Challenge #3 is here!

We'd love to see your digital creations as well.

The theme for our second PaperTraders Art blog challenge is "Christmas in July" . You don't have to be a member of Paper_Traders Yahoo Art group to participate but if you would like to join us and be privy to even more great paper crafting swaps & 

challenges plus better than ever artistic support, that would be super!

When the challenge closes, we will pick a winning piece that best showcases the theme of the challenge and/or supply requirement.
