Challenge #182 - Picture inspiration


We have a fun picture inspiration up today to get the juices flowing. These colors are perfect for the season of harvest that is in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere maybe you can do a springtime take on it? As usual link up your projects below! We love seeing what you make!

I was inspired to pull out as many of the purples and greens as I could from the image. I loved the deep jewel tones.




The colours in the pic inspired me to use up some large purple flowers with green tips on this card.

Challenge #181 - Vellum


Hello everyone, Michele here with the next challenge from the Paper Girls! When I choose a challenge I like one that uses up things I might have in my stash that I love but just don't normally reach for. This time I've chosen vellum.

Challenge #181 - Vellum

Plain vellum, patterned, colored, whatever you'd like. But I know you have some in your stash, we all do!

We have a wonderful guest designer for you today:

Jessica Navarro

I am a Senior Vice President at WSP, the largest healthcare MEP design firm in the world. I’m an electrical engineer by day and a wife/mother by night. My husband of 10 years, Juan and spunky 7 year old daughter, Maddie, support my love of scrapbooking and crafting. Maddie’s been scrapbooking her own pages since she was 4 years old. I’m pretty sure she is the most photographed and documented child in the world! I love traveling, reading, planning parties, and crafting!



I’m so excited to be featured as guest designer this month and what a great challenge month it is! “VELLUM”. I haven’t used vellum in a long time. This challenge is the best kind, because I used up a lot of old stash! I managed to include 30 pieces of vellum cuts from Close To My Heart (Calypso Complements) on this layout. I used a glittzy piece of cardstock from Bazzill as my base, Thickers alpha stickers for the year, and mini alphas from BasicGrey. I also included a couple of arrows from Paper Wizard. The vellum pieces offset the photos perfect for a bit of Summer Swimming Popsicle fun! I’d love for you to follow me via my blog at: https://scraplifterdesigns.blogspot.com/2019/08/guest-designer-for-papergirls-challenge.html


Thank you, Jessica, for sharing your bright, beautiful layout, and your fun use of vellum!
Please enjoy some more inspiration from the Paper Girls:

Michele
I created my card with supplies from a planner kit! 
The floral background is from a sheet of gorgeous patterned vellum.


Karrie
Not my idea but saw this and wanted to try! Diecut sheets with an
 overlay of a vellum sheet, to make luminaries!
(with flameless candles of course!)
