The May/June Design Challenge is already up and running; come join us here!

Use this thread to list the items you plan to contribute to the challenge; be as descriptive as you feel necessary.
Please put comments, questions, and chit-chat in the original DC2 thread here.

As you are planning your contribution, please look through the things others are making so the kit doesn't have a lot of duplicate items. We want this kit to have tons of variety! Try something new, learn a new technique, and stretch your boundaries a little! Check out this thread for resources, tutorials, tips, and tricks for designers.

We would like to include two templates in this kit. A PhotoShop template with at least 25 layers will fulfill the minimum submission requirement (more information will be sent to the people who sign up to create the templates). The first two people to send me a PM indicating a desire to create a template for this month’s challenge will be listed below. A backup person will also be listed in the event that one of the people creating the two templates is unable to complete it. If not used, the backup person will be offered a template slot for the following month.

Template 1: Gwendlite (Michelle)
Template 2: afirmbeliever (Kelly)
Backup: ShabbyAbby (Abby)

This is the thread that will be used when we reveal the completed kit.

Deadline - Friday, April 27 (by 11:59pm CST)

I'm planning to do some clusters using brushes, etc. and maybe some frames.

Think I'm going to make an other minikit with papers, elements and an alpha. It's going to be spring/princess/general-use-like.
Love those colors, voted for them myself! ;-)

I will do a F&GF themed mini.

I'm doing a template (as noted)

Love the colors. I can't wait to the end of the month. Super fun and versatile. Yeah!

Let's get :scrapbooking:

Doing the template (and since I'm on vacation for a chunk of the month, I may leave it at that. If I have time, I may try to come up with something. I'll at least do a freebie). Love these designer challenges.

I started making some Gems when I saw this palette looked to be the most likely winner!

Not sure what else I will do as of yet since I have a super busy weekend coming up with my Birthday and the huge party I am having on Sat. for all the kids at the kid gym with bounce houses, trampolines, etc. Then on Easter we have much festivities planned with a huge egg hunt at my house to top it all off! I am tired already just thinking of it all!

I love this palette... Very pretty pinks and purple!! Gonna have to have some girly fun with this one ;)
