Challenge #50: Home

 Hi folks, Amber here today with our newest challenge. Having recently moved, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about what 'home' means.  I also chose the word 'Home' to focus on as my word for the year. So I thought it would make for a fun challenge to see you how you all interpret the theme of "Home". This can be any project with a home on it, a card or gift to someone who just moved to a new home, a home décor piece, anything!

 

Here's what I made:

I made this mini album that is the shape of a house to document all of the homes we've lived in (6 houses and 2 apartments in 15 years in case you're interested!)


Kristy:

Kristy created this card to send to a friend who is a new Air Force wife...as a reminder that Home is where the Air Force sends you.

 

 

Becci:

Becci created this card with a home theme, as a thank you for a housewarming gift. The lower half of the card is an envelope which contains the grey inner layer for an interactive card.

 

 

Charity:

Charity created this layout about the long trip home and the mountains on the horizon. What a beautiful drive home!

    

 

Michele:

Michele made this CAS card for her sister who just bought a new house.

 

 

Cathryn:

Cathryn created this wonderful mixed media piece of art that would look great in any home.

"Home is where the heart is"

"There's no place like home"

"Welcome Home"

"Home on the range"

Challenge #49 - Love Your Love

Good morning Paper Girls! 

This is Becci and I am kicking off the month of LOVE with a Valentine's class party gift. I am a fan of non-candy gifts for my girl's classes, which takes a little more planning ahead but you can also give a fun gift that will likely last longer.

Here is the beginning of my twisty straw gift project:

Then I noticed that they didn't say WHO the gift was from, so I added these cute little hearts to the back:

One tip for you on any 3D type of craft, like these or boxes or bags that you craft yourself - use HOT GLUE. Seriously, it keeps it together quicker and better and you won't have anything popping off.

Here is my completed project. I ended up making 40 of these straws to split between the girl's two classes:

The PGCB Design Team has even more lovelies to share with you today:

Heather Gray
