Winner + Challenge + Giveaway



Another month has passed us by and so we find ourselves at the beginning of a new month which means a new challenge. But before we begin we need to announce the winner of last month's Summer Holiday themed challenge who will be taking home a wonderful i-top prize package valued at $75 or current collections of their choice to the same value. What a prize!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Rebecca Keppel


I'm sure you will all agree that Rebecca created a beautiful Summer themed layout using a variety of different collections from the Imaginisce range. And those two 'little cuties' look like they are having a fantastic time.
Rebecca could you please email us at contatct.imaginisce@gmail.com with your details and your selection of prize (either the i-top and accessory package or current collections to the same value).

New Monthly Challenge!
We have a wonderful new challenge for you this month with a sketch and a monochromatic theme.
The wonderful sketch has been designed by our very own DT member Aphra Bolyer
 and to add a little bit of fun we decided to challenge you all to using a monochromatic colour scheme.
Now, we won't be too strict so you can use different shades of the same colour and perhaps a bit of white or black here and there. Don't forget to use atleast 75% of Imaginisce products to be eligible for the prize.
You have until July 25 to upload your entry in the Link at the bottom of this post!
Goodluck and we can't wait to see your entries.
So, how did our design team go with the challenge?

    I'm so glad I stopped my current layout to read this. Sophias layout has given me the perfect idea to finish it off! Thank you! Looks like another great challenge too!

    I love that they sketch is only for one picture. I usually have a hard time just scrapping one picture, but this makes me want to try my hand a few one picture layouts.

    I always have trouble doing a one photo layout. My page always looks empty. Now I will scrap lift and give it a try. Thanks :)

    Wow, I loved this sketch and then the samples are great!! I love the panel on the right side with journalling at the top (does that make sense?!) I love the patterned paper that the DT chose to use for this panel in particular, especially Frances and Kim's although they are all beautifully coordinated. Thanks so much - this is a sketch I'll be using for sure!

    I would like to suggest along with a LO challenge you do a card challenge for all us Imaginisce fans who don't do scrapbooking, but do cards with your products - like me! I am always inspired by your DT and am a faithful user of your products.

    Congrats, Rebecca---cute summery layout!
    When I first saw this challenge, I thought: How can I do this when Imaginisce papers are so bold and brightly multicolored? Hah...the DTs proved me wrong with the beautiful and creative use of papers from a variety of collections. Great inspiration! Can't wait to get started on mine. I never do monochromatic pages, yet love the results when a challenge has me do one!

    I think each layout had just the right amount of embellies. And I like Aphra's Thankful layout with the use of the ribbon and all the polka dots...just perfect!

  46. Cynthia BaldwinJuly 5, 2011 at 3:19 PM

    I often don't make monochromatic layouts, simply because of the wide variety of colors, especially in Imaginisce's product lines.
    But your design team makes it look so easy! I especially love Melinda's "nature boy" layout of all browns. So rustic and natural! TFS, ladies - all awesome projects.

    these are all beautiful layouts.... have to dig through my stash and see if i have enough imaginisce stuff to play along, i love that sketch and really want to do it

    all the dt examples are so inspiring i am particularly inspired to pull out all my autumn photos and do one full of falling leaves...and im inspired by melinda's nature boy layout because i find it so hard to do mono brown without it looking drab, but melinda pulled it off to perfection, \

    I normally don't do monochromatic colors, but i might have to rethink that! I liked Linda's and Sophia's alot, but wow on Melinda's...it looks like she added a color treatment to her photo to help with the color scheme. I love all of your tools and am not suprise that you have given life to a well used tool..the glue gun. Now it can be taken to crops without the need to leave your stuff!
