Welcome to Kristin Aagard Designs SURPRISE! Challenge

On the first Sunday of the month Kristin hosts a new challenge, the challenge type changes 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!)

This month's challenge is one of my favorite techniques (as you can tell as I have used color blocking on my last three challenge layouts!) Let’s get started...

April 2016

The Challenge = Technique / Color Blocking
- create a layout where you use two or more solid papers to create two or more color block paper(s)/mat(s)/element(s)
- you do not need to use a template (but it might help)

The Prize = Two winners at $10 each to Kristin Aagard Designs store

The Deadline = April 30, 2016 11:59 pm MT

Sample Layouts

Using Dough, this layout has multiple small
color block squares (red/yellow, green/red, purple/green, blue/orange):


Using Artsy, this layout has a color block journal card (orange/blue)
and a color block paper strip at top (blue/green):


Using Nerd Alert and Over the Moon, this layout has a
color block mat (orange/yellow/blue) behind the journaling:

removed my layout as I don't think I did it right, but can't seem to figure out how to delete my post completely. If I have time I'll try a different layout later!
