margaret_loves a finished challenge


I am so glad to have a great group of followers and miniature blogger to join in on my first mini-challenge! With such a new blog, it is amazing to already have found a supportive community to share ideas and inspiration! 
The challenge was based on taking a patterned paper to use as jumping off point for a room or miniature scene. The paper itself should be bold, and possibly chosen at random/out of your comfort zone. It was meant to be a creative challenge, and a challenge it was. I honestly found myself wondering what the heck I was thinking bright pink and animal print? :) It took at least three different setups before I decided to just call it quits, and pick some photos. Here it is, loud and wild...







Frankly, I am relieved to slink back into my comfort zone now that this is over...

Please go and check out the creative and bold designs by my fellow bloggers who also love a challenge!
Mini*Aesthetics created a colorful, modern kitchen
Jazzi Minis designed an eclectic and lovely scene for a faux magazine cover
Mad for Mod is ambitiously building a modern loft bed for an adorable owl themed children's bedroom (with paper selected by her son) 
I am so impressed everyone! Now it is time for one of you to come up with another challenge for us! That's right, I just challenged you to come up with an idea for another challenge!

  3. You rocked it! You made all the right design choices to go with the wild paper. I love it! The paper does give a 3D feel. I thought it was several different papers stacked and staggered in the first post. Now, to find a magazine cover or page or whatever....*smile*

  4. This was an awesome event, and I had all my stuff laid out and fell sick this weekend... perhaps I can still put something together, belatedly, this afternoon.

    Regardless... I really appreciated you setting the challenge, it was fun to think about and really fun to see what other people have done.
