Dare 178

Once in awhile we like to do something different here at the Dares, whether that be a non-scrap related challenge or just go MIA for a bit while we try to find our creative selves who seem to go missing quite often.
This week we opted to bring in someone with a fresh perspective on the Dares.
Please welcome April Foster! 
The subject of her Dare? 
"Because of...."
Are the ideas swirling around in that noggin' of yours? Good.
We've got a little incentive for you to create with us.
Post your layout to the Studio Calico gallery or your personal blog.
Come back and post the link here by midnight, June 27th.
We'll then choose a winner and post that lucky person the morning of June 29th.
The take?
Studio Calico's Countryside Collection.
If that doesn't get you motivated, I don't know what will. :)
