basicgrey sketch contest **contest closed**

So back in December, I filmed some how-to videos for my publisher, F+W. Fun stuff! But what I discovered was that as I stepped out each project to its various stages of completion, I only had to take a "few alphas from this" or a "little piece of that," leaving me with loads of leftover product, chiefly BasicGrey! For this contest, I've put together a motherload of goodies that might not have been used at all, or are missing just a piece or two ... and I'd like one of you to win! This goodie box features 12x12 papers and embellishments from Wander, Curio, Pyrus and Basics -- yummy stuff! I'll post a photograph shortly. :)

To enter, create a layout based on this sketch, in any size, any orientation, any way you want to interpret it and using any products you would like. Post a comment on this thread with a link to your entry. The contest starts today and ends at midnight, Sunday, February 27, 2011(MST). This contest is open to all scrappers everywhere!

Good luck everyone!

Becky

Wootwoot for a great sketch! I love Pagemaps but have never played along with your contests either. Since I had a snowed-in Saturday, it was the perfect time to play! Who doesn't love some {free} BG?

Thanks for the great inspiration! I look forward to see everyone's entry. Here's mine:
