Second Challenge: Photobooth Style Photo Strip

First off we are really excited with the response to our first ever challenge here at the Paper Girls Challenge blog. There were some beautiful layouts linked up and we are happy to bring some inspiration to your scrap room.

Our next challenge is to use a photo booth style photo strip on your page. You can use any layout you would like we just want to see what you do with it!

my pages (Erica)

I initially made this page with the challenge in mind. I was dying to use this particular sheet of paper from the Amy Tangerine line ever since I got it.


I have a tendency to obsess over an idea so I thought of another page for you to check out. This one was for a Take 12 page for the Month of January. I was going for a sketchbook type of look.


This last page I did is my Take 12 for February. The first page is a sketch from the talented Kristy Lee at ScrapbookSteals. As you can see all of us are a fan of hers. Sheryl and Judy and I all happened to use this sketch for this challenge. I know when I saw it I thought it was such a perfect coincidence that this was going to be our next challenge.

Now some pages from our team:

Our First Challenge

Can you believe it? Our first challenge! The nine of us are very excited to launch our blog and to bring inspiration to each of our readers.

The challenge this week is a sketch based off a layout I did last week. I recently started a new job and part of the interview process was taking multiple personality tests. Yes, multiple personality tests. Last Monday I received the results. While I am not going to share every tiny detail of the results, I was inspired to create a layout with myself being the subject. I don't like photos of myself, so this was definitely stretching the creative zone for me. The layout is about my reflections and what I aspire to do in the next year.

As I created the layout, a sketch came into my head and I ran with it. When I shared the sketch with The Paper Girls Team, they were inspired to create. I hope you are too.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my (Judy) layout:

In addition, here are layouts created by a few members of The Paper Girls Team.
