GC61: Chestnut Theme Challenge - Heat

We all know that Gingersnappers are all hot artists! Now, we are going to challenge you to prove it in this month's Chestnut Theme Challenge by using

H E A T
as your inspiration!


Artwork by Sharon Briss

Think hot thoughts! Create steamy scenes or use hot colors or incorporate quotes about heat, fire, or flame. Don't sweat it! We know we are going to see some smoking hot art with this challenge!

When the challenge closes on August 1, 2010, we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using heat as your theme or inspiration;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use the linky application below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.

The randomly drawn winner, who will become the Home Page Artist, and the seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on August 3, 2010. You have until August 1, 2010 to enter!

Our design team was really cooking with this one!
