More April Challenge Inspiration + the prizes for April

Hey everyone. I just wanted to show you today some more examples for our current challenge and to introduce our main sponsor and other sponsors for April. 

The main sponsor for April is none other than the super amazing kit club (that I happen to be on  the design team) C'est Magnifique kit club. 


C'est Magnifique Kits is a US based company whose kits predominantly feature 'hard to find' international papers from Denmark, Poland, France and many other countries. We have also featured embellishments from Australia, the UK, Poland and more.  We strive to always be 'different' than other kit clubs and feel you will love our elegant and sophisticated touch.
You can find out website HERE and our forums HERE . To find out how you can join our club click HERE

And what do you ask is the prize they are offering to the winner of our April challenge???

Besides WELL you will love this one, because it has been one of the most POPULAR kits so far...Its the APRIL kit which looks like this..

April Challenge

 The theme of this challenge is HOME. 
We would like you to create a layout and interpret the theme "HOME" however you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as little or as much as you like, but your layout must incorporate this theme  and this sketch.

  4. I have realized that car insurance firms know the autos which are at risk of accidents and also other risks. Additionally , they know what form of cars are susceptible to higher risk along with the higher risk they have got the higher your premium charge. Understanding the straightforward basics involving car insurance will assist you to choose the right form of insurance policy that can take care of the needs you have in case you become involved in an accident. Appreciate your sharing your ideas on the blog.
