Sending and delivering hugs, one card at a time...

We are introducing a new annual feature to the challenge blog from August-December.  We know that there are a lot of amazing sites to choose from when seeking inspiration, and we ALL only have so much time in any given week to create.  We want to offer challenges that will spark an idea for a card for any occasion you may need, but also spark an idea for a Christmas/Holiday card for your friends, co-workers or loved ones.  It is so busy from July-December, we want to encourage you to create/work "smarter not harder" (insert big smiley face), and if our challenges can give you inspiration for both, maybe you will have inspiration to motivate ALL of us to have some handmade Christmas/Holiday cards or tags come Holiday time!  

So,  each week we can't wait to see if you are inspired by the photo "IB" challenge, the Christmas/Holiday photo "IBC" challenge, or the sketch (you can use the sketch ANY way you like, and we have great sketch interpreters among us!)

Ready to take a look at the photos? (As always, the sketch is at the end of the inspiration from the DT).

                  How are you inspired this week?  Are you inspired to create a card inspired                          by the IB photo or are you inspired to attempt the IBC photo?  And                maybe you love sketches, and will be inspired to interpret the Sketch below?  We                                                                          can't wait to see!

                          Colors? Mouse? Mickey? Mickey's Clothes? Cookies? Sketch? Minnie? 

                               Christmas/Holiday?Balloons? Kids' Birthday? Disney?

            We welcome your submissions for this challenge until Wednesday, August 18th, 11:55pm pst. The winner of each challenge is announced on                   Sunday after the new challenge opens.
