The Paper Funday Challenge #80 - Sep 2025

Hi Friends! Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.  Our generous sponsors this month are Newton's Nook Designs and Alex Syberia Designs.  Our challenges are Always Anything Goes with Optional Twists, and the twist this month is:  Changing Seasons.

For my design team project, I've used the Echo Park Welcome Fall Collection Kit to create this card (along with several others) using the Optional Twist, and I'm loving the rich Autumn hues.

I've followed a sketch from Kendra's Card Challenges and let the ephemera and pretty papers from the kit do all the work on this card.  As I stated earlier, I made several Autumn themed cards using this kit and plan to send to my September swap buddies.  

The team and I hope you'll join us over at The Paper Funday Challenge, we love seeing everyone's creativity.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

September 2025 Inspiration Station Challenge

Hello Friends!  I'm so behind in my design team projects and I have to thank my teamies for putting up with me.  On Monday the 1st of Sep, a new challenge month started at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  The inspiration photo this month is appropriate for the season most of us are coming in to:

Wow, the colors in this scene are so rich and vibrant! I'm jealous that I don't get to experience a true Autumn living in Florida.  For my design team project, I used Autumn themed papers from the Echo Park Welcome Fall Collection Kit to create my card.

I followed a sketch from Kendra's Card Challenges, used ephemera from the kit and added sequins from my stash to create this quick and easy Autumn card.

The team and I hope you'll join us at the Challenge this month. We're excited to see what your take is on our inspiration photo.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
