We are a Bi-Weekly challenge blog that will play for fun most weeks. Occasionally there will be a prize given away to one lucky challenge participant. The prizes will come from my scrappy supply online store: The Paper Trail or other sponsors and will be announced with the challenge so that you know if it is a prize challenge or not. Challenges will be announced on two Sundays during the month and you will have until the last day of the month to link your project to that challenge.Thank you for joining us in our journey of leaving behind a paper trail of us for our future generations.

Baptism - by Yara


I created this 12X12 layout based on the photo inspirational challenge. I was inspired in the range of brown colors from both photos.  Somehow, both photos inspired me to dig in my stash of vintage photos. 

I chose several patterned papers and supplies from different manufacturers: Crate Paper - Neighborhood; Fancy Pants - It's the Little Things; Bo Bunny - Time Piece; Pink Paislee - Sweetness - Canvas Borders; Parisian Anthology - Corrugated Elements; Jenni Bowlin - Pearl buttons; Alphabet Stickers: Fancy Pants; ribbon: from a past The Paper Trail kit; journaling die cut: from a past The Paper Trail kit.

I love the vintage feel with the chic style from all these collections, therefore I was inspired to scrap a vintage photo of myself dressed with my baptism dress. First, I cut a non symmetrical square frame approximately 9" X 9" from the Crate Paper patterned paper. Then, I distressed all the paper borders. Then I attached the grid patterned paper with pop dots to the Fancy Pants patterned paper. Next I distressed and attached three paper strips at the left side. I placed two photos, chipboard elements, flowers and the rest of the embellishments.

So, which supplies inspire you to create with, the photos from the challenge? Do you have photos with similar colors and/or style feel? I will love to read your ideas!
