Challenge #10: A sketch by Amy

Hello.....It's Amy and I'm so happy to be hosting this week's Papertrey Paper Dolls challenge!

This week I wanted to do a sketch using scallops and after

seeing this card by Dawn McVey, I knew that was it!!

I have used a similar layout before here but this is just a bit different.

(Thanks to Jen for helping me with this sketch!)

I love the look of scallops and especially Papertrey's new scallop dies! 

So if you have those, use them but if not just substitute something else for them! 

Here is my card using the above sketch!

Please come play along....we have our challenges up for 3 weeks!! 

We all would LOVE to see what you create during our challenges!

Challenge #9: What's Old is New!

Happy Thursday!!! I don't know about you, but I absolutely loved Papertrey's June release! From the Friendship Jars to All About You to Flutterby Friend, I just loved it! I am super excited about inking up several new sets. I'm sure that when my order arrives I'll have a hard time deciding what to ink up first!

Speaking of what to ink up first...that's just what our challenge is going to be this week! I want you to think back to one of the first PTI sets you ever inked up (for some I know it's not been too long, and that's OK!) Using one of those first sets, make something new and link it up below for us all to ooh and ahh over! 

Little Lady was in my very first PTI order, so she got some loving for this challenge.

I hope you give this challenge a go...I'd love to see what set brought you to share in this lovely little addiction to Papertrey Ink. You've got plenty of time...three whole weeks! The past two challenges are still open as well...give them a look and play along!

Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #8

Hi, everyone! It's Lee Anne, and it's my turn to host this week's challenge. I really like the sketch challenges that we've been having, but for some reason I'm drawn to a color challenge this week.

A few weeks ago my family celebrated my son's 5th birthday and my nephew's 4th birthday with one big party.  It was a lot of fun, and I should have been more focused on the party, but instead I was focused on this shirt that my sister had on.  I kept seeing PTI colors the whole time and couldn't wait to get home to put something together.


So that is my challenge to you.  Use this color palette to create your project. (If you don't have these exact colors, then try to get close and have some fun!)

Here's the card I created using Take 3: Summer and Inside & Out: Thank You:

And here's the inside:

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Stamps: Take 3: Summer, Inside & Out: Thank You

Paper Dolls - Challenge #6

Hi! It's Deena (honugurl16), and this week, it's my turn to host the challenge. Can I be honest? Today was the last day of school and it was only yesterday that I realized it was MY TURN! Yikes. I wanted to do a sketch, but I wanted some sort of twist...so I decided to choose a sketch that had a little something extra.

So here's the challenge. It's from the Go-To Sketches magazine. It's on page 90. Half the cards are an odd size, but I wanted to keep mine standard. The challenge is to make a card with a pocket on the front for a gift card. I often give gift cards, but I want to give them in a creative way. I think this fits the bill.

Have fun with this one. I'm really loving the new Beautiful Blooms paper. My newest favorite cardstock is Smokey Shadow, and I'm loving the smokey shadow flowers on the paper.

Supplies (All supplies PTI unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Mega Mixed Messages
Ink: Versacolor Black
Paper: Pure Poppy, Smokey Shadow, Beautiful Blooms
Other: HS felt, Pure Poppy Vintage Buttons, Nesties Labels 1, rhinestones (brand unknown), circle punch

Paper Dolls-Challenge #5

Hi, everybody! It's Michelle (abzzymom).  It's my turn to issue this week's Paper Dolls Challenge and I've decided to make it about color.  To choose the colors, I laid out my inks, closed my eyes, and picked three colors. Your challenge is to create a card or project using these colors.

(A big THANK YOU to Katie for helping me with my post by making the color challenge box above.)

Here's the card I came up with.  I used the Out On a Limb set, which is one of my go-to sets.

The card base looked plain so I used the Giga Guidelines impression plate for the background to give it a little texture. 

Here's a close-up of my "butterfly" bow with the button.

This year, I promised myself I would also complete the inside of any card I make.

I can't wait to see what you create using these colors. If you don't have these exact colors, use something that's close. It's all about having fun!  Bonus points for finishing the inside of your cards too!

Hope you can play along with the Dolls!  Remember to add your specific post to the link tool below.

Paper Dolls - Challenge #4

Hi! Jen Carter here!  Welcome to another Papertrey Paper Dolls challenge!  Today's challenge is called "Feminine/Masculine"!  Your challenge this week is to create a masculine card and then use the same stamps and basically the same layout and create a feminine card as well.

Here is my masculine card:

And here is the feminine version of the same card:

(sorry the sentiment is so hard to see on this card...it says, "It's Your Day")

In both cards I used the same stamps: Fly Away, Vintage Labels & Star Prints.  I also used the woodgrain impression plate behind the airplane and the same basic layout.
