CHALLENGE: 5-Year Anniversary Sketch 142

:::::::::::::::::: WINNER ANNOUNCED BELOW ::::::::::::::::::

Today is Got Sketch's 5th birthday!  Yes, it's been five years since we posted our very first sketch.  I can hardly believe it has been this long.  Thanks for being so supportive of the sketch blog all these years.  :)  It's my pleasure to continue to create fabulous sketches to help jumpstart your scrapping.


Because it's a reason to celebrate, we wanted to host a Challenge with a special sketch.  (We plan to do more of these!)


"5" is the magic number.  Create a layout with the following criteria:
  • 5 photos (any size)
  • 5 different patterned papers (use those scraps!) - You can use cardstock, of course, but that won't count in the five.
  • a cluster of 5 accents (not strict on this.  buttons/brads count.)


Any theme.  Any color scheme.  You can flip the sketch, rotate it, and interpret it any which way as long as your layout falls within the criteria listed above.


Are you up for the challenge?  We hope you play along, because we will be selecting a random winner.  The winner will receive a prize package from one of my favorite manufacturers, Basic Grey!
WIN THIS!!  Basic Grey's new PB&J line:  A collection pack, layered stickers, & wooden buttons.
Collection pack includes 12 double-sided papers, 1 sheet coordinating alphabet stickers, & 1 sheet stickers.
