    Welcome to Kristin Aagard Designs SURPRISE! Challenge

    On the first Sunday (maybe) of the month Kristin hosts a new challenge, the challenge type and requirements change each month (surprise!). The challenges can be subject matter challenges, photo challenges, technique challenges, journaling challenges, etc. The challenges are typically for the full month but that can change (surprise!). Even the number of winners can change (surprise, again!)

    Let’s get started...

    April 2017

    The Challenge = Copy Cat

    Create a layout using the six instructions below that are based on the sample layout. You can add other items/design to your layout as long as you include the instructions below.

    1. Use three, color photos.
    2. Use the same piece of tape, three times.
    3. Use two fonts (alphas and elements (i.e., word art, word tags) with words/fonts in the kit do not count).
    4. Use two animal elements (sample: butterfly and pony).
    5. Use stitches and ribbons.
    6. Use a white background for the layout.

    The Prize = One winner for $20 to Kristin Aagard Designs store.

    The Deadline = April 30, 2017 11:59 pm PT

    Last Month’s Winner

    Please join me in congratulating Marilyn (mcurtt) and Jenn (dancingJaye) on winning last month’s Subject Matter Challenge!

    The Rules
    1. Have fun and play nice!
    2. Use only Kristin Aagard kits/bundles (active, freebie or retired are all okay); you may use other designer’s templates, fonts and/or actions.
    3. The layout you use must be new for this challenge and cannot be used for another store or designer challenge.
    4. If you post your layout in the TLP gallery please follow all gallery requirements.
    5. Link an image of your layout before the end of the challenge in this TLP Challenge Thread or in the Fan Club Event; please include your credits.
    6. The winner(s) will be chosen from all qualifying layouts and will be announced when the following month’s challenge goes live.
    7. Qualification of layouts and eligibility of participation solely determined by Kristin Aagard Designs.
    8. Questions? Just post your question in either this thread or club event; please tag my name to get my attention. I will get back to you as quickly as I can.
    If you are not a member yet, check out Kristin’s Facebook Fan Club

    We can’t wait to see what you create!

    I really was a copy cat - used the same kit (Ponies and Rainbows) with a few elements from Happy Girl. :)

    I bought this adorable kit, Happy Girl, so that I could enter this challenge! I LOVE it! It has so many cute elements and papers. I used 3 color photos, 3 pieces of the same tape, 2 fonts, 2 animals, stitches, ribbon, and a white background. Please let me know if I need to change anything!

    Interesting challenge. Discovered her wonderful blog and got lost for a time just enjoying the pages and pages of great layouts. Thank you!
    Now, this was intended to be an AJ page, based on the poem by rm drake. Just using 'normal' scrapping things to do it. I cannot decide if the grouping should be centered on the page and made larger (or smaller) overall, or if this way is better and says 'journey into the future' (whitespace).
    Also, I was a bit confused by the font rule so I may not qualify but hey, this was fun :)
