Week #30 Weekly Challenge!

There is nothing that is more popular than BANNERS in the scrapbooking world right now. You see banners of various shapes and sizes on all sorts of layouts. We even created our own "Banner Builders" Stamp Set (now Sold Out!) so that you can make your own with your favorite patterned papers whenever you want to - and you're going to want to create a banner this week! (Can you see where this is going?)

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Create a layout that includes a Banner! Upload your layout (along with your real life name) to the WEEK #30 CHALLENGE FOLDER. All layouts must be uploaded by 9:00 a.m. CST on Monday, August 2nd.

Below is our Baristas' take on this popular trend, appearing in our July Gallery:

THE PRIZE: I am so loving the new Crate Paper Sneak Peeks that I'm seeing, and I can hardly wait to see it all in person tomorrow. But, since I don't have any of the brand new Crate Paper but I do have more of these AWESOME collection packs, we're going to do another round of these AWESOME prize packages from Crate! This week's prize features a HUGE kit of goodies from Crate Paper's Lemongrass line. You'll get the complete Lemongrass collection kit with load of patterned paper and die-cuts, and you'll get the coordinating rub-ons, glitter die-cuts, alphabet stickers and glitter borders. This kit is so big that you'll have enough to share with your favorite scrappin' buddy. :)


CHALLENGE RULES:There are only 2 rules if you want to enter a weekly challenge:
1.) Your submission has to be a new layout created for this challenge. :) You're on your honor here, but the idea of a Weekly Challenge is to finish new layouts and not simply upload old layouts. :) (Your actual layouts can be done in any size - 12x12, 8.5x11, 8x8... whichever size you scrapbook in!)
2.) Please only submit one time for each weekly challenge! (You will need to be registered on our message board to upload your layout to the Challenge Folder gallery. Registration just requires that we confirm your e-mail address so we know you're not a spammer. :) (In order to upload layouts to our gallery, you will need to be sure to resize layouts to no larger than 500x500 pixels and 72-75 dpi. If you're file size is much larger than that, you'll get an error message when attempting to upload. :) )
