November 1st **WINNERS**

The Design Team were SUPER fast for me this time. All the votes were in within hours of the challenge ending and I am SO excited to announce the winners of our last challenge. 

Before I do that, I just wanted to share with you a layout created by one of followers which almost ALL the Design Team members asked me to give special mention to. 

This is a very touching layout created by a lady called Rebecca  from France. As a Design Team, we wanted to give you a shout out Rebecca because your layout and journalling on this layout is about a very sensitive subject and we were all touched and humbled that you shared your experience with us at Once Upon A..Sketch. As the creator of this site, I am so so pleased when I see my hopes for this challenge blog realised through pages like yours and through pages of SO many people who are putting pen to paper and journalling away on layouts they normally wouldn't. Rebecca, we thank you for sharing your story with us and hope that through Once Upon A..Sketch you were able to create a layout about such a sensitive issue that you will treasure. You all need to visit Rebecca's blog HERE, to understand what this layout is about. 

OK..now we have a winner of the last challenge..I should actually say a BIG winner because this layout was in the top 2 of each Design Team member's votes!

A VERY BIG congratulations goes to ..
