July 2008 Designer Element Challenge

[Kathryn]

Hi! How excited I am to be your hostess this month for the designer elements challenge! I chose one of my favorite summer kits, Watermelon Kisses (http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_186&products_id=7183), and I've made a coordinating mini for you! I've put the kit on sale for the month especially for this challenge--only $3 AND my Watermelon Kisses ~ Fanciful Corners & More (http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_186&products_id=7331) is ALSO 50% off!! How cool it would be to have the full kit AND all the matching extras!

Run over to the bonus gallery and snag my Watermelon Kisses Freebie! (http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/showphoto.php/photo/70397) You can use any of these elements along with this challenge mini to complete your challenge, so let's fill the gallery with cute, fun layouts!

Here's how this challenge works: Post in this thread that you would like to participate, and I will send you the link to the challenge mini. Use the challenge mini to create a layout, upload to the DE Gallery (http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/showgallery.php/cat/597), then post here with your layout link. I'll check the thread every few days and send your posting bonus (an awesome World Traveler Mini Kit designed by Dea Spina ~ thank you, Dea!) to you through a Private Message. You might even find an extra surprise inside!

Thanks

[Enchantedcropper]

Kathryn,

If I can still participate I'd like to. I did three challenges today and i'm starting to get the hang of it. I still have two more days, who knows how many more I could do. So if it's not too late, can you send me the mini kit to use for this. I catch the Watermelon freebie.

thank you!

Barbara ~ Havin Digi fun now! :mrgreen:

[michael kane]

[grannymike]

This morning I realized it is July 31, and I had signed up for three July challenges. I seem to always wait until almost the last minute, but I think this really qualifies as the last minute, especially since I have one last challenge to do and a rather otherwise busy evening. My computer is trying to "die" on me, so I''ve been spending most of my computer backing up. I thought this little mini kit was so happy looking, so I used it for some snapshots of my newest grandbaby born April 23. Thank you for this cute kit and for the posting bonus. Sorry it is so late...

I'm sending out links now. I'll continue to check this for a day or two, so if you haven't yet posted your layout, please do. We'd love to see it, and I'd like to make sure to get your bonus to you!

Thanks so much for letting me bring you the Designer Elements Challenge this month!
