Challenge #34

Hey everyone,

 

It’s Sheryl here this week. I thought it was about time for a sketch. Hope you like it & will play along! I couldn’t decide which throwback picture of my kids to us, so I did them both. A mom can’t play favourites, right? ;)

 

Hope you enjoy the sketch and I can’t wait to see what you create!

Our First Challenge

Can you believe it? Our first challenge! The nine of us are very excited to launch our blog and to bring inspiration to each of our readers.

The challenge this week is a sketch based off a layout I did last week. I recently started a new job and part of the interview process was taking multiple personality tests. Yes, multiple personality tests. Last Monday I received the results. While I am not going to share every tiny detail of the results, I was inspired to create a layout with myself being the subject. I don't like photos of myself, so this was definitely stretching the creative zone for me. The layout is about my reflections and what I aspire to do in the next year.

As I created the layout, a sketch came into my head and I ran with it. When I shared the sketch with The Paper Girls Team, they were inspired to create. I hope you are too.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my (Judy) layout:

In addition, here are layouts created by a few members of The Paper Girls Team.
