Challenge #37 & #38

For some reason, I totally thought I had posted last week's challenge, but evidently, I have not. That's the problem with working retail this time of year- it scrambles your brain.
So, this week, we have  Two-fer!

For challenge #37, our DT was challenged with using the song "Jingle Bells" as their inspiration... it could be lyrics, the title, anything! Here's an awesome layout from Elisabetta for this one:

For challenge #38, It's in the bag! This week's challenge is to create a set of 3 greeting cards and a gift bag for your friends to get them in a festive mood!

Challenge #36

Since last we had Black Friday & Cyber Monday, the theme of this week's challenge is shopping! But not just any kind of shopping, it's an Ad Challenge! Our DT was challenged with choosing a store's ad ad adapting it to their layout. I find it kinda funny that the ads of choice were both Target ads...

Paula

Took her inspiration from the Target Logo for this sweet layout!

Missy

Used the actual Target Black Friday Ad as a basis for her whole layout! Awesome layers!

Connie

Used an ad of a different sort for this awesome layout!

Hope everyone has fun with this one! Don't forget to share if you're playing along! Also, today is the last day to enter for those guest dt spots, so please email me your layouts! I will be making the decisions & sending out the challenges by the end of next week hopefully :)

Challenge #32

Sorry for the late post of this... computer problems. I have a new laptop now, though, so these problems should be behind me now :)
These next few challenges will be something a little different. We are basing these challenges on the 12 Days of Christmas, but with a twist.
This week, we are focusing on the present list- this challenge is all about that list of the ideal things we want. Your challenge is to create a layout with your list.

Missy

Paula

Connie

Have fun & see you on Wednesday!

We are celebrating Halloween here on Paper Thrills! I know it's my favorite holiday... how about yours? Today's challenge is a theme challenge- create a layout about what scares you! We only have one layout this week to share with you, but it's an awesome one!
