Challenge 13 begins today and this week's inspiration is a sketch created by our very own Beth Moore. Use the sketch as your inspiration to create any papercraft project you desire and then be sure to enter it at the bottom of this post before Saturday September 18 at 12 noon Eastern time, after that, the voting begins!

The Papercraft Star Creative Team used the sketch to create inspiration for this challenge to get you going on your own project this week.  Today we'll showcase Regan, Jan, Liz, and Caroline's inspiration pieces. Be sure to come back tomorrow and Friday to see even more inspiration from our talented team of designers that also include, Tracy, Steph, Catherine, Christy and Suzy!

Regan

For the challenge this week, Regan used Beth's sketch to go biker! She created this adorable layout of her daughter using the colors black, pink, silver and white! She used zipper trim and attached it with staples to give the layout some edge. By adding black glitter thickers for her title she gave the layout a little sparkle! For her accents throughout the page she used punches making this layout fun and simple! For more information please visit her at Emora Designs.

 

Jan

Do you hear the rustling leaves at your home yet ? Jan's favorite time of the year is fall. She doesn't scrapbook, so she chose to take only a part of the sketch, and create a fall card. She says she will send this as a thank you card to whomever invites her to a tailgate party first !

Liz

Liz loved working with this sketch, it's perfect for scrapping these gorgeous photos of her daughter. Liz used some lace, hand-made buttons and acetate shapes to embellish her page. Visit her blog for some close ups.

Caroline

This week Caroline used the sketch to make a celebration card. She wanted to showcase the star lillies stamp for this card. With all the dreary weather they've been having in Florida Caroline wanted to create something with a bright and cheerful look to it. 

Thanks for stopping by Papercraft Star today to get the details on this fun sketch challenge, we look forward to seeing all of your project entries!  Also, if you haven't subscribed to our Papercraft Star Facebook page yet, you can visit it right here to do so!

Today is the last full day of submissions. We will close tomorrow at noon, and then our voting will begin. Don't forget we have that fabulous prize of a year's subscription to Your Paper Pantry for our first place winner this week !!

Let's have a look at what we have "brewing" in our studios today !!

Tracy

Tracy's not a coffee drinker, so she elected to make a project using a cute little tea pot digital image. She colored the teapot with colored pencils and then blended them with odorless mineral spirits. She created a few little handmade roses to complement the rose on the teapot, added a little Stickles and pearls for sparkle, and some soft Tumbled Glass distress ink.

Suzy

Suzy used the beverage theme of the photo inspiration this week, to make a lemonade card for a friend. She created a pocket on the front using patterned paper and brads, to slide in 2 Crystal Light packets that can be added to bottled water. The sentiment is just perfect to lift the recipient's spirits!

Steph

Steph D. was inspired by this week's photo inspiration to create this vintage peculator and cup card. She used similar warm, relaxing colors - dark brown, brown, and blues.

You have until tomorrow noon to link up here ! Voting begins at noon tomorrow, and continues until midnight Monday night. Remember, you now have two votes, one for the submission of your choice, and one for a design team member.
