#10. Focus, People!!

Hi! Welcome to the Paper Plunge! We are a group of great friends from all over the place, who wanted to start a stress-free challenge site. This will be a weekly challenge, and there will always be something here for you to see or try. Individually, as designers, we may not all be here every week because we are busy just like you!! So 'take the plunge' when you can or stop by to be inspired, even if you don't have time to "play". Make sure you don't miss a week of inspiration by subscribing to our site on the right!

Ever hear the expression, "Actions speak louder than words"? Well, this week's challenge is to make the words speak louder than anything else.  This week we would like to see what you can do by making the sentiment the main focus of your project.  We can't wait to see what you create!  In the meantime, here is some inspiration from the Lifeguards:

There are things about this time of year that can get pretty messy:  the weather, the traffic and our kitchens, as we start our baking and prepping for the upcoming holiday season...  This week's challenge is to Keep It Clean.  Create a clean and simple card or project and declutter that mind!  We can't wait to see what you share!

Be inspired by our design team creations!

Just like the theme title for this week's challenge, we want you to know that we are grateful for you!  We are grateful for the sharing that you have done with us, the wonderful comments and compliments we have received from you, and really just grateful that you love crafting as much as we do!  This week you should make a gratitude or Thanksgiving inspired project.  (We know that it isn't Thanksgiving for our Canadian and other non-U.S. visitors, but we know you are grateful too!).  We can't wait to see what you share!
