It's my turn to host the next Paper Dolls challenge. Since I've been so busy I've made this one really simple.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Use Your Patterned Paper</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Create a card or project that uses at least three different </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">patterns of paper.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of us have an enormous stash of patterned paper that we could never, ever use up. So pull out a few sheets and put them to use.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose to make a set of note cards with two slightly different looks that are blank inside. These will make a great gift set sometime.</span><br />

Hi everyone! Jessica, here, from <a href="http://thepaperparade.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">The Paper Parade</span></a>. Its my month to host the Paper Dolls challenge. I chose this month because it is my birth month, and I thought it would be fun to create a birthday card challenge with a twist...use some birthday wrapping paper on your card!</div>

The dog is colored with Copics. The sentiments are from the same set. The cardstock is PTI, the twine is from the Twinery, the pearls from Recollections, the scallop punch from SU, and the double ended banner die from PTI.</div>

I remember PTI hosting a challenge after Christmas to use leftover wrapping from your Christmas gifts, and I thought it was such a fun idea, so I decided to take it and repurpose it as a birthday idea :) So I hope you have fun with some funky paper and create a unique birthday card for someone special, or for your stash! If you do play along, make sure to link up below to show us what you create, I'd love to see!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.83333396911621px;">I impressed the sheet music IP over some Sweet Life roses. I actually took time to mask off the roses as I stamped. That's a technique that I usually don't bother with because it takes a bit more time. Nothing difficult of course, just more time and effort. The roses are stamped using Pretty in Pink (SU), then Berry Sorbet (PTI) and Rose Bud (memento).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.83333396911621px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.83333396911621px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.83333396911621px;">Hope you all are having a wonderful week!</span>

Amy had such a fun idea for a challenge--to use impression plates on our focal points. This is something I love to do, so I am happy to be the first to play along.</div>

Hi everyone! It's <a href="http://stamp-n-paradise.blogspot.com/">Amy from Stamp-n-Paradise</a> here to host July's Paper Doll Challenge!</div>
<div align="center">
I want to start by saying that I had a very different route in mind for my challenge UNTIL I saw this post by the very talented Maile Belles. Did you all check out her post <a href="http://mailebelles.blogspot.com/2012/07/focal-point-impressions.html"><strong>HERE</strong></a>?</div>
<div align="center">
I was just amazed by this technique she calls Focal Point Impressions.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The challenge this month is to use Maile's technique:</div>
<div align="center">
<strong>FOCAL POINT IMPRESSIONS</strong></div>

Here is my version of Maile's technique:<br />

I loved <a href="http://papertreypaperdolls.blogspot.com/2012/06/june-challenge-celebrate-generosity.html" target="_blank">Joyce's challenge</a> this month! <br />
<br />
Earlier this month she challenged us to use products we were gifted or received as a RAK on our cards. What a great idea! Above you will see a *tiny* example of what I have received from a fellow Doll, Renee.<br />
<br />
Come on over to <a href="http://kristinshappy.blogspot.com/2012/06/celebrate-generosity-thanks-renee.html" target="_blank">my blog</a> to check out the rest of the card and see what I received as a RAK :)<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<a href="http://papertreypaperdolls.blogspot.com/2012/06/june-challenge-celebrate-generosity.html" target="_blank">***and play along with us and link up your card!***</a><br />

I have been so blessed by what others have given to me by way stamping supplies, from stamped images, die cuts, paper pads, ink, dies and stamp sets. My sister has been so kind to pass all of her stamping supplies my way when she went 100% digital and let me tell you she was a collector! Then there are the wonderful ladies I have met via the PTI forum, different blogs and all of the fabulous challenges. Because I have been so blessed I do my very best to "Pay it Forward" when I have the opportunity. So here is my card and I am using items that were given to me by three different fabulous and talented ladies...first the item is the barn wood, <a href="http://cards-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/">Joyce</a> was so sweet to stamp me 6 sheets of beautiful wood paper in 3 different colors and papers. Second item is the window, now who does not love this window, this is from <a href="http://itsapatchworklife.blogspot.com/">Renee from It's A Patchwork Life</a> and the third and final item is from my sweet sister, the ink to stamp my card. Thank you all so much and without your generosity to me and other stamping friends it would not be near as much fun. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Joyce here, from <a href="http://cards-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cards-by-the-Sea</a>, and it's my turn to host our </span><span class="il" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">challenge </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">this month.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I thought it would be fun to
celebrate the generosity of our wonderful crafting community. One
thing that has struck me over the almost 2 years I have been stamping is
how kind, giving and generous we crafters are. I have received
numerous RAK's as well as gifts. From stamp sets to dies, from card
kits to die cuts from dies I don't have, I've got a huge stash of
goodies to work with because of the kindness of others.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The </span><span class="il" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">challenge</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> this month:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>M</b></span><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">ake a project using something(s) you have received from another crafter. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have two projects to share today. It was great fun digging through my stash, pulling out things I have received as gifts.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The beautiful tulips on this card were cut and sent to me my my dear friend Kim of </span><a href="http://cupcakescardsandkim.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" target="_blank">Cupcakes, Cards and Kim</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. I still have a big bag of them, for another day. The doily on this card comes either from Cathy of </span><a href="http://emptynestcrafter.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" target="_blank">The Empty Nest Crafter</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> or Tracey of </span><a href="http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" target="_blank">In My Creative Opinion</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">--I have resisted buying this expensive Parisian lace doily die, and they both have sent me so many die cuts, that I probably will never need to buy the die.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Cathy also sent me a stack of card stock impressed with the Chicken Wire Impression Plate, which she knew I had not bought. Thanks to her, I was able to make this cow-themed birthday card, using my new On the Farm set.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Here is a little peek at the back of the cards. I always like to use a 'handmade by' type of stamp and my initials. When I am a rich and famous card maker--a signed original will be worth a fortune. My friend Monica of <a href="http://www.craftinginsunshine.com/" target="_blank">Simply Sunshine</a> sent me this stamp, when she heard that I collect 'handmade by' stamps.</div>

With Cricuts, dies and so many other ways to cut images I thought why would I ever need these again...that is until I read Christy's challenge. Then I remembered that there was one website that had some wonderful digital images you can buy and print on your printers at home and her images are just so festive and whimsical. I made a set of cards a while back using her adorable little <a href="http://cupcakescardsandkim.blogspot.com/2012/04/just-bee-cause-card-set.html">"bees"</a>. The name of the site is <a href="http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/index.php">Pink Petticoat</a>, and Liz is just amazing, she even has some fabulous free stuff too and that is what I used to make my card for this challenge and here is the <a href="http://pinkpetticoat.blogspot.com/search/label/sweet%20%7Bfree%7D%20stuff">link</a>.<div>
I was so impressed at how beautiful the images print but what really blew me out of the water was the full color sheets of card stock. I used PTI's White card stock and you would never know that this paper was printed at home, just fabulous! So here is my card and thanks for taking a peek!</div>

The strawberry paper is from PTI's Tutti Frutti, the "happy" is from PTI's Wonderful Words dies, all cardstock is PTI, the texture on the basket is from a SU Sizzix embossing folder. The twine is from the Twinery, and the label punch from SU. If you would like to see more photos, please see my blog post <a href="http://thepaperparade.blogspot.com/2012/05/happy-birthday-joyce-paper-dolls.html">here</a>. This card was also a birthday card for my friend, and fellow Dolls member, <a href="http://cards-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/">Joyce</a>! This was a great challenge! Hope it leaves you will a good taste in your mouth for the next, which starts tomorrow! Please join us :)</div>

Hi! I'm here with my "fruity" card for Jen's challenge this month. We all hope you will play along and post your card to <a href="http://papertreypaperdolls.blogspot.com/2012/04/paper-dolls-challenge-47-little-fruity.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. I *pin* card and layout sketches all the time and then download them to Evernote so they are always at my disposal. Today's card is based on <a href="http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/2009/05/ftl-43.html" target="_blank">this sketch</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiugTndBtDi8tJdjXFFS7_8-_xfbsTlIyxHda3rNbtYQEt-aef1W-KT569y7viEHGIkQwB_ppOHsyJffXo_J9ygxCfPfPmuR9pPAEI6B2CGoGEhP4dHwvN9VwaLbeCFZ2iENpc5pcuf30Pr/s400/FTL43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiugTndBtDi8tJdjXFFS7_8-_xfbsTlIyxHda3rNbtYQEt-aef1W-KT569y7viEHGIkQwB_ppOHsyJffXo_J9ygxCfPfPmuR9pPAEI6B2CGoGEhP4dHwvN9VwaLbeCFZ2iENpc5pcuf30Pr/s320/FTL43.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
which is from the Clean & Simple Stamping Blog #43 sketch. Now there are 2 things that I must point out on my card... TARGET washi tape (!!!) and Mister Huey Calico Shine (!!!). First, the washi tape from Target that everyone is talking about.... I was able to snag some and the kids and I are having a blast with it. For $4/4 rolls it is so fun. The Shine spray really adds some sparkle and I finally got it super cheap through... AMAZON for $2.50! What a steal!<br />
<br />
I used PTI products on the rest of the card: Fruit Fusion: Cherry, Fruit Fusion paper, Take Note stamp (dotted circle), Simply Chartreuse, New Leaf, Berry Sorbet & Pure Poppy inks and card stock.<br />
<br />
Again, please play along with us and link up! You have until May 9th.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

It is <a href="http://jensinkspot.blogspot.com/">Jen from Jen's Ink Spot</a> here! I am honored to host the next Paper Dolls Challenge! It is a 2-in-1 challenge! <br />

In honor of Spring your challenge is to create a card or project that includes fruit on it somewhere AND is based on a sketch of your choice! I find that if I need a starting place when I am "stuck" on a card, the best thing to help me get going is to start with a sketch. If you aren't sure where to find sketches, I've included a few of my favorite blog links where you can find sketches to use (of course there are many more to choose from)!<br />
<br />
Here is the card I made featuring a strawberry image.<br />
<br />

The ribbon is from Amuse, the cardstock is all PTI.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">There's still time to play along, so why don't you join us? This was my first ever Paper Dolls challenge as a member of the team, and I truly enjoyed it, so I know you will too :) Scroll all the way down to find the Mr. Linky so you can link your card up!</span></div>The Paper Paradehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06643798793790830804noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933957663195781706.post-36420248134486870572012-03-22T20:57:00.003-04:002012-03-23T01:36:05.221-04:00Time for Some Spring Bling!<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi!

I am so honored to be part of this incredibly talented group of ladies. I made this card as a thank you card for everyone who was so sweet to hop along with Joyce - <a href="http://cards-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/">Cards-by-the-Sea </a>in celebration of my birthday. Then I got to thinking that this would be a great card to post for the Spring Bling challenge. <br />
