GC97: Chestnut Theme Challenge - Geishas

We are traveling this month to the wonderful world of the Far East. Travel with us and create your own art with

Geishas

Artwork by Lucy Edmondson

for this challenge! There are so many gorgeous images of these elegant ladies, we are sure you will have fun playing with this great theme.

When the challenge closes on May 1, 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 Geishas 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.

One random winner and seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on May 3, 2011. You have until May 1, 2011 to enter!

Check out the sensational samples from our design team! They were all eager to start a brand-new theme at Gingersnap Creations!
