Thanks to everyone that participated.  Love seeing all your layouts.  

The winner this month is:  #40 - ajmaluck.  Congrats Julie.


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 banner or notched strips of any size.  (see sample #3).  They could also be a cluster in a corner of the layout.

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 and 8 1/2 x 11 only. 

You may also make a 2 page layout, but it will only count as one entry.  

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

Vertical split with paper


Vertical split with paper and photos (could be element cards also)

Diagonal split

Diagonal split with a slight border around the edge

Horizontal with paper



Rules
1.   Layouts only and must be new.  Sizes are 12 x 12 or 8 1/2 x 11 only.

2.   You must post your layout in this thread.  

3.   You may only combine with one monthly MB challenge that allows combining.  May also combine with the 100 papers and the prompt challenge.  May not combine with any of the summer MMC challenges.

4.   Multiple entries. 

5.   You must submit your entry by  Friday, July 31st at 11:59PM EST.


If you have any questions, either post your questions here in this thread or send me a pm.

One lucky winner of this Challenge will receive a $5 ACOT gift card from me.

Have fun and can't wait to see what you create.

Love this Sandi! The Half-it technique is really fun and adding 3 banners is doable. Thanks!

#1  July 2013, Lily's 1st Summer

She loved playing in the plastic  pool and splashing around with her daddy, Buckshot.
When she needed a rest, she would lay under the lounge I was sunbathing in!  Poor
Buckshot couldn't fit under there!  Meanwhile, Isabella spent her time in the house, 
peacefully and with the AC!

Background is made from scraps - I had 7" of the stars and 6" of the stripes and used the camera piece for more stability. @ banners top right corner and 1 at bottom left corner.
