Challenge #212 - Thankful/Grateful

Hello, everyone! Lori here to bring you this week's challenge. 

Since Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away here in the US, this week's challenge is going to be "Thankful/Grateful". Create a project with a thankful/grateful theme. Maybe it's a layout of someone or something you are thankful/grateful for, maybe you are doing a gratitude journal this month, or maybe you want to make a thank you - or thankful for you - card for someone special.

I have created a thankful card and a TN spread of the people I am most thankful for, for this challenge.

Challenge #211 - Fall & Pumpkins Color Palette Challenge

Happy November! If you're anything like me... You love the Autumn colors. I wanted to challenge you to either use this image or the color palette as reference for your challenge! 

Heather

As you noticed - I didn't use pumpkins or pie in my card - but instead used the color palette to inspire this Autumnal card. I used a Concord & 9th stamp set and die set - and my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color.

Check out some more projects by our fabulous team!

Challenge #210 - Getting Ready for Halloween!

Hi it's Karrie up with your challenge for my all time favourite time of the year!  

I would like to see what are you doing to get ready for Halloween!

 Making decorations, cards, candy apples, homemade costumes? 

Getting old Halloween pictures scrapped? Decorating your planner?  

This challenge is wide open, show us what you've got going on for this spooky season!

AND

As an added bonus we are partnering with the Double Trouble ladies again for their 69th challenge - "Fall Bat Color Challenge".

While your considering creating a project for our 'Getting Ready for Halloween' challenge, you may want to consider incorporating the Trouble Maker's color challenge using at least (3) three colors from their rainbow of fall colors, which include: Purple, Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Red, Brown, and Neutrals, Gold and Silver, which are also free to use. A fun added optional twist from the Twisted Sister is to exclude bats from your project. Please visit the Double Trouble Challenge blog for more details and to learn more about their challenges.

Be sure to link your project(s) to both challenges (Paper Girls and Double Trouble) for additional chances to win! Both challenges end on Sunday, 11/1.

To kick off this challenge, we would like to introduce our amazing guest designer, Meghan Kennihan!

Meet Meghan, A Personal Trainer and Run Coach who has a nasty craft habit on her “rest” day and loves all things crafty – especially card making and scrapbooking. She says her life has always revolved around creating!

Her style is BRIGHT colors, pattern papers, CUTE, and whimsical creations. Although she scrapbooks,  card  making  has become her focus this past year as she has really gotten into all the various techniques with cards and coloring. She loves her Copic markers, using Distress inks, die cuts, and stencils.

As you can tell from her profile picture, she is  a dog mom to Maddie, the love of her life. Please visit her blog and check out her “Make Crafty Friends Q & A” on all the posts to get to know her better!

Megan is sharing two Haunted House Cards with you today. "When I think about getting ready for Halloween I think about the house decorations so I thought these SPOOKY houses would be perfect for the challenge!"

 

Karrie

I've gotten into making seasonal gnomes, I didn't invent this but they're easy to do and I think they're the cutest!

(more details on my blog) 

Here are more creations from our fabulous team mates:

Brittany

I created this layout to remember our Halloween night a couple years ago and this card to send to a friend.

Challenge #209 - Wedding/Anniversary

Hello everyone, it's Alex here bringing you Challenge 209 which is about Weddings.  

 

My hubby and I will be celebrating our 20th anniversary in just two days time and my wedding scrapbook is awfully bare, so starting last month I've been scrapbooking almost entirely that!

If you have no weddings to scrap or create cards for, how about an anniversary or graduation?  Whatever the occasion, CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉🎉🎉

My layout for this challenge features one of my favorite photos, but the colours are still slightly off.  Scanning in negatives is definitely not as easy as I thought it would be!

 

Here's another recent wedding layout.  Both are on the same blog post, but this one has a process video as well.

Karrie

Attended a friend's wedding (before lockdown of course) and had a great time!

Brittany

I made a couple wedding cards for a couple upcoming weddings for friends.

Challenge #208 - Pick 3

Hello, everyone! Happy Monday to you all! It's DT member Lori with you today and I am so excited to host this week's challenge!

This week I have a fun little "Pick 3" Challenge for you! Just pick 3 items from the list below and use them on your project. You can use more than 3 items from the list and you can use other things that are not on the list, but we must see at least 3 items from the list below on your project:

Tag
Heart
Flower
Polka dots
Vellum
Doily
Circle
The color gold
Apple
Lots of Layers

Now, we would like to introduce our fabulous guest designer, Silkes KartenKram!

"I am so happy to be invited as a guest designer for the Paper Girls. The passion for craftwork leads me from sewing cuddly animals and dolls to making pictures with window colours and beaded animals. But I have always worked with paper. For eight years I have discovered card making for myself. This is a great way to relax. My cards are mostly in cute style and my favourite embellishments are sequins and ribbons. Visit me on my blog and have a look around:  https://kartenkram.blogspot.com/"

"From the list of given items I chose Tag, Polka Dots, and Lots of Layers. I love design papers with polka dots and for girly cards they are ideal as background.  A dotted design paper was placed on a thin frame and then attached to the card. A patterned pink design paper was placed crosswise. The fence is meant to symbolize a garden. The girl, the little bird and the basket of flowers were stamped on a paper, coloured with Copics, cut out and placed on a tag. The tag is a nice element to highlight the motive. The sentiment was placed under the tag. Finally, some golden sequins were used to set some accents."

Lori

For my project, I have created a Christmas card and I have used a tag, hearts, polka dot paper and embossing folder, and I have to tiniest bit of gold thread that I threaded through my star buttons. You can read more about my card on my blog - My Happy Life:

Erica

Erica used a circle, a doily, and vellum on her layout:

Brittany

I chose polka dots, flowers, and hearts for my layout.

Alex

Alex managed to use everything on the list except the apple!

Karrie

I'm late to the party but I picked a few too!  

Apple, heart, layers, polkadots
