May-Berry

Okay, okay I know I've been getting a little corny with my post titles lately, but I worked at a church for 11 years with the Student Ministry and we had to have titles for EVERYTHING!!  So it has been ingrained in me to come up with funny, fitting, or corny titles to fit the occasion!!  :)  And just in case you missed it...today is May 1...hence the "May" in my post title, and I am sharing a layout today from our local Straw"berry" festival for this month's Sketch It Out Challenge, that I host at Club CK!!

I have to say it is SO difficult waiting a full month to do the new sketch reveal!!  :)  I am patience challenged, so halfway through the month, I am ready to post the one for next month.  So without further ado...here is the Sketch and my layout for this month's challenge:





I used Bella Blvd.'s new Sunshine & Happiness line on this layout, and let me just tell you, it makes me happy!!  I always love the fun, whimsical style Stephanie Hunt designs into her collections.  And the patterns and colors in this line are right up my alley!

Now, if you've been playing along for the past two months, you are probably wondering what the twist will be this month??!!  Well for May, it's going to be an oldie, but a goodie!  Your TWIST for the month of May, is to use stitching.  You can use machine stitching, hand stitching, or faux stitching!  And remember, the twist is just an added bonus.  If you can't work it in or just forget (like I sometimes do), it's not a big deal.  Using the sketch, is the most important part of the challenge.

Remember, to be entered in for the RAK at the end of the month, you must post your layout in the May Sketch It Out thread at Club CK, in the Creative Challenges Forum**The thread will be up late morning tomorrow at Club CK, because my Blog post is set to auto-post.** 

So make sure you have fun with the sketch and you will have until May 31, to add your layout in the May Sketch It Out thread at Club CK.
