Inspire us!

One of our new features at Sketch N Scrap this year was the addition of a third layout sketch each month. This new sketch isn't just any old sketch but rather it is a sketch that is based on a layout that "inspired" our sketch artists.  We receive daily inspiration from our readers and participants as well as our lovely and talented DT members, and what better way to showcase all the inspiring talent then basing a sketch on one of their creations!  So far we have based our sketches on our DT's creations, but today we are changing that up and letting "YOU" our readers be the inspiration behind the "Inspired by" sketch for July!!!!
Here is how to play along:
1)  Link up below an ORIGINAL layout- your layout must be an original (created by you), not scraplifted from another person, not created based a sketch.  Your layout does not need to be new or never before seen, just an original design that is your own.
2) Deadline for this challenge is June 20th at midnight CST
3) Winner will be selected by a vote of our Senior DT here at Sketch N Scrap
4) Winner will be contacted by June 22nd and given further details at that time
5) If you are the chosen winner you are agreeing to allow us to make a sketch based on the layout you submit, we will use this as our July INSPIRED BY sketch
6) Winner agrees to prepare a blog post for July 10th that will showcase their layout the sketch is based on, on their blog (You must have a blog to enter this challenge, no Flicker or gallery postings will be allowed)
7) YOU MUST PROVIDE A LINK BACK TO SKETCH N SCRAP in your blog post when linking up
If you have questions please email us at sketchnscrap@gmail.com
Happy creating!  We can't wait to see what you create!

Tag you are it!

I love tags! I think they add such a special touch to a card, gift bag,  gift box or even  on its own. The problem is that I rarely get the mojo to make them.
