Welcome to The Paper Variety - Challenge One

Here we are, finally hosting our first weekly challenge! Thank you to all who have followed us in the past several weeks and for joining us on this day. We hope you'll return every Wednesday for fun paper craft challenges, lots of inspiration and wonderful prizes donated by our sponsors!

Challenge
Our first challenge is a sketch to follow. It's mainly a layout sketch but 
feel free to use it for your cards and other paper projects, too.

Sponsor
I am delighted to present our very first sponsor, Aphra from
Paper Poppy Kit Co.!

Aphra has generously donated this fabulous kit 
full of gorgeous new papers and fun embellishments. Please join us 
Friday when we'll share more about Aphra and her awesome kit company!

Our fabulous Design Team A 
has created beautiful layouts to inspire you!

Love how April used butterfly shapes rather than squares 
for a super cute whimsical look.

Lisa used items found in this weeks prize. Her stitched title and curled 
paper really add character to this adorable page.

Sarah proves feminine papers can be used for boys to create a gorgeous 
page. Love Sarah's title work and pleated ribbon.

Love Tere's colorful papers and crochet flowers. It's always great 
to see those older photos being scrapbooked so beautifully, too!

Yara also used items found in the prize kit. I totally love this background 
paper and the colors and embellishments are perfect for this 
special family photo.
 
I decided to use black and white photos for this fun and colorful layout. 
I added a stitched frame for a special touch.

Now it's your turn! We hope you'll join us in making our first TPV challenge a great one! Create your paper project following this sketch and add it to the InLinkz below before Tuesday at noon est. Just one entry per person, please. New entries only please - do not backlink to older posts. A winner will be randomly chosen Tuesday evening and will receive the fabulous Paper Poppy Kit Co. prize!

Also, every week on Sundays, Suzanne and I will each choose a project entry from the current challenge to feature here on the TPV blog as a Submission Spotlight! If your project is chosen, you'll receive a special blinky to share on your blog. Coolness, right? :) So try to add your project before Sunday if you'd like a chance to be chosen for a Submission Spotlight!

We're looking forward to seeing all your beautiful creations!
