After a great deal of planning and work, the day is finally here! Papers Pads and Pictures is beginning a Blog Challenge!!! I know that there are lots of challenges out there, but I wanted this challenge to be a little different. Every other week on a Friday, I will be announcing a new challenge. A "winner" along with "highlight" artists will be announced 2 days after the challenge closes. Everyone will have 2 weeks to complete the challenge. I have prizes and surprises planned along the way! I want this challenge to be as fun as it is informative so each challenge will include a tip or technique. Challenges should not be about just making a project, but also about helping us grow as artisians! This challenge is open to all paper crafters...Please show us your projects...scrapbook layouts, altered items, cards. We invite all skill levels to play along...after all, I WANT everyone to learn and grow. You do not have to use Close To My Heart products to play along, but you will be seeing great CTMH supplies in our samples. This challenge is being done with the help of one of my very talented friends, Nancy. She will be the Lead Designer for all of our artwork. Check out her
terrific blog and her entertaining YouTube videos.
So, here we go PPPC#1 Sketch Challenge...
Here are some examples made with this sketch... 
Nancy made the cute little bunny and I made the other two samples. Remember, with the idea of a sketch is to give ideas for layouts, so if you don't have a 4 inch oval, you can use a square. Feel free to alter the sketch a little, but keep with the basic design. Also, this is a "project" challenge...use this sketch on a scrapbook layout, on the top of a decorated box...you decide and don't forget to post your work and leave a comment. Now, for the fun part...everyone who joins in the fun these next two weeks will be eligible for a prize! We will also have cool blinkies for your very own web pages, blogs and facebook. I will be using a random generator to select the receipent of a complete CTMH Level 2 Wings Paper Packet and a matching "A" size stamp set called "A Flitter." Retail value of the prize is approximately $21.00. Yippieee!!! I'll have a "sticky" post at the top of this blog where you can link all of your artwork! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. For Now, Happy Crafting!
