Top Picks Challenge #369 and Reminder Post - Challenge #370 - Word Prompt - Leftovers

   Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, July 3 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #370 -Word Prompt - Leftovers found HERE.  If you've joined us already, thank you (and please feel free to join again); if you haven't, we'd love for you to do so. 

Second, we had a small showing for Challenge #369 (after some reflection, I think this should have been a Fall challenge. Lesson learned), but each of the 9 entries were delights of creativity and ingenuity. 

As always, selecting Top Picks is a challenge but...choose we must. 

Our Top Picks:

Karen's frog, flowers and mushrooms are a most delightful, pretty take on the woodland image.

Jane's Christmas gnome is ever so dapper in classic red and green - and how eye-catching the stylized woodland she created for him.

Jolanda clearly drew inspiration from the 'woodland' feature of the image; such a vibrant, fresh interpretation.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Inkspirational Challenge #370 - Word Prompt - Leftovers

Welcome to Inkspirational: we're delighted you're joining us.

For the next two weeks (June 20 - July 3), our Word Prompt is LEFTOVERS. This challenge invites you to rescue scrappy bits and odds-and-ends - paper, ephemera, embellishments, etc. -  from previous projects and repurpose them so they become the stars of a brand-new card/project. Show us how your creativity can turn "leftovers" into something extraordinary.

Inspiration from the Design Team:






Looking forward to seeing how your leftovers become the 'main course' of a crafty composition.
*****
The Link will be open until Friday, June 3 @ 11:59pm (EST).

We'll be back on Saturday, June 27 with a Reminder Post and Top Picks for Challenge #369.

Top Picks Challenge #368 and Reminder Post - Challenge #369 - Visual Prompt - Woodland Gnome

  Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, June 19 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #369 -Visual Prompt - Woodland Gnome found HERE.  If you've joined us already, thank you (and please feel free to join again); if you haven't, we'd love for you to do so. 

Second, we're delighted to report you created 53 - yes, fifty-three - amazing entries for Challenge #368. We had no idea that the *For the Guys* theme would be so popular; you certainly outdid yourselves! Thank you!

As always, selecting Top Picks is a challenge, especially when the gallery is *this* impressive. Choose we must, though.

Our Top Picks:


Esther has captured a variety of masculine-themed elements and images in her woodland card. "For the Guys" is clearly present here. 

Deborah's background paper is the perfect fishing spot for her fun stick-like figure fisherman. Artistic and charming, indeed.


Jane's trio of tie tags is just plain fun; a little something to add to a gift for those special guys in our lives.

 
Deanna's dad-and-daughter silhouette card made is sweetness to the max and made all the more special in being a shaped card.
