July 15th Challenge

Welcome to our July 15th challenge!

Journalling Criteria : your journalling has to be a quote (handwritten, printed, rub on etc. ). As an option you can include journalling in the lines on sketch but this is not necessary.


Guest Designers

Here is the work of our 3 winners from June. 





Once again I am just amazed at this talent and you have all proved why it was SO hard to choose between the 3 of you! Thank you very much for your contribution to our challenge blog. We loved having you here and hope you enjoyed your time too. 

Now, here is the amazing Natalie May, our permanent guest designer from Imaginarium Designs with her take on our sketch using Imaginarium Designs chipboard

We have a BRAND new sponsor and a VERY exciting one as well. Please welcome to Once Upon A...Sketch...


Most of our Design Team members were SO lucky to receive some of these packs to work with for this challenge! Just look at how BEAUTIFUL these flowers look on their work above!

Manor House Creations is a brand new Australian company specialising in wholesale scrapbooking and craft flowers.  Our flowers are expically made with scrapbookers in mind and are of the highest possible quality, but also provide good value with more in the pack for a similar or better price than current products on the market.
We are also the Australian distributor for The ScrapCake, a polish company who boast the talented designers, Karola Witczak and Kinga Spiczko. 
We hope you will love and embrace our new company and products as much as we do.  If you would like to purchase our products, please contact your local or online store and request that they stock them.
