Inkspirational Challenge #305 - Word Prompt - CELEBRATE

Welcome back to Inkspirational; we're delighted to have you joining us.

Hard to believe that Christmas is but nine days away - and in the spirit of this fast-approaching festive event, our Word Prompt for the next two weeks is CELEBRATE. Of course, we're not limiting you to cards/projects for the holiday season; feel free to broaden the theme to any events/images/emotions that speak to celebration.

Inspiration from the Design Team:

Pia and Nonni will be joining us for the Reminder Post.

We look forward to seeing how CELEBRATE inspires you!

We will be back on Dec. 23rd with a Reminder Post and Top Picks for Challenge #304 - Add Glitter. With 50 shimmery, glittery delights in the gallery, selecting Top Picks will be a challenge (a good challenge, indeed)!

Top Picks - Challenge #303 - and Reminder Post - Challenge #304 - Designer's Choice - Add Glitter

Welcome to our two part post.

First, a reminder that you have until Friday, Dec. 15th at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #304 - Designer's Choice - Add Glitter - found HERE. At the time of writing this post, we have 26 lovely, sparkly entries. Thank you to those who have joined us; let's keep the shimmer-and-shine going!

Second, we are totally, completely and utterly blown away by the response to Challenge #303 - SEASONAL, which closed with a total of 136 entries. Definitely a popular theme, especially during the festive season. Of course, this record-breaking number of entries makes narrowing down to three Top Picks very challenging (which is actually a great 'problem' to have), so this time, we're going with five Top Picks, all of which highlighted their seasonal choice wonderfully.

Our Top Picks are:

Inkspirational Challenge #304 - Designer's Choice - Add Glitter

Hello,

Welcome back to Inkspirational; wonderful to have you joining us.

Before sharing details about the new challenge, we have to respond to the previous Challenge #304 - Seasonal - with an OHMYSTARS! The gallery closed with 136 entries! This is definitely a record - and one that makes us super stoked, super thrilled and super happy! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who played along; we have the best participants EVER!!

For Challenge #304, our lovely Pia has selected ADD GLITTER as her Designer's Choice. We're sure that many of you are glitzing and glittering up your festive cards/projects (or other significant occasions that call for some extra glam), so we'd love for you to share them in our gallery.
