Golden Ticket Challenge: October 2012

Welcome to the monthly Golden Ticket Challenge! If you’re not a Gold member already, here’s your chance to win your own “golden ticket,” a DST Gold membership. (A DST Gold Membership allows you access to 12 full scrapping kits created by our Featured Designers – a whole year of inspiring digital scrapbooking supplies.) Each month will bring a different challenge, and a random winner will be drawn from all layouts submitted that month.

Last month, the theme was All About Me, and we saw some truly unique and creative layouts from Lina_DS, mum2gnt, mayooo, mscrafts8, sleepingbeautie, and berniek in this thread. It can be hard to turn the focus on ourselves, but all of these scrappers did an outstanding job.

The Golden Ticket winner for September is sleepingbeautie with her layout, Go Ahead, Ask Me What I Did Today. Congratulations!

This month, I can’t get pumpkins out of my head. I see them everywhere, in real life and in a million adorable versions in digital scrapbook kits. So you guessed it, October’s challenge theme is pumpkins! Scrap your pumpkin patch pictures, pumpkin carving, fall festivals, your adorable little “pumpkins,” or branch out a bit and go for an autumn, Halloween, or Thanksgiving story. I want to see a pumpkin somewhere on your layout! Maybe you love pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks, or maybe you hate pumpkin pie. For October’s challenge, work a pumpkin onto your page in some way. Have fun with it!

I certainly found plenty of beautiful pumpkin inspiration in the galleries, on a variety of topics. I never realized these little (or not so little!) veggies were so versatile!

To be entered to win, post your layout in this month’s challenge thread by November 1, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. EST. One randomly selected winner will receive a free Gold Membership! Each month’s winner will be announced in the next month’s Golden Ticket Challenge post. Challenges are posted on the second Saturday of every month, with layouts due on the first Saturday of the month for consistency. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing your Pumpkin layouts!
