The deadline: Email your project, first and last name to amber@mymindseye.com (with Blog Challenge 16 as your subject) or add a link in a comment on this post by Thursday, October 21, 2010 (midnight, MST).

The PRIZE: One winner will be featured in a blog post and receive three ENTIRE collections of their choice!  We will also award an honorable mention winner with one collection of their choice!

As always, EVERYONE is a winner!  We love seeing what you create for our challenge and want to thank everyone who will participate.  Every entry will go in a photo album here on the blog.  By submitting, you are giving My Mind’s Eye permission to include your entry.

We hope you enjoy this month’s oh-so-fabulous samples:

 

Suzanne Sergi: Oct. 31

Featured Collection: Haunted

This was one of my favorites Halloween snapshots from last year. I love circles, and this sketch was brilliant. the circles created so much movement on this page, but kept the focus on my snapshot. My sweet daughter could not decide between a witch, or a fairy. So she opted to add wings to her costume! She is a pretty fairy witch!

 

Trisha Ladouceur: Giving Thanks

 

Featured Collection: Lost & Found – Union Square

A quick tip from Trisha: “Use your craft knife to cut around the paper designs... adding another layer of dimension.”

 

We are excited to see your entry!

Really, this challenge was amazing! I'm not using circles on my layouts that often, so this was the perfect chance to incorporate some on my layout. I used the gorgeous Lost & Found Union Square line to make this layout. Thanks for the great challenge and inspiration!

I know I'm VERY late, but I had the layout waiting, waiting, and waiting some more on my desk for me to finish it! After my crazy chaotic life slowed down a little, I did finish it, I love it, and I wanted to post it anyway!! Thanks for a great sketch and challenge!!
