Top Picks - Challenge #298 - and Reminder Post - Challenge #299 - Clean and Simple

 Hello,

Welcome to our two part post.

First, a reminder that you still have until Friday, Oct. 6 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #299 - Clean and Simple - found HERE. At the time of writing this post, we have 27 fabulous entries! Let's keep the momentum going! Just a reminder that you can also use the optional twist: CAS card with a Movie theme.

We had a delightful array of cards for our Mood Board Challenge. In fact, we couldn't narrow Top Picks down to three so...we're going with four! Thank you to all who joined us; your support and enthusiasm makes us happy!

 Our TOP PICKS are:

Cornelia

Cornelia's neighbourhood is an outstanding take on one of the mood board images. Vibrant and amazing!

Arlene

Arlene's background captures the vibrancy of one of the mood board images. A wonderful background for her Halloween card.

Christy

Christy's patterned background and leaves are a charming way to capture both images and colours from the mood board.

Libeeti

Libeeti's rich colours on her base and leaves is a lovely translation of colors and images from the mood board.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Inkspirational Challenge #298 - Moodboard

Hello,

Welcome back to Inkspirational; we're delighted you're here.

Time for a Mood Board challenge and this one, hopefully, will get your creative juices flowing. We were given permission to use this board from the designer who, in her original posting, described it as being "bright and a little edgy but also rich and deep." Absolutely right! What catches your eye? The images? The colours (the designer focused on magenta, persimmon, powder blue and graphite)?

We'll be back Saturday, Sept. 16th with a Reminder Post and our TOP PICKS from Challenge #297.

Top Picks - Challenge #296 - and Reminder Post - Challenge #297 - Word Prompt - Clothing/Closet

  Hello,

Welcome to today's two part post.

First, our current Word Prompt Challenge - CLOTHING/CLOSET - can be found HERE. Several stylish entries so far; keep them coming!  We  have more inspiration for you, from our lovely teammate, Nonni, with both a card AND a photo of the jacket that inspired it. Soooooo lovely!

If you haven't entered yet - or if you'd like to enter again - the link is open until Friday, Sept. 8th @ 11:59pm (GMT). We'd be so pleased to have you join us and thank you if you already have done so.

Second, we're excited to announce the Top Picks for Challenge #296 - Iridescent. The link closed with a number of shimmery, shiny, glimmery entries and, as always, narrowing down to three Top Picks is not easy. But...choose we must.

Our TOP PICKS are:

Jaydee

Jaydee's iridescent frame is ever so lovely; such pretty sparkle and shine.

Nancy

Nancy's iridescent ornament, and neutral background pairing makes for a gorgeous Christmas card.

Rachelle

The iridescent greens of Rachelle's background make for a most atmospheric Halloween card. The crystal ball adds such a delightful glowing touch.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.
