PaperCrafter's Corner Magazine Mondays--Week 161 Winner!

I was SUPER excited to learn today that I won a Magazine Mondays challenge at PaperCrafter's Corner!  I look at these challenges every week and always have good intentions about entering but somehow never seem to get anything done.  A couple of weeks ago, this was the inspiration piece from PaperCrafter's Corner:

As soon as I saw this, I knew that I HAD to scrap a photo from my Munich trip in 2005.  I used this sketch, which was the September Sketch Challenge for Scrappin' 'n' Chattin':

My take on the sketch:

You can read more about my layout here.  I'm super excited to get my prize in the mail to see what I won.  Stay tuned!!!  My layout was also featured on their Pinterest page here.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Munich

When I saw the Magazine Mondays Challenge for Week 161 at PaperCrafter's Corner, I knew I HAD to enter!  Here's the inspiration for the challenge:

I used this sketch, which is the September Sketch Challenge in the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin':

I think the sketch is originally from PageMaps, but it's one I've had saved for quite a while.  Here's my take on the sketch and entry for the challenge:

 

I had the opportunity to visit Munich--just overnight--in 2005, so I knew I had the perfect picture for this challenge.
