Challenge #53

Ahh, spring is in the air! We are celebrating Spring with an Ad Challenge. Our DT was challenged with creating a layout based on this vintage Vogue cover:

Here's what out DT came up with!

Elisabetta

Used the colors and the form on this beautifully!

Connie

Love the floral paper & the way Connie incorporated the colors!

Missy

 The flipped design and patterns everywhere make this a standout layout!

I also have a sad announcement... this will be the last regularly-scheduled challenge posted here on the Paper Thrills Challenge Blog. I started this blog as a repository for ideas, challenges that I, myself wanted to eventually try as I scrapbooked my way through life. I have been doing a lot of soul-searching and the truth is, I haven't been able to scrapbook regularly for over a year because life has taken such a drastic turn and thrown me into ll sorts of things. Running this blog has become more like a chore. I am forever grateful to my Design Team for their hard work in helping me with my challenges, but I feel it's not fair to them when I am not able to get things up in a timely manner. Therefore, it is my decision to discontinue the weekly challenges on this blog. I will leave the challenges up on the site that are here already, so everyone may benefit from them, and I will be possibly adding some when I get a chance to, either here or on our facebook page. I want to keep my options open, so I may start it up again when life calms down, but, for now, there will be no new challenges posted.

Thank you all for playing along!

Challenge #18 - image problem fixed! :)

Sorry this challenge is up a day late- I totally lost track of time yesterday getting ready for vacation :)
This week's challenge is an ad challenge of sorts. What says summer more than a great concert? Your challenge is to create a layout using this vintage concert poster as inspiration:

Our Design Team came up with some pretty awesome interpretations! Thanks for letting me know that my experiment didn't work- everything's fixed now :)

As I mentioned above, I am going on vacation. I will be gone for 2 weeks, so our challenges will pick up again on July 27th. In the meantime, please visit the DTs blogs for some awesome inspiration! You may even find a challenge or two! And please be sure to post links to your layouts in the comments so I can see all our lovely layouts when I get back!

Challenge #1

I want to start off the weekly challenges with one of my favorite types of challenges: an ad challenge. What I love about advertising is that everything on an ad is placed with consideration to what the other content will be. I have been particularly intrigued by vintage ads as of late, so your challenge this week is to create a layout based on this ad:

Have fun & don't forget to post a link to your page in the comments :)
