Sassy Lil Inspiration Challenge

In April it was my "job" to provide the Inspiration for the board from the 16th to the 30th. I decided to try and increase the amount of traffic to the thread and the board by offering up a challenge.

In order to participate and see the challenge you need to be a member of Sassy Lil Sketches forum.

This is what I came up with:
My challenge for you is to take a look at what I have posted from April 16th to April 30th. This is the link to the forum

Find 5 different inspirational items and apply them to your layout or if you chose to do cards you will need to make 4 cards that are different in design but can have the same 5 elements to qualify. You can mix and match from the finds posted but I need to know which finds you are using in your design. If you chose to make a kit from your scrapbook supplies before you put together your layout or cards...I need a pic of your "kit" before you start.

This challenge will run from Saturday 4/30/11 to Saturday 5/7/11 at midnight CST.

For all those who enter, you will be entered into a drawing for 1 of 2 prizes. Layout/Card winners will have their first choice of "Door #1" or "Door #2" both of which are valued at $15-$20 each.

The 2nd part of my challenge is to promote Sassy Lil' Sketches to all your in real life friends and family who are scrappers as well as your friends on other sites. In order to be qualified for this part of the challenge, you will need to leave a comment on my 5/2/11 blog post with a link to where you are linking up SLS to attract possible new members. If you get someone to join SLS and participate using at 1 of Cherie's sketches from the blog and posting at least 10 times, have them to leave a comment on my blog that they came because of you and I will put your name in the hat again.

Now for the specifics...You are eligible to enter to win one (1) time with your layout/cards. You are eligible to enter multiple times on the 2nd part of the challenge. All Sassy members are eligible to play along...International girls are very welcome to play along just like everyone else. The most important thing is to have fun, play fair, jump in with both feet and take chances! Lets go girls!!!

Sweet Treat

This month for Sassy Lil Sketches, I chose to scrap a surprise that I received from my husband on a date night.

You can find the sketch by Cherie located here in the Sassy Blog

Journaling reads: Totally unexpected but very much appreciated. Very pretty and the fresh fruit smell was amazing. What a great way to begin a date night! I hope to get another one...one day! 2/2011
