This week's Featured Designer Challenge is brought to you Amanda of Manda Lane Scraps & will run from Monday, October 24 to Sunday, October 30. Here's some fun information about Amanda & a preview of the participation prize you'll get if you post a layout by next Sunday night. But wait, there's more! Everyone who participates will be entered into a drawing to win a $5.00 to Amanda's store, if you use a Manda Lane Scraps template & a Manda Lane Scraps kit on your layout you'll get two entries! Amanda has put her whole store on sale for 50% off until Sunday so if you don't have any of her fabulous kits yet, now you've got a great excuse to pick one up!
To complete this challenge, you simply need to create a layout using any current kits that are for sale in Amanda's store [retired kits will not count]. Please refrain from combining kits/parts from other designers for this challenge, but if you would like to use more than one kit by Amanda on your layout that would be fine. Hurry & get those layouts done to earn the participation prize!
The Fine Print: You'll earn points on almost all of the challenges & when you reach 500 points, you'll receive a $5.00 gift card to the Stuff to Scrap store to purchase anything that catches your fancy. Points roll over from month to month & do not expire! Please remember that to earn any extra bonus points, you must state in your challenge post that you've used 90% or more current STS products or you will not earn the bonus points. There is no double dipping with challenges, i.e. you cannot use a layout made for a speed scrap for one of the monthly challenges or use one layout for two challenges. The only exception is a double page layout where each side is for a different challenge. The use of quick pages for challenge layouts are not allowed, all layouts must be made from scratch or with a template. You are most welcome to make a post in the October Challenge Round-up thread to keep track of all the challenges & points you've earned. As always, any layouts featured in this post are linked to the gallery for easy love leaving.
