Challenge #44: It's time to give Thanks

Challenge #44 Thankful Projects

Hello all you beautiful people out there in bloglandia. Misty here to welcome back to the Paper Girls Challenge Blog. This go 'round we're challenging you to make a project with thanks giving in mind. It can be any project you'd like to create with "THANKS" in mind.

Every Thanksgiving I wish that I had name plates for everyone at their seats. This year there will finally be a place card at each setting. I used a Stampin' Up set called Turkey Talk for the images, added some punched leaves and stamped the names. A quick and fun coloring project.

 

Here Cathryn created some gorgeous thankful cards to send out. Those owls are precious.

 

Erica made this amazing Thankful Advent. What a great way to remember to give thanks.

Michele went all out when creating these Thankful greeting cards. I love the fall colors.

 

Jessica made these sweet and simple thoughtful cards with some great sentiments.

Kristy scrapped her little heart out and made this SWEET layout of her precious blessings.

 Amber  must have been thinking the same thing...how could she not be grateful for these little munchkins.

Becci created this burlap Thanksgiving banner and she makes it quick and easy with a mini tutorial on her blog.

Deborah made this amazing home decor piece to remind her just what she's thankful for!!

Charity made this beautiful card. I love the trims she used!

Now, if these projects don't want to make you to sit down at your table and start crafting away on some thankful type project then I don't know what will :)

Here's the prize that will be sent to one lucky randomly chosen winner from this challenge's entries.

Make sure to follow our blog and like our Facebook page. Limited to three entries per person per challenge.

And for the winner of the challenge #43 was entry #36 Wendy Brassart

Challenge #43 - Cut it Out

Welcome back for another Paper Girls challenge! Michele here, and my challenge to you is to Cut It Out! You can cut with cutting machines like Cricut or Silhouette, or cut with dies, and if you don't have either of those, I want to see some fussy cutting!

I used my new Cricut to cut out the flowers and sentiments on these tags:

Charity cut out her butterfly layers with a Kreaxions die, and then punched the corners of the top butterfly to make this beauty:

Becci used her Silhouette to create this cute coffee cup card. (I guess it could be any hot beverage, really!)

Jessica used a scalloped frame die to embellish this page of her mini album.
Be sure to visit her blog to see the rest of this adorable album!

Charissa fussy cut some Dear Lizzy patterned paper for the base of her embellishments on this layout.

 

Heather made these cute Christmas tags with her Cricut Very Merry Tags cartridge.

 

 Kristy used her Cricut to cut out the layers of a banner, then used the banner as a background on her gorgeous layout.

Deborah glued paper to her chipboard letters and then used her craft knife to cut the letters for this banner.

These ladies have certainly inspired me to get creative with my cutting. How about you?

You have until 11:59 MDT on November 16th to link up your project to be entered into this drawing.

Since the challenge is to Cut It Out, I've got a couple of dies to send to our lucky winner!
