I was on vacation in Florida last week and I just got back on Wednesday. It’s been SO hard for me to remember that today is Friday (and not Tuesday!). I almost forget this week’s Scraplift Conversion challenge! Eek!

Here is this week’s inspiring layout, by monica*k:

I am very excited to be taking over the reins of the monthly sketch challenge from Kim. I promise each month to bring you a great sketch from one of the talented DT members along with my layout based on that sketch!!

For my first month of this challenge I picked out a sketch that is pretty simple and can be done just as is or can be changed a little and dressed up. Now remember with these you don’t have to follow them exactly, just use them as a spring board to get your creative juices flowing.

Here is our March Sketch by Stinkerbelle:

The one thing that I love about this sketch is you could totally use different numbers of photos, two 4×6 photos, three 5×3 photos or one long panoramic photo.

This is my version of the sketch:

Now I challenge everyone to try this sketch, if I get at least 6 people to try it and they post it here I will put everyone who does a layout using the sketch’s name in a hat and have Evan pick out a winner for a little RAK from me on April 1st. Post your layout in the gallery and post a link here in the challenge thread to get your name put in the hat.

Mikki’s been hosting the Wednesday Swap Meet where all the girls on the Design Team have been playing around with each other’s beautiful layouts. The paper girls are making layouts from the digi girls and the digi girls are making layouts inspired by the paper girls! For example, check out this fabulous lift of Carrie’s layout by Brooke:
