and then back to Once Upon A...Sketch blog to leave your name on the list. 

Our new MONTHLY challenge has just been released! Each Design Team member has created their own  layout based on this sketch and journalling criteria and you need to follow the above list to see what they came up with. 

We would love to see what you create, so please link your project to back at the Once Upon A...Sketch blog. You DO NOT have to participate in the blog hop to enter this challenge. 

Here is this month's challenge....

April Challenge

 The theme of this challenge is HOME. 

We would like you to create a layout and interpret the theme "HOME" however you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as little or as much as you like, but your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch. 

And here is my example...

 

 I think most of us on the DT were all thinking along similar lines by interpreting the theme of "home" as the people we loved, rather than the actual building where we live. I have to admit, because we have been moving around so much in recent years I don't tend to get too attached to the house we live in. That's why I preferred to do a layout about me and The Man. But you can chose to interpret it however you like!

 

 

Our main sponsor of this blog hop is ....


 

You can see I've used the fabulous Imaginarium Designs heart-top fence in my layout. These pieces are so intricately cut and there's none of that dusty black soot everywhere :-)
