August 29th, 2010 Britanee No comments

Britanee here stopping by to remind you about this month’s digital scrap challenge!  All you have to do is pick up August’s Template, use it to create a layout OR hybrid project (oh, and it’s not even required to use Suzy’s designs!), and leave a comment on that post with a link to your layout.

The challenge ends 8/31 at 11:59 pm Eastern. You’ll receive a 30% off coupon to SuzyQ Scraps store just for playing and one lucky winner will receive a $10 coupon!

Here’s what some of the QTs have done with it-
