june flashback: ohana

Hi there folks, it's time to Flashback yet again, to a fun kit from my past! And this month, we're flashing back to . . . "OHANA"!



During the month of June, "Ohana" and "Ohana: Bonus Alpha" will both be 25% off!

And, you can still grab that original Add-On Freebie if you don't already have it:


[DOWNLOAD HERE]

Check out the new pages the Britt Girls and I have created using "Ohana".




Looking at all those fun layouts just had to get you fired up to scrap with Ohana, right? Well, then let's kick off the month's Flashback Challenge!

'

Create a layout using "Ohana" and/or "Ohana: Bonus Alpha" before June 30th, and post it in the Britt-ish Designs Challenge Gallery. Then come back to this post and paste a link to your layout in the comments. At the end of the month I'll do a random drawing for 1 winner of a $15 Gift Certificate to my shop. No matter when you purchased "Ohana" - today, last week or last year - just use it to create a layout and enter it to win!!

*IMPORTANT NOTE* When you want to link to one of your pages in the Britt-ish Designs Gallery, you need to click on this little icon to make sure that "Display File Information" is on.



Then, below your credits, you'll see the File Information. Use this URL when linking up your page.



You can't just copy and paste the URL that's at the top of your browser window! It won't work.

One more note. I know some people have had trouble in the past with the gallery. But all problems were solved by simply trying another browser. My gallery and Internet Explorer don't get along. So, if you're having trouble seeing where to Register, Log In, Upload, or Comment - just try using a different browser (like Firefox, for example) and you shouldn't have any trouble.

And of course, I'm sure you're all curious to see who is the winner of last month's Flashback Challenge . . . our lucky randomly drawn layout was:

Monica (aka Umyesh)'s "Grand" layout.


Can you believe she was able to scrap a layout about grandparents using a Star Wars kit! HAHA!! Good on ya, Monica! I'll be emailing you a gift certificate for $15 today.

Hope you all have a happy weekend with your "Ohana".
