Once Upon a Sketch & Scrap for help!

Hi everyone! Today I have two wonderful challenges that I would like to share.  Scrap for help and Once Upon a Sketch.

Scrap for help Challenge!
Cynthia, the very sweet gal behind Scrap for help extended me an invitation to design for her wonderful site, what a honor! I can not think of anything more beautiful...scrapping for a cause and helping the invironment at the same time! The challenge is to use recycled material that the guest designer used and that month's special criteria. This month, the criteria is to scrap something about Spring and to use netting that you'd find  wrapped around fruit. Here's what I came up with.


Prizes

Wonderful chipboard from Imaginarium Designs


Are you ready to scrap for a cause?
 Stop by here to see what the guest designer and other DT members have come up with!


Once Upon A Sketch Challenge!
The Sept. 1st. challenge is live...time to play!  The criteria for this challenge is to follow the sketch, by Nadia, the lovely creator/owner, of this wonderful site and add the following journaling criteria : A memorable year - Your title must be a year, and you must journal at least 2 lines on why this year is memorable for you. Examples: the year you got married, the year you graduated, the year you moved to a new house/country, the year you started a new job, the year your child was born, the year you lost someone dear. 

On this lo, I used the fabulous chipboard from Imaginarium Designs...I just love that stuff!

The sketch

    Both pages looks fantastic, love the bright yellow and fresh feeling in the first one, and the gentle and soft feeling in the last one.
    So happy for you to get great GDT/DT spots at Pixie and SHF.

I too have been struggling with my cough - chronic bronchitis now & really bad, and my hubby was away for 2 weeks, teenagers were getting up to mischief & now I have my daughter home from uni for a week! You are doing so well - rocking all the challenges!!
