July Challenge!!!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all well.

Here today to reveal our new challenge for the month of July and to also welcome a new sponsor to our blog this month, along with their Design Team, the wonderful Swedish manufacturer Inkido

I hope you all get a chance to play along whether you are in the middle of your summer or winter holidays :) 




Journalling Theme: "Grow"


Your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch below. 

Please make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and please tell us where your journalling is . You are allowed to journal in any language but please tell us where on your page we will find your journalling. Remember journalling has to be a bit more than a title, or a generic comment. Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.







Please help me welcome the winner of our May challenge, the wonderful


Maja Stokk (Sweden)



This month, we also welcome the team from Inkido, who are this month's main sponsors.

Hey there everyone! Thank you to all that took part in our June challenge :) Welcome also to new followers.

Sketch and keep up with our challenges please click on the Bloglovin icon on the left sidebar of this blog or go HERE 

You can also follow our blog via newsletter , and you will also find that link on the left sidebar of this blog.

SO on with the winners for June. This month, we are doing things a little different. To save myself some time and to make it easier for winners and sponsors to stay in touch, I though it might be better from here on to provide the winners with the sponsors emails. So if you are a winner please contact the sponsor using the email provided under the image of your winners layout. 

I would also like to take a moment to remind you that your layouts MUST include some journalling based on our theme and you must also follow our sketch. Unfortunately a number of our designers had to exclude some amazing layouts due to this reason :(
