MIA CASTRILLO!!!!
All of you gave Val a hard time in choosing the winner!!! Here’s what Val had to say about Mia’s layout.
“WINNER: MIA CASTRILLO
What caught my eye about Mia’s layout are her great color choices and how they really compliment and set the stage to focus on her animated pictures.
Her flower accents are perfect — not too little, not too much. Great job on a superb page, Mia!”
I did not mention that there will be a runner up. 
Val also chose one. Congratulations to MARY ANN POSADA!!! Here’s her winning layout.
Val said, “I felt that I have to mention this layout as well. It is full of charm! The colors caught my eye and I like that she rotated the sketch and gave it a different spin.
Nice work, Mary Ann!”
To both winners, congratulations!!! Will be sending your prizes soon.
Please watch out for the next MLA blog challenge. I’m thinking of something different this time… something that I haven’t done myself!!! Watch out for further announcements!!!
Happy weekend everyone and thanks again to all the participants. I hope to see all of you again for future challenges of MLA!!!
Hi everyone!!! Thanks to all of you who took time to come up with fabulous layouts based on Val’s sketch. She is now taking a look at your works of art (she needs time to go through all entries to appreciate all the details you put into it). I will announce the lucky winner as soon as I hear from Val. By the way, an extra prize will be given to the person who submitted first. Will announce both winners soon!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU and thanks again for joining!!!!
You can see the entries in greater detail by clicking the page layouts you see in my sidebar which will take you to my Flickr gallery.
Hi ladies! This follow-up post has been L-O-N-G overdue. My heartfelt thanks to my ever-patient and oh-so-helpful friend, Mabelle, who sent me a step by step tutorial on how to post on this blog. Yup! This is my first ever blog post!! This is all so new to me! Hopefully in time, I’ll get more comfortable with this software so that I can regularly update all of you with the latest happenings in MLA.
Are you ready for the first MLA blog challenge? I am thrilled that Valerie Salmon has graciously agreed to share one of her sketches as basis of your next challenge. Using MLA’s papers and embellishments, create a layout based on Val’s Sketch no. 49 as seen below:
Terms of Use for Val’s Sketches: Valerie’s sketches are for personal use only and not for the purpose of publication submissions, contest entries, design team projects, class projects, and design templates. Visit Got Sketch. Click here.
Deadline for submission will be on August 8, 2008 at 11:59pm. Upload your layouts (you can submit more than one entry) in the MLA gallery under MLA Blog challenge no. 1. Since this is the first blog challenge, the lucky winner will receive a goodie bag filled with the following items: Inque Botique stamps, inks, embossing pen and other wonderful scrapbooking goodies. This challenge is limited to Philippine residents only. Remember to use MLA materials to avoid disqualification.
Hope to see your wonderful creations soon!
Cheers!
