Oh, dear. I have gotten my dates all mixed-up and didn't post the SYS Challenge this past Saturday. I am uploading Sketch 4 for everyone to download and get started on. I still have to create my page -as soon as I finish, I will add it to this post. Done and posted! :)
The Scrap Your Stash Challenge is a twice a month challenge aimed at helping you complete two (2) layouts per month with a total of twenty-two (22) by the end of the year at the same time using your DDE stash. New sketches will be posted on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month. Your layouts should be finished and uploaded before a new sketch is posted. Share your finished pages by uploading them to for a chance to win a $10 DDE gift certificate. A random gift certificate winner will be chosen from DDE's flick pool for each sketch. If you don't have a flickr account you can post a link to your page in the comments section. Remember, this is a "use your DDE stash" challenge so a majority of your pages should have DDE products. Sketches do not have to be followed to a "T". You can be as creative as you wish by turning a sketch sideways, adding lots of embellishments or taking the minimalist route -they are just a starting point. So, what say you? Are you up for a new round? Let's do this!
• Use Sketch #4 as inspiration to create a layout using Digital Design Essentials products.
• Upload your page to or post a link to your layout in the comments by Saturday, April 12th for a chance to win a $10 DDE gift certificate.
I had a lot of fun with this sketch. I kept the papers simple and layered quite a bit of embellishments to draw the eye to my photos. Can't wait to see your pages.
Congratulations Arianna! You won the $10 DDE gift certificate. Please contact me at to claim your prize.

We are starting a new month of SYS. I hope the sketches have been helping you to get some scrapping done. I believe I am finally on the right schedule so we should be good for two challenges a month -on the 2nd and 4th Saturday. You will have two weeks to get your pages done and I would love to see them on the .

Today we have three different digital scrapbook artists working with one kit and what a treat it is. The Real Life Collection was just released and the creative team quickly started scrapbooking their beautiful pages. It is so great to see their own individual styles shine through their layouts.
