Take 5 Challenge - July Features!

We love that you all play along with the monthly challenges here at Paper Issues!  We also love to share those projects that you submit!!!  Here's just a few from the July Take 5 Challege...

First up is this adorable page by Karen Tarpley. She used a layout from one of the June challenges as her design inspiration. Great idea, Karen! Her 5 items are a stamp, alpha letters, patterned paper, a star and cardstock.

Rita Russello shared this Christmas layout. I love that she made a holiday page using our inspiration and idea list that had a patriotic theme! Rita used the colors red and white, cardstock, star, patterned paper, sequins, chipboard and polka dots.

Now we switch to a summer layout! Jenny Hadell's beach page uses the colors blue and white, patterned paper, stamps and a punch. I really like the stamped background and those cute punched butterflies.

Mariana Chavez is new to our Friend & Fans facebook community, but jumped right in to play along with the challenges. Her layout has a combination of the colors white and blue, a tag, alpha letters and patterned paper. Thanks for sharing your darling layout with us, Mariana!

Next up is this wonderful layout by Jana McCarthy. Look at that fabulous hand stitched star!! Along with the star, Jana added in alpha letters, a tag, stamp and a black & white photo.   

And last but not least, is this pocket page style layout from Sarah Barber that uses the color red, a stamp, alpha letters, patterned paper and stripes. Sarah said she finally has her mojo back after taking a few months off from scrapbooking. We're glad your creating again, Sarah and are happy you shared your layout with us!
