*winners* April Double Page Challenge
Wow! There were 48 fabulous entries this month! Random.org picked #35 and #12. The winners are SandyJay and Deanna13. Congratulations! I will send the GCs when I return from my trip. Thanks for your patience.
Happy April Fool's Day!
Fool me once, fool me twice...
This month you have an opportunity to enter this challenge twice - with 2 different sketches!
The first is from an old blog called Nuts About Sketches. I think the designer Shawn Lawr is still active - maybe somewhere on social media? I've been informed that she designs for Sketches in Thyme! But I still keep going back to this blog in search of sketches... so many 2-pagers and I find it particularly useful that I can search based on number of photos I want to use.
(Sorry the image is so small, but that's the size it is on the blog)
My example:
And the second sketch is from PageMaps, the 4/2023 double:
My example:
Rules:
1. Must be a 2-page layout (paper or digital).
2. Does not have to follow the sketch exactly, but I should be able to see the inspiration. But go ahead, make it your own!
3. All submissions must be added to this thread.
4. This month you can enter twice, but only ONE LAYOUT PER SKETCH.
5. Can be combined with one other challenge that allows it.
6. Due 4/30/2024, but we're all in different time zones - just get it in by 8am EST on May 1.
8. I will choose TWO random winners for a $10 GC to ACOT.

Re: April Double Page Challenge
I used to do only two-page layouts. But as I get older, I don't have as many photos to put one one/two pages. Bummer because they are fabulous sketches.
Re: April Double Page Challenge
I usually do one pagers, but every now and then need a 2 pager. These are fabulous.

fantastic choices!

Re: April Double Page Challenge
These are great! I have so many events to scrapbook with multiple photos and this challenge really helps cut down on the number of pages I create…by binders are bulging and I’m trying to make an effort to fit more photos in each page I create from now on!
Re: April Double Page Challenge
Thanks for participating in my challenges. As I said when I started, I decided to host this to make sure that I get at least one 2-page layout done for myself each month. Bottom line, I take too many photos, then I'm really bad about leaving anything out of my layouts. Sometimes I'm happy if I only have a couple pictures from an event, lol.

Re: April Double Page Challenge
Awesome inspiration! I need motivation to get more doubles done!
also, Shawn does still design sketches! For sure, for Sketches in Thyme in Facebook. I’m on the team as well so can confirm she’s still a sketch artist!

Re: April Double Page Challenge
I very rarely do a double page lo, but here it is. I used the 2nd sketch for my inspiration. Combined with 3 In A Row.
