Create + Win: Up and Away Ephemera Challenge
While browsing our e-crafting.com ephemera collection on my break today, I became instantly enamored with the brand-new editions of beautiful balloon images by Calico Collage. Carried away in a cloud of inspiration, my mind pondered the ways in which artists could use these vintage pieces to “uplift” their next creative project.

What a great challenge! This one is of particular interest because my dad is a balloon pilot. Can’t wait to get started! :)
This is truly wonderful. Thanks very much for the $5.00 discount–every little bit helps! I love your digital ephemera and the challenge is just what I need to focus my attention on–I am grateful more than you could possibly know.
Thank you for the discount! I am inspired to let my dreams drift with this one~
:D
What a fun challenge! So nice to have a $5 discount. Great weekend project!
Oh yes – what a fun challenge and a free download too! Thank you!
Not enough notice!
Are the emailed entries being acknowledged? I am anxious to know if my entry was received after I put so much time and effort into the creation. I asked before, but I have still received no acknowledgement and my comment disappeared after a few days. Thank you.
Awsome ideas!
