Challenge #10 - A Photo Inspiration!

Hello everyone and welcome back!

It's another Monday here at The Paper Girl's Challenge Blog which can only mean one thing, a new challenge!

For our tenth challenge (can you believe it?! Ten!) I found a photo to draw inspiration from.  While spending some time on Pinterest a couple months ago I came across this pin that I added to my colour board. I loved the vibrant colours and the movement of the piece so I tucked it away and hoped that I could come back to it one day.  This challenge seemed like the perfect time!

The mosaic was created and made by British artist, Natalie Warne. You can check out her online gallery here.



I thought with this photo there was so many different ways to draw inspiration to create a layout or card. The colours, the wavy lines, the mosaic itself, the flowers, the cirlces, the tiles are just some of the many different possiblites. So there is Challenge #10, use this photo in any way you can imagine to create a project!

I love what our talented Team Members came up with!

Challenge #9 Subway Art

I'm so exited for this next challenge. Besides being a scrapbooking addict I have a little obsession with Pinterest.  As I was browsing a few months ago I started noticing a trend of Subway art in Home decor products and craft projects. I started thinking about how I'd like to make something of my own and then the idea popped into my head that this style would translate really well onto a scrapbook page. Here are a few samples of some of the products I've seen in stores:

 

 

 

Also if you need more ideas I created a pinboard of just subway art so you can have a lot of ideas to choose from. Here are a few of my favorites though:

This one is from a blog called Infarrantly Creative

 

This one is from a shop on Etsy called Sycamorestreetpress

I hope this will help you get the wheels turning! And last but not least here are the pages made by our talented team members. I love all of the different directions that everyone went with it and I can't wait to see what all of you do.
