AND THE WINNERS ARE....

I just wanted to say a huge big thank you to everyone who participated in the 'One of a Kind' Sketch Challenge. All your entries were absolutely amazing and I think the final tally was 22 it was so exciting to wake in the morning and find a gem on the Page Drafts facebook wall, not a bad way to start the day let me tell ya! 

 Each and everyone of you created stunning layouts which made the voting hard, they were all outstanding and incredibly unique. We were looking for pages that stuck to the sketch design as close as possible but still adding some personal flair.

The following ladies sure did that, so without further ado lets check out the winners....

Sue's page is adorable. The natural and blue toned palette was a perfect choice for scrapping these two handsome bubba's. All the cute elements added a softness without detracting from the photo's. It was also nice to see the 'One of a Kind' title being used extra points for that! Simply perfect in every way!

Wendy's page is a ripper. The fun subject matter was refreshing. Great use of patterned papers and just enough detail work in the background to add interest without being overwhelming. Besides that there's nothing like a watermelon, winner all round! 

Judith tackled this tricky template with ease. I love that you can still recognise the sketch however Judith made it her own by enlarging the photo grouping. Such perfect pics too and paired with all the gold embellies and background texture reinforces that majestic quality Giraffes ooze. Such a striking page!

So a big congrats lovelies your pages are sheer brilliance and incredibly masterful. If you can email me by clicking on the email button up on the sidebar that would be great then I can hook you up with Nat so you can get busy with some serious Imaginarium chipboards!

A big thank you too Nat May, for coordinating your team you rock girl (mwah) and to the Imaginarium Designs DT you guys are seriously amazing loved every single one of your artworks swooooon!

Happy Scrapping,

Em xox

THEME

You may instead want to scrap about something extraordinary or that special something because its unique and there is nothing else quite like it. Or alternatively you could include the phrase 'ONE OF A KIND' in your title work, journaling and or quote.

 You may rotate the sketches any which way your heart desires however your creation must remain as close as possible to the original sketch design.
