Welcome to another challenge here at Once Upon A..Sketch. I hope you have all been enjoying playing along with us the last couple of challenges and loving the Color Stories Inspiration case files.
Remember, when you finish uploading your layout on our site here, don't forget to go over to CSI's gallery HERE to upload your work there too so that you are in with a chance to be featured there too or win a prize at the end of the month!
There will be FOUR challenges here at Once Upon A..Sketch for September instead of our usual 1 challenge . This is because CSI has 4 challenges each month. Each challenge will be revealed on Saturday morning (Australian time) to coincide with the challenge reveals at CSI in the USA and you MUST remember that you will have just 9 days per challenge to enter your layouts here on our side bar. As you know usually our challenges are month long.
Our winners here at Once Upon A..Sketch will be announced at the beginning of October and our Design Team will look at ALL the entries from ALL the challenges. So the more challenges you play along at, the more chances you have of being one of our challenge/prize winners or Top 5 Featured layouts. This is a little different to CSI who announce their "featured" layouts on a weekly basis.
As mentioned before, everything will go back to normal in October and we will have a reveal October 1st as usual. So I hope you guys have fun and enjoy what we have planned for you. Don't forget that the entries for this challenge are due by 2:00pm Monday 1st of October, Australian Eastern Standard Time
For this challenge, you must use :
*the SKETCH provided
* all the colours in the SCHEME
* at least 2 elements from the EVIDENCE
* at least 1 element from the TESTIMONY!
Winner of July challenge Paloma Calvalho (Brazil)
My name is Paloma, I´m from Brazil. I´m an architect and civil engineer. I have been crafting since I was a teenager and paper scrapping since 2010 when I got my first album from my sister. I love scrapping, photography, reading, and creating other art projects. My blog: palomascrapbook.blogspot.com
My name is Zuzia, for some known also as zuziucha. My friends call me Zu. I am totally crazy about scrapbooking and my two daughters-6 years old Julia and 7 months old Lili. I love creating especially albums but some months ago I started creating layouts which fascinated me very much. I have a small dog, a full of energy Jack Russel Terrier and this layout is about her. When Lili was born she went absolutely crazy. She was sleeping next to my little girl and didn't want anybody to come closer.
I would like to thank the Once Upon a Sketch team for featuring my layout few months ago. I am so proud being able to be the Guest Designer in September. Thank you girls so much!!!

We are so incredibly happy to welcome a brand new sponsor to our blog this month, one that is a fave amongst many of our designers including my self. Please help me welcome the incredibly stunning paper company 7 Dots Studio
7 Dots Studio is a polish scrapbooking company. It was created by a mom of 2 little children, who loves scrapbooking and cannot sit in one place for longer than a while :) Dream could come true, because of two friends - Finnabair (Anna Dąbrowska-Pękocka) and Anai (Anna Iwanowska-Pietkiewicz). Wonderful women, scrapbookers and designers, who love creating. We launched our first two lines in Autumn 2011 - they were extremely warm welcomed by scrapbookers from all over the world. We always choose best possible materials – we are also scrapbookers and we know, how important is the quality of products, which we use to make our memories live forever! We love working with many kinds of media and all our products are media friendly.
Our products are sold in many shops across the Europe and also in Australia and USA. You can find constantly updated list of our retailers on our website in section "where to buy".
