Inkspirational Challenge #295 - Use Stencils

Hello,

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

For the next two weeks, we're inviting you to have some fun with stencils - basically anything goes in terms of stencil style and theme - but you're also welcome to use the optional twist - Use Layering Stencils. With the wide range of stencils in the craft-iverse, we're sure you'll find something fabulous in your collection to share.

Inkspirational Challenge #294 - Moodboard

Hello,

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

First, a huge shout out to all who played in our Christmas in July challenge; at the time of writing this post, we had 74 fabulous festive cards/projects in the gallery! I think this may be a record number of entries! Thank you so much; you've certainly fired up our spirits! 

Given we're mid-July (already!), the month where many embark on holidays, we have a travel/journey mood board as inspiration for the next two weeks. You can draw ideas from the images, colours, overall travel-theme or whatever else captures your fancy from the board. We'd be happy to see some of your holiday layouts/album pages, too.

Inkspirational Challenge #293 - Word Prompt - Christmas in July

Hello,

Welcome back to Inkspirational; we're delighted you're here. Before sharing new challenge details, a huge thank you to all who played in Challenge 291: Emboss Your Background. We closed with 46 awesome entries! You're making us very happy! 

July 1st...which means we're at (or slightly over) the half-way point to Christmas. That, along with  many craft companies launching their new Christmas releases, means we need to get in on the festive action.  So...our word (okay, words) prompt for the next two weeks is CHRISTMAS IN JULY. 

You can choose any direction you want for this challenge - a 'summer' style Christmas or just regular Christmas or anything in between.  As long as Christmas is your focus, then head right on over to the gallery. 

Let's check out inspiration from the Design Team:
