Crazy For Kits Design Team Call

Image: Scrapdango

The first part of the challenge is that the layout must be school themed, but don’t worry if you don’t have any school photos. It can also be about what you or anyone has learned in the school of life–any wisdom that you have to share that you have learned over the years.

Here are the other recipe elements your layout must have:

1. At least one photo
2. Brads
3. Chipboard
4. Doodling (no matter how small the amount)
5. Envelope

Notice how my elements are in alphabetical order?

I know the envelope may be a bit different but this can be any type of envelope, big or small, including handmade ones to maybe hold journaling or anything else. Get creative.

Your layouts are due by August 15th and must be uploaded in the gallery in the September Guest Designer search section and be copied to this thread.

And here are a few other rules:

• Must be a new layout created for this contest. Layout must be your original design, no sketches.
