Welcome to Paper Dolls Challenge #1!

Hi All, it's Laurie (Laurie Beth) here with the Paper Dolls first challenge!  The Dolls are so excited to get started this week with our new blog and weekly challenges!   We will be hosting a random challenge on Thursday of each week! 

 First off, I just want to let you know that we would LOVE to see your takes on this sketch!  Please feel free to jump in here and play along!  It's open to anyone!  We would love to see your PTI stamps but any stamps are welcome!   Just link your creation at the end of the post! 

I volunteered to get a jump start this week, so here we are!  I picked a sketch for our first challenge and here it is....


Its very similar to a card I have done in the past and thought it would be a good simple sketch to get us all started!  So, here is my take on this weeks sketch...


Something as simple as an oval can really give a card a great focal point!



Thanks for stopping by today!  Can't wait to see everyone's take on the sketch!  Have a great day!

Laurie

  10. Can anyone join in? Are there rules to follow other than sticking with the design of the card?

  11. Yes, anyone can join in! No rules...if you have Papertrey stamps, we'd love it if you use them, but no worries if you don't!
