hmmm… what?
So, last month I purchased and downloaded my first kit from Songbird Avenue, right? Well, I also participated in a little promotion that got me a giftcard that I promptly used to download this month’s kit, Leap of Faith.
No surprise, it’s a great kit! I’ve already put it to use in some of my “free” time yesterday.
However, it all goes to charity, right? So, I’d have bought the kit anyway. But since I got mine free, I want to share. So, during this month, you can join my first-ever contest here at spoken-for.org to win one of three gift certificates to songbirdavenue.com. Of course, if this kit doesn’t quite do it for you, you can use the certificate for next month, or August, if you like.
So, how to enter?
The way to win is to, of course, design a layout! Download my first-ever freebie template, Spring Fling, and do up a layout using any papers, elements, etc., you want to. Post it somewhere on the ‘net, and leave a comment here with the link to your layout.
When the deadline rolls around, three judges will each be choosing their favorite layout as a winner. Judges to be announced. :)
The entry deadline is June 25th, 2008, that’s 3 weeks from today so even if you’ve never done this before, you have plenty of time to get started!
I will then be posting the winners and sending out the gift certificates on Friday the 27th, so you’ll still have at least 3 days to get June’s kit if you so desire.
Just for fun, here’s a layout I did with the template that comes in the kit (oh, yes, a template, too!) using the kit:

I’m going to try and do another one tonight.
Get started!!
I'm Valerie, late 20's, from Missouri. I'm married... with children: a young boy and a baby girl. I enjoy many things including photography, candle making, videography, history, and mythology. Baby Girl was born 11 weeks early after my water was broken for 8 weeks - she's my little miracle - so you're bound to hear a lot about her progress here. I am also a second generation homeschooler, that's bound to come up as well.

This is my second attempt at digital scarpbooking ever, but I figured I enter in the contest anyhow ;) I have had so much fun creating a layout with Pirate MT, with your template, and that is the main thing for me.
Here is my take on the contest:
