Giveaway & new Changes at Sketch N Scrap!

Hi folks!  As you all most likely can imagine, new endeavors are a learning experience, and so far Sketch N Scrap has been one for Jewels and I as we endeavor to make Sketch N Scrap a fun yet challenging place to hang with fellow scrapbookers here on the web.  We are so excited by all the inspiration shared here on our blog, and we are thankful to those who have continued to support us by using and sharing our sketches through our growing pains.  So it is with much excitement that we are announcing the launching of a new and improved Sketch N Scrap!  Starting August 1st we will be posting our sketches on the 1st and the 15th of each month.  You will have until the end of the month to create layouts based on our sketches.  The new deadline starting August 1st for entries into the prize draw will be the last day of the month.  That will give you more time to participate, and we hope it will allow those on a tight schedule more of a chance to play and maybe even win!  Each layout will give you ONE entry into the prize drawing for that month, just make sure and link it up in our sidebar by the last day of the month at midnight PST.  Since we are only doing one drawing, you will link up ALL your layouts for that month, no matter which sketch they are based on in the sidebar.  By using the sidebar we hope that everyone who stops by our site will be able to see your submissions prominently displayed for added inspiration without having to scroll through older blog posts.  We will continue to post additional sketches to promote our sponsors or other special occasions at times and these will also be eligible for the monthly prize draw.  We are adding a new feature as well, starting August 20th, we will be adding a chance to be featured as a GUEST Design Team member for the following month.  So each month on the 20th we will post an exclusive sketch for our Guest DT contest.  You will have until the 27th of that month to complete a layout based on the sketch.  The DT will then pick their fav who will be featured the following month as our Guest DT member.  We will also continue to have a featured scrapper each month, who will be selected from all the scrappers who participate each month by completing at least one layout based on our sketches.  I hope you are as excited about our changes as we are!  To celebrate let's have a random give away!  To be entered, please become a follower of our blog and leave us a comment by midnight PST on Saturday August 5th.  To get another extra chance to win please help us spread the word about Sketch N Scrap.....just share about our site on another site, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc and post where you shared (with a link to your share) here in the comments section by Saturday August 5h at midnight PST!  The prize you are playing for is a BRAND NEW collection pack from My Mind's Eye called Winter Wonderland!  Aren't you ready for cooler weather?  Well, I am and hopefully our winner will feel the coolness as she creates with this just released collection pack!  Good luck everyone!

July Sponsor!

Where is the summer going?  Can you believe it is July already?  Are you all ready to get your scrap on with another month of fun and challenging sketches?  I hope so!  We have another amazing sponsor for July, please give a shout out to our sponsor Scrappy Chics! 

Hello! I'm  Melinda, the owner of Scrappy Chics.  Thank you for having me as a sponsor on your incredible site. The creativity is so inspiring and amazing.
 Scrappy Chics was est. in 2008.   Scrappy Chics' goal is to help preserve your past for future generations to enjoy.  Each kit is filled with coordinating paper and embellishments.  When you receive your kit the only thing you will need to do is create.  We take the guess work out of the coordinating.
Our prize for Sketch N Scrap is an Addicted to Paper kit.  We hope you enjoy! Good luck to everybody and happy scrapping!
And here is the wonderful prize!  Wow! One lucky winner is going to have a lot of fun scrapping their memories with this lovely kit!

To be entered to win, simply complete a layout based on our weekly sketch and link it up by the deadline.  You will be able to get ONE entry for EACH layout you do (no limit) based on one of our sketches.  So the more you play, the more chances to win!  I will count all entries starting from today until July 31st as long as they are entered by the deadline.  So you still have a bit of time to get your scrap on with this week's sketch and we will unveil another sketch tomorrow morning!  International players are encouraged, but please note due to higher shipping costs we will ask that you pay the shipping on your prize if you should win.  We hope you will join us this month as we get Scrappy with our sponsor Scrappy Chics!
