MMC - July 1 - Challenge #1
I find sketches the best way to jumpstart that creativity! :)  For this Sketch with a Twist challenge, in the theme of my summer MMC's, we are keeping it old school.  Did you have a Viewmaster when you were a kid?  I did!  Use the sketch below and the twist is you must use at least one Viewmaster photo reel (artwork, ephemera, print one from online, or you can even cut one yourself with a craft knife).  You can put photos in it, if you like, or just use it as a decorative element.  Bonus entry in the prize drawing if you put an actual Viewmaster reel on your layout! (Does anyone still have those?)

This sketch is awesome!  Besides the circles, did you notice the pieced together background?  Great way to use up some scraps if you choose to do it that way!  I need to be able to tell you used the sketch, so don't change it too drastically! ;)  

Image

You have until midnight, Monday, July 8th to upload your layout into the gallery spot I've provided.  
Must be a new layout.
CANNOT be combined with other challenges, except for the inspirational challenges that require multiple prompts, such as the bi-Monthly challenge.  (Before anyone asks, yes, you get to count these layouts for the new Team challenge! ;) )

I’ve found viewmasters in both Bobunnys “modern miss” and old MME. I don’t know if this helps? 

Fortunately I have two sizes of viewmaster dies, so I’ll get a jump on this challenge :) 
Add some sparkle to your life :)

I still have Viewmaster cards.
And my 8 year old DD and 5 year old grandbaby still play with them.
It is one of their favorite toys.

Maybe you could do a layout with them playing with it! :)

They have one you could cheat with on Cricut Design Space lol

No Laura, I won't cheat. It's a Celtic knot ( if they say so) but it's a bunch of viewmaster reels under a banner strip.

I said you could print one out, so I don't think it is cheating if it looks like a Viewmaster reel. ;)

If anybody needs to print out a viewmaster reel, I found this on Pinterest. It kinda matches the Vicki Boutin viewmaster reel tag that I found in my stash :)
