Kristy here! I hope you had a great {Inter}National Scrapbooking Day. I hope seeing all the different challenges and blog hops many of the companies were hosting over the weekend got your creative juices going - just in time for our new challenge!
Time to break out your pens, pencils, even the straw end from your mister, to doodle on your page. I know it may be intimidating, but hopefully seeing all the different ways The Paper Girls doodled on their projects will inspire you to put pen to paper for more than just journaling. We have quite a few fun things to share with you today, so let's get started!
Judy created this fun patriotic tag with fun doodling around the edge, coloring in some of the stars and highlighting the USA.
I simply L-O-V-E the card Erica created. Give this girl a white pen and some blank paper and look what she does!
Charity added some fun hearts and flourishes around her circles to highlight those little monkeys just hanging out!
Sheryl's flourishes remind me of the steam from a cup of tea, and I just wish I could enjoy a cup with her!
Isn't Heather's little girl just the cutest thing?!? I love that finishing touch from the doodling around the edge of the purple paper.
Kyla's continues to take us on her journey to Las Vegas with the doodling in her Smash book.
Amber's card is full of doodles and beautiful watercoloring. I know I would be happy to receive this in the mail!
Charissa's sense of whimsy in her layouts is so fun! I love the extra touch the doodles add to this page.

I have a couple projects for you too. The first is just a simple doodle on the edge of my photo mat. I feel like it grounds the picture.
The second project has a little more pen to paper - some simple white lines around the title to draw attention to it, as well as tracing over the pattern on the Amy Tangerine paper (kraft). It just wasn't "bold" enough for me, and I wanted to make sure it was seen. ;-)
It amazes me how just taking a couple minutes to doodle on a project, really adds some pop! This is a perfect example... Charissa and I both used the same journaling cards on our 2013 Project Lifetitle page. She took the time to add her own personal touch to the cards and it is stunning what a difference it makes! (So stunning that Amy Tan of Amy Tangerine fame pinned her picture!)
See if you agree:
Everyone created some wonderful projects! I hope you find a bit of inspiration and join us for our challenge!
