Paper Girls Challenge #32 - Color Palette Challenge

Lucky for me the color palette challenge  for the Paper Girls Challenge blog fell on the graduation season. I needed to make some cards for some kids I know that are graduating STAT and this set of colors works perfectly for cards for the boys. I rifled through my 6x6 pads of papers to see what I had in Navy, Coral and Cream and found the Abroad collection by Studio Calico it fit perfectly!

All three cards were made with just two 6x6 pieces of paper. How am I to ever use all of my paper up being this efficient I wonder?

 

This card was made with all of the leftover strips from the other cards.

 

This was super simple I almost felt like I was cheating but really wanted to showcase the graphic. Had to add the enamel dots too. Love those!

A quick banner made from washi tape in the right color and done!

Paper Girls Challenge #31 -Doodle it!

When the challenge for doodling was suggested by Kristy at the Paper Girls Challenge blog I was so excited! I thought this would be a cinch! Anyhow when it came close to the deadline for submissions I started getting a creative block. Luckily when I sat down to actually make a project I just forced myself to start and this is what I came out with. I traced some arrows with my Kiwi Lane templates Nature #3. Then I doodles different designs on the inside of the arrows.  Then for the chevron design on the strip of blue cardstock I just traced the point of the arrow over and over. The small craft star I traced with my gold Stampin' Dazzle Marker. And lastly after stamping Thanks with the Pool Party Ink, I went back and accented the letters with a Pool Party Marker.

:Make sure you check out all of the inspiration projects up at the Paper Girls Challenge blog to get great ideas for more ways to doodle.

By the way I used a new stamp set from Stampin' Up called Designer Typeset and the cool thing is they are testing out Photopolymer stamps and I hope they keep making more sets. If you want to check out the other Photopolymer sets out right now go here. Also there is a stamping class you can buy with the two latest set in a bundle for $35.95.
