July 10th Challenge - Page Kits / State Shapes

Join us all month long in July as we take a cross-country drive from Pennsylvania to California. Not literally, :lol: but the idea is still the same.

Image

Challenges will be based on the road trip, the destinations, and possibly even a challenge or two based on the song lyrics made famous by the song writer Bobby Troup in 1946.

So join us as we Get Our Kicks on Route 66.

Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

*Winner will be chosen via Random.Org.

This layout was a kit made by a friend and very talented scrapbooker using a Paige Evans collection. If I could have seen the future I would have just bought kits from the beginning, this way I would get paper and coordinating embellishments and wouldn’t buy so many extras that would sit in my stash for years.. If you have never bought a kit I recommend it, I love making my own and it's great, but buying one that has instructions takes out so much guesswork. You just get to change the embellishments or add mixed media, and I feel like it helps stretch me because they are often a different style than I would normally do.

I challenge you to use a kit for your layout this month. Whether it be a collection kit, a kit made by someone or a kit made by you. I also want to see either a state name in your title or an image of a state / states on your layout. Can't wait to see what you create!

It's a great example! I'll have to think on this one.

Here's mine! I used a kit of Echo Park 'Getaway' and went with the city name. :)

I used a ScrapRoom kit (and lifted a page from the Scrap Our Stash blog to boot) and included a cut file of the shape of California. Thanks for the inspiration! I like the pop of yellow I was able to add with the shape.
