July 2012 Template FREEBIE + Challenge
Posted on under FREEBIES, MONTHLY TEMPLATE
There are so many reasons why I think the monthly template challenge is fun. First of all, most importantly it helps to allow you to capture another memory. NEXT, is because it challenges you to try a different style: either a minimalist style or one more layered OR a layout with multiple photos and/or one photo. Lastly, its a great opportunity to win a great prize.
>>>> This month’s template is perfect for scrapbooking a small photo. You know the one that you took on your phone and it turned out blurry and grainy? Go ahead… tell that story. This template is minimal approach to still focus on the photo and story no matter how bad the picture turned out.
THE CHALLENGE
ENTER to WIN |Create a layout with this template, using Sahlin Studio products. Then upload it to the Sahlin Studio gallery and post a comment back here. You have until the end of the month at midnight EST, to complete the challenge. I will randomly pick a winner for a $10 gift certificate to my store!

Hi Krista!
I love your designs so much it made me join Lilypad forum to participate this challenge :-). I’m very new to digital scrapbooking, and this is the first challenge I participate, so didn’t know where to start and what to do really :-S.
Like I just found out today that I have to post comment back here! I created my layout and uploaded it at Lilypad last July 8 right after I read your newsletter about the challenge, I even thought that the challenge’s over. My mistake is I didn’t go to your website after newsletter, but went straight to Lilypad. So there I gather info about challenges and how to participate.
My first layout was simple and minimalist, but then I read from other challenges that I have to use as much elements and papers from the kit, so yes you’ll find that I put almost everything from the kit to it :-S
Anyway, here it is:

Thanks for the chance, Krista! xx

I love your style, Krista! I’ve been stalking your website forever, but I finally signed up at the Lilypad to participate in your challenge…it took me a while as I don’t venture far from MouseScrappers. I really need to scrap some non-Disney layouts though. Thanks for getting me moving!
