Challenge #16: Baby


Good morning!! It's Heather here with a challenge finally! Since most of my time is spent with my 7 month old, our challenge this week is Baby! Maybe it's your kids, your pets, your garden. Whatever you consider your baby, we want to see those projects! It can be a LO, a card, altered art, etc. The Paper Girls have some pretty cute babies, if I do say so myself!

Here is my LO. I used Authentique's monthly sketch.


This is one of my favorite pictures of my daughter from her 1st Fourth of July!

Charity


I love all the circles and the colors are perfect for that adorable photo!

Charissa


I love all the layers here and those little cameras are just too cute!

Kristina


I love the bright colors for her 2 little cuties and the brackets around the title add a nice touch!

Erica


I love how she used the journaling card to mark 2 months and the use of washi is great!

Sheryl


Sheryl used a Julie Bonner sketch for her cutie pie. I love the mix of patterns on this!

Amber


Amber scrapped her sweet baby's birth announcement using those classic boy colors.


I can't wait to see all the baby projects this week!!

Challenge #15: Go BIG

Hello! Erica here with the next challenge. Let me just start out by saying that I really enjoyed looking at all of the different pages everyone made with our Get Messy Challenge. Some of you got really into it! That was a really fun Challenge!

Now let me introduce you to our next Challenge: Go Big.. Use a photo on your layout that is a 5 x 7 or bigger. This is a great opportunity to really get up close with one of your favorite photos. There are some really cool interpretations from the Paper Girls and I hope they stimulate your imagination.

Here is what I came up with:

 I went for an 8 x10 of my youngest when he was just a tiny little guy.

Charity made a card out of an 8 x 10 print that she had. Great idea!

 
 I love that Amber made the large print the focal point of her page but also added smaller pictures underneath.

 Judy used one of those many classic  5 x 7 school pictures that we all have and featured it in this fun school themed page.

 Kristina came up with two different takes on the challenge. This one she actually printed a 12 x 12 picture to use as her background. Great idea!!
 On this second page the strip of three pictures are a collage print. So much fun!

 Kyla took this opportunity to scrap an 8 x 10 of a lovely view from a vacation. Stunning!

 Sheryl scrapped a 5 x7 picture of her daughter - with the picture a little larger it is emphasized just that much more.

I love this close up on Charissa's cutie pie. Up close and intimate!

I hope this give you plenty to go on so if you don't have any large prints laying around pick one out and print it! I can't wait to see everyone's creations for this round!

If you want to join in and submit an entry to our challenge use our linky tool down below to link up your photo! The deadline for this Challenge is Saturday, September 15th. Please let us know in the comments if  you have any questions or problems.
