Challenge #223 - Walking the Tightrope

Ever want to just run away and join the circus?  Well, you probably can't realistically do that but you can have fun with a circus type theme, right?  (okay, not the same thing, but work with us)


Our theme is

WALKING THE TIGHTROPE

Share with us whatever this inspires in you
Be it the Circus, Carnival, Mardi Gras, Animals, Rides
Heck, perhaps you can get all creative with this and think of a project you made for a friend or loved one going through a tough time (you know, walking the tightrope of stress and responsibilities)


What were the Poobahs inspired to create with this theme?  Let's see...

nothing calls out circus to me than the big top and tickets to the games and events inside that big red tent - hence the ticket card in all my favorite circus colours.





Link up to your creation in the comments below.  You've got until March 27 to share your crafty goodness with us!

Challenge 222 - Photo Inspiration

Every four years we get an extra day in the calendar, so why not spend that extra day doing something freeing - like creating art or enjoying a craft?

Here's something to give you a jump start (or should it be LEAP start for leap year?)

Our theme is - PHOTO INSPIRATION

For this challenge we are asking you to create with this as your inspiration.  Use what ever medium you enjoy and however you interpret this photo inspiration.
Is this peaceful to you?  Lonely? 
Do you immediately gravitate to the colors of the rocks, the skyline, or the sky?
Sunrise or sunset?

Let's see what the Poobahs were inspired to make

I chose to follow along with the colours from the picture and the earthy feel of the wood background...

Chat Noir sneaking in just a little late with some cards I made that use some of the glorious colours of this image.  The first thing I did was hunt through the shelves to look for the papers.....oh dear, I wont need to buy anything for a l-o-n-g time.  But to get to the point....two general purpose cards to add to my stash:

So what will you create?

Please add a link to your blog post and project in the comments to this post.
