Wrap it Up!

Welcome to my second birthday bash challenge!  I am so happy you are celebrating with me today! One of my favorite parts of birthdays is not only getting gifts but giving them as well!  I love seeing the look on my loved one's face as they open that gift I selected just for them and loving wrapped up in beautiful paper tied with a lovely bow or ribbon!  So today I am challenging you to "WRAP IT UP" and use 2 different washi tapes on your layout or card!  Here is my example:
Supplies used: Patterned Paper: Echo Park; background: Elle's Studio; washi: My Mind's
Eye, Queen & Co, Paper Studio; letter stickers: Doodlebug (orange) & Fancy Pants (small);
stickers: Echo Park; die cut sun: Pink Paislee; jewels: Queen & Co; wood veneers: Studio
Calico; ink: chalk ink by Quick Quotes.

I loved this picture of my son and nephew trying to carry this big raft up to the top of a waterslide way back in 2009! My nephew is so small you can barely see him inside of the raft!  He is much bigger now!  I loved this quote by Helen Keller...I ran out of stickers so I could give her credit for the quote, but I plan to try and stamp it under there at a later date (my black ink pad is dry!). I was inspired to add a quote to my layout by a wonderful challenge hosted by Daiva at Inspired to Scrap! I love using quotes on my layouts! For my washi tape I used strips of washi along the right side and then again in the upper left corner to balance out my design.  I hope you will play along with me for a chance to win yourself two rolls of washi tape!  I have two rolls of washi tape for one lucky winner

PLUS if I get more then 15 participants I will draw two more names for a chance to win a washi tape sampler pack of 18 inches of four of the washi tapes I used on this layout!!!! Plus how about a SIDE contest, whoever uses the most washi tape will get a sampler pack as well!!!  Let's see how many different tapes you can get on one card or layout, I used 6 can you beat that?
Here are the details of how to play along
1) Layout or card must be new as of May 21st (no back linking)
2) You must use TWO different washi tapes on your project in some way shape or form...as an border, strip or embellishment you punch or make into a flower...anything goes!
3) You must be a follower of my blog and the Sketch N Scrap blog
4) You must post a link back to my blog
5) You may combine this challenge with a challenge from another site but not with another of my birthday bash challenges
6) Only US participants are eligible to win the prize due to high cost of shipping internationally, but you are still welcome to play along with us so we can admire your lovely work!
7) Please only link up with the direct link to your entry or else I will not consider you for the prize draw.
8) Deadline to enter is June 15th at midnight CST
If you have any questions pleas feel to email me or leave a comment!  Have fun and I can't wait to see what you create!

  8. Love this washi challenge. You are too fun!!! Just wondering, you said we could enter other challenges with our layouts (just not your other BD challenge), but can we use the same layout with the other DT's BD challenges?

  15. When I try to enter, it says I have a back link? I submitted it and it says asking for owner approval. Your challenge was May 21 and I did it and created my post on my blog on May 23. Not sure what it is doing. Here is the link.
