I Challenge You & a Giveaway!

When I was printing out pictures yesterday to scrap with, I noticed that my color was a bit off.   If you've ever attended one of my workshops or classes you've heard me say,  "there are no mistakes, only creative opportunites"  - The photo I was printing was supposed to be black & white, however when it printed it immediately reminded me of this book cover:

 

so using my "bad" photo as a creative opportunity I made this layout:

  So my challenge to you this weekend is to create a layout or card, using a book cover as your inspiration!

Link your creations here in the comments section of this post by this Sunday night and if you need a little push to get you going, I'll randomly draw a winner from those who posted to win these fun Stampin' Up!  goodies:

    Ribbon Originals Rustic Retreat Ribbon, Brass White Circle Metal Edge Tags & Rust Stampin' Emboss Powder - Over $20 worth of Stampin' & Scrappin' Goodness! 

So get crackin' and link up your creations here by Sunday night!  I'll draw a winner on Monday!  Can't wait to see what you all come up with! 

(FYI - This layout is yet another one using my AMStudio May 2008 "Joyful" Papercrafting Kit.  If you are not yet on my E-mail list and did not get the details, let me know and I'll forward you the scoop on what's included and how to get it!  You can also see other samples using this kit in the album in the sidebar.)
