Once Upon A Sketch Has a new Reveal & Challenge Up!!



You can look here  to see the winners of last fortnight's challenge.
We are trying hard at Once Upon a Sketch to give you a really speedy turnaround on "Who Won What" because we know that you are all waiting with baited breath for the outcome & we don't want to keep you waiting!  The winning layout has to be seen to be believed.  It's a design masterpiece.  
Absolutely breathtakingly stunning - truly - I am actually at a loss for words as to how to describe it!  
Right down to the very last paint splatter it is pure perfection.  

You can look here to see the Reveal for the NEW CHALLENGE.

                                  Welcome to our next challenge for the month of September! I am so excited to post this challenge as my super AWESOME Design Team have been thinking of ways to throw some twists in how we pick the winner. We thought it would be fun for you all out there to pick the winner! This challenge will end on the 29th of September , which is 2 weeks from today and you will all have a chance to vote for the winner and Top 5 projects for one whole day on the 30th of September before the new challenge is posted on the 1st of October.

The catch here is that everyone can only vote 1 time, but of course you can get everyone you know to vote for you! As it gets closer to the day I will remind you all, and we just cannot wait to see who you will pick!



Journalling Criteria: This time you need to journal 2 lines directly on your photo. 
You can write on your photo, you can print your writing on your photo,
