SP6: Once in a Blue Moon: Ginspiration

With 5 Wednesdays in December, it's time for our Once in a Blue Moon Challenge again!

For this extra special challenge, we've asked the Gingers, our Design Team, to give you lots of options for this challenge! So get ready for some

Ginspiration

to get those creative juices bubbling! Each participating Ginger has picked out their very own challenge topic for you! You get to pick which one suits you!

When the challenge closes on January 25, 2011, we will pick 10 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 one of the Ginger's challenges as your theme or inspiration;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post. Don't forget to mention which of the challenges you are completing; 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.

One random winner and ten Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on January 27, 2011. You have until January 25, 2011 to enter!

  14. This a great idea for so many options to select from. My first entry is using Petra´s idea to use up those leftover papers. Mine are from a bookbinding project and I incorporated them into three cards. I will be back to do Jo´s idea of One Layer cards too.
