We Can't Wait!

Diana and I had so much fun giving away all the great prizes daily for our Grand Opening that we've got a taste for it now. We just can't wait a whole week to give you a chance to win something!!

So, here's what we're gonna do. Periodically, we're going to run special "Second Chance Challenges". And, we don't feel like pigeon-holing these fun little extras into specific days of the week or types of challenges because surprises are fun. And sometimes you just need a little extra inspiration.

We may run a color challenge on a Sunday, or give you a fun prompt to get the creative juices flowing on a Tuesday. We might go two weeks between second chance challenges or you might get two in one week! You just never know. Sometimes the challenges will be tied to the current Thursday sketch, sometimes you'll get a brand new special sketch. Are you catching my drift here? They're surprises! Plain and simple.

So, as if you couldn't guess, today is our first Second Chance Challenge!!

We have been lucky enough to gain a regular sponsor in Scrapbook Kit Club!!




Scrapbook Kit Club is a monthly scrapbooking kit club with a personal touch! Every month you will receive scrapbooking creative inspiration in your mailbox. All you’ll have to do is add your photos and your story. You will find their kits include a variety of the latest scrapbooking products, mixed in with some “go to” favorites, along with other non-traditional supplies and exclusives to give your pages uniqueness and flair!


Beginning in October, Scrapbook Kit Club will regularly sponsor a Thursday sketch. But we are so excited about this we just can't wait to share some of their kit goodness with you! Soooooo...we're going to give you a chance to win a Halloween-themed SKC kit!! Here's a peek at what you can win:



Can you say yummy?!!

So, what do you need to do to get in on this action? For today's Second Chance Challenge, you must use the special sketch and prompt.




Prompt: Candy Inspiration

Make a layout inspired by Halloween or fall candy. You can wax poetic about your fave candy, rant about why candy corn is evil (I personally love it but I know some people don't), use the actual wrapper on your layout, use the wrapper or candy color, shape, or font as inspiration, WHATEVA!!! Just make it F-U-N!!!


Here's what our amazing Design Team has made to inspire you. (You can click on their names to peek at their blogs.)














So, let's see your Candy Inspiration!! Link your creations up to Mr. Linky on this post by Monday, 10/4 at 11:59pm EST for your chance to win the amazing Halloween-themed kit from Scrapbook Kit Club!!

And because we know you won't be able to get enough of Scrapbook Kit Club, they'll be back to sponsor a Sketchy Thursdays sketch later in October!!

Here's your excuse to go buy some of your favorite candy for your "photo shoot". LOL!

Heidi

p.s. Don't forget to link up your regular Sketchy Thursdays creation to the Mr. Linky in the sidebar by Wednesday night for your chance to win a prize pack from A Scrappy Design! Tune in tomorrow for their vendor spotlight.

We've only just got the regular oreos over here in the UK - I'm guessing it'll be a while before the orange ones make it over!

LOVE the sketch but does it have to be HALLOWEEN candy? Can it just be about candy? I don't celebrate Halloween.

Any candy is good! :) Thanks for the Q, Amarilys!
