#23. Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' - Keep them Brayers Rollin'

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!

We just keep 'a rollin' along around here.  Sometimes it's roll with the punches or get rolled over - but this week is just a little different.  We are asking you to roll along with us - with your brayer, that is...   This is a great technique for adding color with depth and texture to a project, and we wanna see how you do it!  Be sure to share what you make with us!  Until we meet again, "pardner", here are some brayer projects to get you rolling!

#22. It's Not Too Late in the Game to SCORE!

The assist is nice, but let's face it, everybody loves to score...  Wait a minute... we aren't talking March Madness here... we are talking scoring as a design element in crafting!  That's right!  Now I remember!  If you are looking to score this week, you better make it snappy - tomorrow at noon is the final buzzer!  If you need some coaching, check out the Lifeguards plays below!

This week we are challenging you to REALLY score!  Scoring is a great way to add a bit of dimension or texture to an otherwise simple piece.  We would like to see what you can do when scoring is a larger design element to your project... Be sure to get your project uploaded before Wednesday at noon, because that is when our link closes!  Meanwhile, here's what we have for you for a little inspiration...

Nothing steps up a project quite like embossing.  You can take a flat and simple card and turn it into a "wow" with just a crank of the Big Shot or a moment with a heat gun.  There are several different types of embossing too, heat and dry - (above)are just the two most common types!  This week at the Paper Plunge we are busy embossing, and would love to see what you create!  Here are the Lifeguards' inspiration projects for you this week:
