There are no limits on use of products or manufacturers (but of course we do love to see scraplets on your pages)
One entry per person.

For Blind Challenges:

Layouts will be uploaded to the gallery/blog at the END OF THE MONTH.
Please do not upload your layouts to other competitions,personal blogs or galleries until the comp has FINISHED.
You may add extras to your layout but it must still be recognizable.
