Welcome to our first challenge of 2014!!
Here at S J Crafts we love a challenge. Something to take us out of our comfort zone or to encourage us to try something a little different.
Each month throughout the rest of 2014 we will set a challenge and we'd love it if you would play along and take up the challenge. Each month the challenge will vary - sometimes we'll have a sketch, sometimes a colour palette, a photo inspiration or a "recipe" of stash to use or maybe a technique.
At the end of the post there is "linky tool" for you to link up your challenge entry so we can pop along and see and we will feature a few of our favourite projects next month. We really hope lots of you will play along with us and take up the challenge!
Our first challenge is a Sketch designed by DT member Jennifer and based on her "Muddy Puddles" scrapbook layout shown below, which was originally featured here!
To get you started here's a few samples from the S J Crafts Design Team:
Louise adapted the sketch to include more photographs. Her supplies included Simple Stories Say Cheese collection.

Jenny used My Minds Eye Cut & Paste 6" x 6" papers and Basic Grey Candy Buttons and shows how a layout sketch can be adapted for a card.
LJ's lovely page tells a great story and uses Echo Park's This and That Graceful collection.
This layout uses Simple Stories Daily Grind, Glitz heart washi tape and a sprinkling of enamel dots.
Annie's cute layout features Glitz Designs "Wild & Free" collection, some snippets from Simple Stories "Say Cheese" and My Mind's Eye "Chalk Studio" label stickers.

Using Simple Stories (Urban Traveller & 24/Seven) and a few Crate Paper scraps, Jemma has created a super affect by dividing her photo into three sections.
So, will you take up our challenge this month?
Will you increase the photos, rotate it, flip it or stay true to the sketch?
Our New Design Team member Jemma is kindly offering a prize to celebrate joining the S J Crafts team. She will select one person at random from all those who link up to win a small prize!
Use the linky tool below to add a link to the blog post (or gallery) with your layout or card and a link back to this post is much appreciated.
You will need to ensure your link is added by 28th February (11.59pm) and we'll select a few favourites to be featured in a post soon after.
Enjoy x
