Happy Canada Day & New sketch challenge!

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian friends! Hope you have a fabulous day! We're planning on doing a few things to celebrate the day (even though it's wet) and spend time with family as well.

I seriously cannot believe how fast June zipped by!!! Maybe it's because it was so crammed full of school and year activities. Plus we really haven't been having summer -like weather around here! Hopefully things will get better and we can feel like we're having summer.

Well, it's that time of the month again. Imaginisce has their monthly sketch contest happening and I hope you're able to play along. This one is actually a card sketch by Tammy Wark.
I was going to create a card and then changed my mind and went with a layout instead.
Here's my take on the sketch and as you can see I couldn't resist using the newest release! I also used the i-rock tool to add some studs to the balloons.

So do you wanna win a prize?
Well, then the first thing you need to do is leave me a comment here on my blog then hop on over to the Imaginisce blog. where you will find a list of the design team members blogs to visit & comment on.

You can also have another chance to win a prize by taking part in the sketch challenge this month. Read more about that on the Imaginisce blog .

Also we've got some exciting stuff happening at Imaginisce next week. The design team has been hard at work with the new (and amazing!!!) Birthday Bash collection. Oh! I just adore this line. So we're having a Birthday Bash Release Party and giving away boxes of goodies!!! Imaginisce is even going to be giving away some of the new i-rock tools!!! Yeah!!
