Welcome to the Project Ideas Newsletter Challenge. Every Monday, we will design a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. Your challenge – is to use our piece as inspiration and make it into a card, scrapbook page, or other project. You can use the layout, the colors, an element you like…it can look like our piece, or nothing at all like our piece. We want to see where YOU take this. This challenge is strictly a “work from your stash” challenge. This week, I designed this Happy Fall Tree card.
As a newsletter subscriber you will have received a link to a private web page, from which you can watch the video tutorial. Please note that the video tutorial will be available for general viewing for one week only – and then will be moved into our library for our members only. In order to ensure you don’t miss any more of our Project Ideas Newsletter Challenge video tutorials, please be sure you sign up for our FREE email newsletter from the top right sidebar of this blog. If you didn’t receive the newsletter then please be sure to email us to confirm your subscription.
Every Monday, here on the blog, we’re going to post a picture of our project. You will have ONE week to upload your challenge piece. Instead of a weekly prize though, we’re going to award a prize monthly. So for each week you participate and each project you submit – you will get one entry into our monthly draw. On the first Monday of each month – we will announce one challenge winner, who will be featured as a guest designer on the Paper Crafter’s Library blog as well as our Facebook page. As a guest designer, we’ll feature your biography, some of your favorite paper crafting projects and we’ll link to your blog.

Andrea, this card is sooo gorgeous. I love the colors and how you used the striped paper with the stripes going horizontally. The addition of the dots to show movement of the leaves is an excellent idea. Thanks for the terrific video.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your site. You have some really great posts and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love to write some content for your blog in exchange for
a link back to mine. Please shoot me an e-mail if interested.
Many thanks!
This card is absolutely stunning, Andrea. Fall is my favorite time of year and the colors you used are fabulous. Every little detail is so well thought out. PCL does the best videos ever. Everything is explained completely. The card makes me want to get out and rake leaves, drink some hot tea and make some soup! Very nicely done, but I expect that from all of you at PCL. 😉
I just love how you tie everything together to create such a wonderful card.
Lovely fall card!
I love the colors used when creating this card and the falling leaves are just the perfect touch. I’d love to receive this card. So bright & cheery.
