And now is the moment you've all been waiting for! Time to announce the FINALISTS from our Elizabeth Park Sketch Challenge!
Thanks to everyone who participated and sent in some absoultely amazing layouts. It's always so hard to select the winners, but these three women really ROCKED the sketch.
So here they are, in no particular order:
"A Day to Enjoy" by Kate Vickers:
"Full of Possibility" by Katrina Hunt:
And "Those Days of Being 4" by Aimee Kidd:
And the voting begins NOW!!! (And ends Friday, April 22. We'll post the grand prize winner next Saturday!)
Remember, all of these awesome finalists will win a $25 prize pack from Little Yellow Bicycle. BUT, the finalist who receives the MOST votes will win a $50 prize pack! Vote either by leaving a comment here on the blog, or by posting one under your favorite on our Facebook page. Please vote only ONCE!!!
And finally, an Honorable Mention shout out to Gabriela Davolt, our youngest entrant in the sketch challenge, who sent us this awesome layout:
And here is Gabriela herself with her layout. What a cutie!
Keep up the awesome work Gabriela! And because I think you are such a GROOVY scrappy girl, I am going to send YOU a prize pack from our groovy awesome Free Spirit collection! Thanks for sending in your work! I also want to compliment Gabriela's mom Lisa for supporting Gabriela's dreams. I always get a little sad when I hear moms say they won't let their kids get their hands on their precious scrap stash - and then in the same breath acknowledge that they have more stuff than they'll ever use. What a joy it is to let the kids create with the good stuff rather than our cast offs and scraps! In many ways I think kids are more creative than we'll ever be!
{Winners please send your mailing info to "[email protected]" so we can send the prizes next week!}
Thanks for sharing everyone!
My fave is Kate Vickers' "A Day to Enjoy". It's colourful and dynamic.

My vote is for Aimee Kidd's LO! I love the doublematted pics and the stitched butterfly trail!
Congratulations to Gabriela as well! I love to see children encouraged creatively, before they start judging themselves--I think that is why their stuff is often so good! They don't second guess they go with what they love!
