June GDT Challenge





Hi there! What better time to post our June GDT challenge than during the annual National Scrapbooking Day weekend. There are challenges, crops, hops and prizes every corner you turn online this weekend. I, for one, am very excited—as I hope you are, too. So much inspiration out there!

And Sketchy Thursdays is happy to share a challenge for you today, too.

Use the sketch above as well as draw inspiration from the picture to create your entry for our monthly challenge. The Top 5 will be selected by our Design Team and posted here on Monday, May 23 for you to vote. The overall winner will receive this month's prize and the spot on the Design Team for the month of June.

This GDT monthly challenge is sponsored by Scrappy Chics.


Hello scrappy friends, I'm Melinda, the owner of Scrappy Chics. I have been scrapbooking for about 11 years. I love everything about scrapbooking from collecting, organizing, and of course preserving my past. There is nothing like the smell of fresh paper. (LOL!) I have been in the scrapbook industry as a store employee, manager, designer, teacher and whatever I could challenge myself at for the past 8 years.

I started Scrappy Chics in 2009 by selling my kits at local flea markets during the summer. I then sold my kits at a local scrapbook store and decided last summer to venture into my online kit club which officially opened in November. I love coordinating embellishments, paper and making a few things to add in my kits. I feel it is a touch of love going into each kit.

My main goal as the owner of Scrappy Chics is to make my customers feel like they have received a gift when opening each kit. I want it to feel like a present each month in the mail box. After all, we live a very busy life and should treat ourselves with nothing better than scrapping goodies.

Melinda has been so generous to offer up this fabulous kit to our June GDT winner. (Thanks, Melinda!!!)


But, you can't win if you don't play. You have until May 21 at midnight to post your entry to the comments section on this post.

Please do not put your GDT entry in the weekly Mr. Linky on the sidebar. It will be deleted as the weekly challenges end and we'll lose your entry. We don't want to lose anyone! Link in the comments! :) We love you all!

Thanks for making Sketchy Thursdays one of your scrapbooking go-to places. We are so happy to have you all join us each week!

I originally took inspiration from the colors of the tea cups and the lovely roses. As it turned out I decided to use photos from a time we went to tea. Thanks for the inspiration!
