Challenge #329 - Word Prompt - Santa

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

According to the calendar, we are about 39 days to Christmas and it will be here in a blink. We know many of you have started - or finished - your Christmas/Holiday cards, but for those who need a little extra oomph or those who love Christmas creating, our Word Prompt Challenge may have exactly the inspiration you need: SANTA. Anything Santa-themed, be it Santa himself, Santa clothing, Santa mustache and beard, Santa glasses, Santa expressions, etc., is welcome.

Inspiration from the Design Team:

Marina

Pia

We *Ho Ho Ho* hope that we've inspired you to play along with us.

What style of SANTA will you share? Looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.

The Link will be open until Friday, November 29 @ 11:59pm (GMT)

We'll be back on Saturday, November 23, with a Reminder Post and Top Picks for Challenge #328.

Top Picks Challenge #327 and Reminder Post - Challenge #328 - Designer's Choice - Layer It

Welcome to our two part post.

First, a reminder that you have until Friday, Nov. 15 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #328 -Designer's Choice - Layer It - found HERE.

Second, Challenge #327 closed with 91 (yes, you read that correctly!) delightful Seasonal-inspired cards/projects. Every season and an accompanying occasion was represented; so many ideas for year-round card-making. Thank you so much for embracing this theme with such enthusiasm. As usual, selecting top picks is a challenge when you're all so deserving of being highlighted.

Our Top Picks:

Stef

Stef's snowy winter night scene captures the winter/holiday season wonderfully; such a beautiful card.

Pauline

Pauline's soft, vintage Christmas ornaments card is a work of art; her painting with distress oxides is absolutely amazing.

Janja

Janja describes her card as as taking us "to the sea on a sunny autumn day" and she has accomplished precisely that with her lovely, tranquil, seasonal scene.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Challenge #328 - Designer's Choice - Layer It

Happy November (where has the time gone!) and welcome back to Inkspirational. We're delighted you're joining us.

For the next two weeks, we're inviting you to draw inspiration from Carol's Designer's Choice prompt: LAYER IT. Layered die cuts, layering stencils, layering stencils with layered die cuts, layer cakes (made with layering stencils and die cuts LOL), layers of clothes, layer of ink...as long as we can see, or you can explain to us, how you've 'layered it', you're more than welcome to join the gallery.
