Hello everyone!! Joannie has graciously passed the reigns to me for this monthly challenge so I hope I do it justice!
Here are the details of the challenge:
* For Paper or Digi & Hybrid scrappers. Layouts only...NO cards please
* Due Date: Last day of MAY, 11:59 pm EST
* Multiple entries are allowed...and encouraged!

* There will be a random drawing from all participants who have completed the challenge for a $5 ACOT GIFT CERTICATE
* You must use at least 5 of the 10 elements on your layout. When you post your layout, please tell us what elements you used.
* Combining with other challenges is allowed; however, THIS CHALLENGE MAY NOT BE COMBINED WITH OTHER NSD CHALLENGES OR BECKY FLECK SKETCH CHALLENGES
* Have fun and post your projects in this thread.

Since this is my first month, I wanted to add a theme to the list. Let's THINK SPRING!!
* flowers (these can be stamped or regular flowers...flowers on patterned paper DO NOT count)
* ribbon/twine
* a punch (can be a border punch, shape punch, etc. - you decide)
* ink (alcohol, cats eye, etc.)
* transparency - (These used to be so popular. You can use a whole page or just a little one. The store has some fun ones that cover your photo as well)
* plain colored cardstock (cause we all need a freebie!)
* floral patterned paper
* die cut (can be pre-purchased, Cricut, etc.)
* buttons
* stamps
BONUS: You can get bonus points for using all 10 elements on a page. You can ALSO get a bonus if your layout has a SPRING theme.
Winners will be chosen from random.org.
I'll post an example later.
