Scrapdango DT Call

I've found a new cool scrapping site that I've recently started hanging out at. It's called--Scrapdango! They have 2 amazing kits each month--which is very cool. They are currently holding a Design Team call for 3 new design team members. Instead of just sending in a few layout examples, they are holding a 4 week contest/challenge. In the end, the current design team members will choose the winners. I thought it might be fun to play along. More than anything it's a fun little challenge for the next month. There is a weekly challenge and a bonus challenge that you must complete each week.

Week 1 Challenge- Create a ONE page 12 x 12 layout with the following:
·Must use the colors green, orange, & violet. Any shades or hues of these colors are allowed. All 3 of those colors must be used, but other colors may be used also.
·Must use a minimum of 5 different papers – patterned and/or cardstock.
·Must use scallops.
·Must use a minimum of 7 blossoms.
·Must use the quote: “If there’s anything half so much fun as being alive, I’d like to know what it is!” R. Beuchner
·Must use a minimum of 2 photos.
·Must include journaling, either hidden or visible. Please include the journaling in your description when uploading.
