Welcome to the Paper Craft Weekend Challenge!!

Welcome fellow paper crafters!! This is Allison from Goody Bag Diva and Caroline from Caroline's Craftography bringing you our new challenge blog. We are super excited to expand our challenges onto a blog where we can provide you with inspiration every weekend to get in your craft room and use your stuff!We also named this blog "Paper Craft" because we didn't want to limit ourselves (and you) to just one type of machine or crafting - we hope to cover all the bases. Our goal is to create a spot where you can find a lot of inspiration and put your own special touch on each challenge.

Here's how it will work: every Friday and Sunday we will post a new challenge to inspire you to get creating. It might be inspired by a die cut shape or even something we discover in the craftroom. Once you get in your own space and create your project  you can post it on your own blog, a crafting message board, or upload it here. We will have an linking tool at the bottom of each challenge post. There is no need to worry about a time limit or "following the rules" - this is for fun! If you can't get to Friday's challenge until Tuesday, and you want to finish Sunday's first go ahead - we won't tell on you!

In addition to the weekend challenges on the first Tuesday of every month we will have "Technique Tuesday" where we will share with a tutorial with you and maybe get you interested in a new product or technique! We will also have one weekend a month with guest designers - because we want our crafty friends to be able to come over and play!

All we ask of you is that if you post on your own blog you give us a shout out and a link back, and if you aren't feeling all that crafty yourself, leave some comments and love for the people who are! We will get this party started tomorrow with a sketch challenge - and not just one sketch  - but two! Can't wait to see you back here tomorrow!
---Allison & Caroline

  10. Totally awesome ladies! Love the sketch challenges although I rarely stick to the sketch but for me they are a great starting point. Probably won't get to play though DS and DIL are moving this weekend so I will be busy but will definitely stop in to see what is going on.
