Call it Clean Challenge
Are you ready for your next growth? Fasten your seat belts my friends...For June we are going to focus on "Graphic" layouts. After much controversy behind the scenes here at GS we will limit our definition to: Clean, crisp lines. Minimal drop shadows - modeling after magazine advertisement. Specifically we have excluded "grunge" in our definition.
This definition is by no means meant to be a universal standard in digital scrapbooking. It's just our working definition for here and now.
All of the team struggled greatly in this challenge - you will not be alone in your angst. But, and a big BUT, we're really going to make it worth your wile. Nancy Comelab, one of our latest sponsors, is giving away a SIX MONTH subscription to DAM. I about fell off my chair. Thanks Nancy!!
Also, Amy Wolff has designed some graphic brushes for you to use!
second link here only if you have trouble with the above link

To be eligible layouts must adhere to the definitions of the challenge. This month we will be asking you to consider the constructive critiques given and resubmit a revision. A winner will be chosen from the final compositions.
Ready? Set? Go!!

What a great challenge and awesome prize! It's too bad though that I can't seem to download the brushes because I can't seem to figure out which letters are attached to a cat!

Fantastic challenge! I've been stalking the blog waiting for the next one!
Great challenge! I'm going to have to participate in this one :)
This sounds like a wonderful challenge, hopefully I'll find time to scrap a page for this! The best part (IMHO) is the cc and a chance to do it again!
And thanks for the beautiful brushes (had to use your second link...I could figure out the security code!).
oooh, cool beans! I might just have to give this one a spin!! ... and thanks for those awesome circle brushes!
I wasn't sure if I was supposed to post this here or email it... here is mine. Ready for my CC. :)
Discovering the Beauty
What a wonderful challenge! I always love the look of clean designs but rarely attempt them. This is my first time here, I came via Scraletheels.com's blog. Where do we post to enter? Oh yes, the prize is incredible too!!! I love Nancy! :D
Ooops, I forgot! Duhhhh, lol. Thanks so much for the beautiful brushes too! :D
I'd love to participate in this challenge. But just a quick question for you!!! Where do I post my entry? as this is my first challenge with you guys. Thanks in advance
I'd love to participate in your challenge. But a quick question for you!! where do I post my finished LO? As this is my first time.
I have NEVER participated in ANYTHING before my layouts are not even in galleries, so this may not even qualify, but I just had to post my layout that I actually made just days before you announced this challange, and I think it fits. but if you don't post this I will understand completely!! But I would love some CC anyway. thanks

Great Challenge, I'd love to participate, but how do I upload LO, when completed and where!!!

Its 2:30 in the morning but I just had to finish this, lol. I really like what I came up with and can't wait to hear any constructive criticism you have. By the way, its designed so that you can turn it upside down or back again. The text will work either way too. :D

I'm not sure if I'm getting any of my posts through. I posted two times before but have yet to see them come up. Could you please let me know if I'm doing this right. :) I'm going to see if I can find an email address to send to too if I don't hear back from you today. :D
Thought I'd play along this time...fun challenge. Mine might be a bit grungy :)

Great challenge, can't wait to get started.
There is a problem with the rapidshare link though for Amy's freebie (thanks Amy!!) I cannot get the d/l to function.
