Love seeing all the different split layouts this month.  Thanks to all that participated.  Being my birthday this month, I am picking two winners and they are:  #17 joannie and #45 GayleChurches.  Congrats ladies.

#17 joannie

#45 GayleChurches


For this challenge the background of your layout will be split in half.  It can be split horizontally, vertically or diagonally.   The twist this month is:  must have at least three enamel dots or rhinestones.   Bonus entries have been added in the rules below.

You may use either solid papers or patterned papers on both sides or a combo of half solid and half patterned paper.  You may also use photos or element cards on one of the halfs.  See sample below.

Layout sizes allowed for this challenge are:  12 x 12, 8 1/2 x 11 or 8 x 8 only. 

You may also make a 2 page layout, but it will only count as one entry unless both sides are split. (see below):

Here are some samples of different layouts that have split backgrounds.


Vertical split with paper

2,  Extra entry if you do a two page layout where both pages are split.  (see sample)


3.  Extra entry if you split the halfs (4 - 6 x 6) papers for your layout.  Sample below:
     With papers on a 1/8" red border
