Gingersnap Creations: Choose Your Challenge!

Pin It

This is a special week over at the Gingersnap Creations Blog: It's the Blue Moon! Okay, maybe it's not technically a blue moon in the astronomical sense, but in the Gingersnapper's sense, it most definitely is. This is the rare 5th Wednesday of the month, so we host a Blue Moon Challenge where we do something unexpected... out of the ordinary... Blue Moon-y!

This is a particularly fun challenge, too-- it's Gingersnapper's Choice! In other words, you get to go back and do ANY Gingersnap Creations technique you wish! That's a whole lotta choice going on, and a chance to stretch your creative muscles in the direction of your choice. What's not to love about that?!

I took the Wayback Machine and landed in July of 2009, when the Citrus Colors Challenge originally posted (I'm a sucker for a color challenge!). Here, we have your lime, your lemon and your orange. It's like a Shasta soda pop convention... or something. Actually, after days and days and days of gray skies and below-normal temperatures, I'm SO beyond ready for anything remotely summery, I latched onto these hot weather colors like a drowning woman would latch onto a hunky lifeguard.

Check out the Gingersnaps Blue Moon Challenge right here, where our Founding Diva, Shar, created a convenient list of links to your many options for creative brilliance! You have all the way through April 26th to play!

Can't wait to see what you choose!

The Specs:
Unity Itty Bitty "Make Life Sweet" stamp set
Copic Sketch Markers in various shades of Y, YR and G
White, yellow, orange and green cardstock
Orange Sakura Glaze Pen for the little dots
Twinery Lemon Drop Baker's Twine
Little black eyelets
