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!

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.

The challenge closes Friday, June 20th. The revisions will be due Wednesday, June 25th.

Ready? Set? Go!!

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.

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!).
