Challenge #12: Mesh

Charity Becker here with Challenge #12. The midwest is enduring quite the heat wave and to celebrate I've cooked up a doozy of a challenge. The next two weeks are going to be ALL about mesh. Originally I had the sort of orange or red mesh bags in mind that oranges, onions, or other produce comes in. But when I proposed my challenge to the Paper Girl's they showed up with colors I had never seen before.

To start of this batch of inspiration is a card I created using Graphic 45.

I slipped the mesh behind my letters to help my sentiment stand out.

~ So Glad, You're Back ~

Next up we have a layout from Erica,

she used just a smidge of mesh as an accent on her tree.
~ Rest Up...Refresh ~

This delightful card is from Kyla,

She robbed the First Aid kit and misted her mesh to compliment her card.

~ wishing you a Speedy Recovery ~

Not happy with just one project I (Charity)

went all gung-ho and added wide bands of mesh to my back ground for this layout.

~ drift wood ~

This seriously adorable card is from Amber.

She used her mesh as a misting mask.

~ Happy Birthday ~

Kristy snagged one mesh bag from her children's sand toys

and another from a Costco watermelon to create this cheery layout.

~ Perfect Ending ~

Judy bought a cantaloupe for the sole purpose

of getting a neutral toned mesh for her card. 

~ Imagine Dream Fly ~

Challenge #11: Rub On

Welcome back to The Paper Girls Challenge.  Kristy here, with your 11th Challenge!  Last time I challenged you to use stamps on your creation.  This time, it is rub-on's.  If you are like me, you probably have a drawer full of rub-ons sitting there staring back at you, waiting to be used.  I know I have a bunch.  I'll see them in the store, and think how cute, but I rarely pull them out to use them.  This is why I wanted to push myself and The Paper Girls to use those pesky little things...

I love that everyone used rub-ons in all different ways - even rubbing directly onto pictures.  I also love the mix of scrapbook pages and cards.  Remember, you don't just have to do scrapbook pages to enter our challenges!!!

Check out what everyone did!
