October Sneak Peek Day #5

Our final Sneak Peek for October highlights our second Doubleshot Kit - BasicGrey Wander, and today's layout is brought to you by DS Barista, Shawnna Samples. (I absolutely cannot believe how much her son has grown!) The October Doubleshot Kit has a LOT of mix-and-match potential this month! I can hardly wait to dig in!


We've left our fourth October Flavors of the Month kit as a surprise. Watch the website later today for the full reveal of all of October's "Flavors!"

October Sneak Peek Day #4

Today, we're sneaking a little peek at a layout from Barista, Melanie Call. She has used the Crate Paper Restoration FOTM layout kit and some chipboard and alphabet stickers from the October Embellishment Kit to create this gorgeous layout highlighting her sisters. (Don't they all look alike?!)

October Sneak Peek Day #3

We've got a little peek at the October Doubleshot Kit today. Today's layout features the brand new Elementary line from Studio Calico. There is a definite vintage schoolhouse charm to these papers and embellishments, but with the papers being double-sided, this kit would absolutely work for other themes as well - autumn and everyday come to mind!

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. :) )
