating a few handmade creations for my own layouts I had a suggestion to make them and sell them to others. It started as selling only a few for a *Market* on a Scrapbooking Site, then selling them on my blog, then I started selling them on my Facebook Page.

I started selling them in a Big Cartel Store -http://charmscreations.bigcartel.com/ a few years ago, and still do, along with having sales & new releases over on the Charms Creations Facebook Page.

I am very lucky to also have a fantastic Creative Team who have been helping me spread the word with their gorgeous work around the web & in Scrapbooking Magazines.

I also have an AMAZING group of regular customers who also share their gorgeous work here in this fabulous group to give Ideas & Inspiration as well!

So please feel free to share YOUR work with us here - we would LOVE to see it!

Stephanie is our featured artist today. Her photos are fun. Her title includes a great mix of fonts and textures. And those fussy-cut flowers are gorgeous!
