It's gift card time again Cherries! The challenge is to pick a gift card from the selection below and use it for inspiration for your layout, card, planner, or craft project. You can be inspired by any aspect of the gift card… the colors, objects on the gift card, and/or the design itself. Please let us know which gift card image you chose and what it was about it that inspired you. And most of all… have fun! 

           

Open to paper, digi, cards, planners, crafts, or whatever this inspires you to create. 

Since there are a lot of gift cards to choose from I am allowing multiple submissions up to a limit of 8, as long as each submission is from a different gift card… no multiple submissions from the same gift card. Because I am allowing so many submissions I will be picking multiple winners.

You may combine with one other challenge that allows combining and you may also add to the Prompts Challenge if there is one.

Since I am posting this so late in the month I am going to be running it into January. I like to give 2 full months because there are so many choices. Post your submission to this thread by January 19th. Multiple random winners of all participants will receive a $5 ACOT GC from me!

I hope you all have fun with this and get lots of inspiration from these gift cards.

I am finding all these gift cards so inspiring and had trouble picking which one I wanted to use for my layout. The one I did choose is the Walmart Halloween gift card. I was inspired by the tan background along with it's orange, yellow, and black colors, and the touch of green in the cats eyes inspired a few of the flower centers (one of the beauties of digi, changing colors). I also was inspired by the Halloween theme, especially the hanging spider and the jack-o-lantern. Pic is of my sweet JJ dressed as Wednesday Addams, just before going out to trunk or treat this past October. I hope to do more layouts using some of the other gift cards as inspiration, and if I do get to doing any I will post them here.

The Walmart Halloween card sounds like it was a perfect choice for your layout, especially with the Halloween elements and the colors.

[Karyn_Sue]

I know this is gonna sound a little out there, but the Walmart "just because" GC reminded me of a coast line, specifically the Normandy Beaches.



So it inspired me to do this layout about the WWII museum Normandy Beach landing exhibit.
