IC739 {2/1/20} Crayola

[justwritedesigns]

Happy Saturday & welcome to February! It's my pleasure to host the Inspiration Challenge today! This week's challenge is brought to you by Crayola. Don't snicker...I'm thinking more than a few of you still have some crayons. I know I do. Shopping in the kids' section of Joann Michael Lobby has always been a must. I LOVE the kids' department! Almost nothing else in the world makes me as happy as a rainbow of colors. So head on over, pick what appeals  to you (I bet there will be a bunch!) & go create! You may also want to pick an image from the Crayola Pinterest Boards, they have a LOT going on over there. Be sure to link us up to what inspired you. Bonus points if you use an actual crayon in your work :lol:

Here's my card: Pink Christmas Bouquet

Did you know, we have an Inspiration Challenge Pinterest Board ? Be sure to check it out!

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, I've uploaded 5 (or more) of my favorite designs! So just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger and to get their links on SCS.

**Please note: If you are unable to view the Inspiration Site in your country, please use one of the pictures provided for you (thumbnails below) or visit the Crayola Pinterest Boards. Unfortunately, we have no control over the sites' viewing areas. **

How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!

Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining us on this inspiration journey.

So many fun things, the texture of these bags stopped me in my tracks though.

SO much to look at here on the Crayola Pinterest board - I wanted to do something for Valentine's Day so headed to the holiday board and an overwhelming number of pins but finally narrowed it down after 3 hours of romping down the rabbit hole!

I was originally drawn to the blue board but I ended up with a rainbow image and made 2 cards. I had great fun scribbling colours and spritzing and drying and repeating to get my cards

Female Rainbow Birthday

Male Rainbow Birthday

[IndigosMom]

OH my, to try NOT to buy ALL of the things! (Who knew, colored pencils optimized for dark paper? A rainbow of different types of pens for journaling?! OK, keep focused, JJ!)

For my inspiration, I chose this fun image from a tutorial for toddler techniques https://pin.it/pym6zforzvxmlp

Here's the card: IC739 Thank You by IndigosMom at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks for looking!

I saw this quote on the Crayola site somewhere but now I can't find it  for reference.  I took your challenge quite literally, Julie.  Thanks. IC739 F4A519 Interactive Cr...

I am so sorry, everyone! I had to leave unexpectedly this morning & was gone all day. I came home tonight & started to comment & only made it as far as Stacy's card. The extra blah blah gobbledegook in my signature on comments is horrendous! 

[pvilbaum]

Hope my link will work tonight.  Here's my card.
