It's week 3 already! Can you believe it???

This designer challenge will run the entire month of April. The goal is to make a paper a day. If you don't have time everyday to participate, that's okay; there will be wiggle room to play catch up. Everyday I will post a theme for you to use. Before we start you can give some thought to what color palette you would like to use and what you'd like to do with your finished product, which should be 30 papers. (Here's a link to my pinterest board for color palettes.)

In this thread you may post:

Questions and comments on completing each paper theme.
Finished papers and/or templates. You may of course post small thumbnail images if you are saving the finished product for something.
I'll post a new thread each week so that things don't get too out of hand.
Don't worry if you're behind or starting in the middle, feel free to share whatever you make.

This one was quick because I already had a plaid that I made for my multi-pattern paper. I'm glad, because I still have four to catch up on from when I was away at school this weekend!

Marisa, would you possibly be willing to post the challenges for the week. I have lots of time tonight to design, but the reminder of the week is looking more sketchy. I'd love to be able to keep up with things (have enjoyed learning new techniques).

Ok. I've filled in the rest of the week to give people a head's up on what's coming. Also, if you're behind you don't have to worry about catching up. You can just jump in the middle. At this point you'd still get about 15 papers, which is nothing to be shy about!
