August GDT challenge


Hello everyone! It's time for the August Guest Design Team member challenge. This sketch is an old but a goodie from the Sketchy Thursdays archive. For our monthly challenge, we ask that you incorporate more than just the sketch.

Also include:
• A summer topic
• The colors red, orange and/or yellow
• A journaling spot

This month's GDT challenge is sponsored by Miss Art's Papercrafting School!



"Have you ever wished there was a school which only taught your favorite classes, that had the best teachers and where tuition was so affordable it left you plenty to buy the most stylish school supplies? Miss Art's Papercrafting School is a virtual academy for every student who wants to learn the latest techniques from the paper crafting industry's leading experts.

Subscriptions to our monthly classes start at $5.00 and include live online chats and personal email responses from your favorite designers. Consisting of 2 - 12 videos with unlimited monthly access each class is the perfect blend of individualized crafting and supportive learning. You may purchase our reasonable kits to compliment your course or pull items from your own stash using our detailed supply lists.

$5 201 Subscription Miss Art's 201 classes are composed of 10-12 videos, and are perfect for the crafter seeking to learn new moderate to advanced skills and detailed techniques. In these monthly classes, our industry-leading teachers bring you 8-12 videos taking you through a detailed project, and teaching you every technique they use along the way. As a 201 student, you will have the unique opportunity to participate in a live online chat and receive personal email responses from the teacher.

$10 101 Subscription Miss Art's 101 classes are posted every 10 days, and are designed for the crafter who loves having a constant flow of new ideas, fun tips, and techniques. These classes are video based, and range in length from 2-6 videos. As a 101 student, you will have access to live online chats with some of your favorite designers and teachers, as well as personal email responses every time you have a question.

$15 Extra Credit Subscription Miss Art's Extra Credit subscription includes access to all of our classes, at the 101 and 201 levels, providing you with a total of 4 new classes every month. As an Extra Credit student, you will also receive a Library Pass, which will enable you to see classes that have been posted for 90 days and archived in the library."

They have generously offered up their fabulous July kit to the monthly guest design team winner. It's a great one, isn't it?! Love those flowers!

Looks like everyone's busy this afternoon, Jamie. I'm just a player here, but since I've entered a few times, I can answer - this sketch is to enter in the running for the guest design team member. There is another sketch in the post below if you just want to play in the weekly challenge.

What a great sketch!!! I struggled a little bit because I happen to be working on an 8½x11 album at the moment and it's a little out of my 12x12 comfort zone...but I love that it inspired me to pull out a pile of supplies I'd been avoiding! :)
