I can't believe we're already more than a week into September!! Where does the time go? I'm so sorry we're getting such a late start this month! I do have four fun templates / sketches for you to play with and a FAB new sponsor, but to keep you all from rebelling too much (hee hee), I'm only going to make you complete 3 of the 4 layouts (you pick which 3 templates you want to work with) to be eligible for the September Grand Prize!! Is that good enough to earn your forgiveness for my tardiness??
Our September sponsor is one of my favorite digital designers -
Kristin Cronin-Barrow!! Be sure to head on over and check out her store at Sweet Shoppe Designs! There is SO MUCH yummy goodness and one of our lucky participants who completes 3 of the 4 layouts this month will win a $30 gift certificate to Kristin's Store!! Oh, and EVERYONE who completes 3 layouts before the end of the month will receive a 30% off coupon to Kristin's store!!
Below is a look at the September templates. I designed these sketches myself, but as usual I was inspired by layouts I've seen on various blogs and online galleries. This month, I was specifically inspired by fellow Sweet Shoppe Sugar Babe
Laurie, who has a BEAUTIFUL gallery (click on her name to check out Laurie's gallery over at the Sweet Shoppe) and used a few of her layouts as bases for the templates. I'll be sharing those layouts with you later this month as samples, so be on the lookout!! As always, feel free to print and share the sketches and alter them as you'd like, but they are for personal use only (i.e. no commercial use).

If you're a digi scrapper and prefer to work with a layered template, you can
download the layered templates absolutely FREE here:
scrappy0910.zipOr, if you're a paper scrapper and prefer to just use the sketches as a guideline, I've created a printable pdf file which you can download here:
Scrappy Printout.pdfWhen uploading your sketches to the gallery, please use the tag (all lower case) "scrappy0910" on ALL 4 of your layouts along with the individual tags as indicated above (scrappy0910a, scrappy0910b, scrappy0910c, and scrappy0910d respectively). This is very important.
I'm going to go ahead and share my first sample layout with you using the scrappy 0910a sketch:

So there you have it!
Once you've completed 3 of the 4 layouts, to be entered in the contest and to be sure you receive your 30% off coupon code at the end of the month, post links to all 3 of your layouts in the
September 2010 Completion Thread.
Good luck and Happy Scrapping!!
