Art_Teacher's NSD Cartoon Character Challenge

Post by Art_Teacher »

Some of you guessed from my 3rd hint that I grew up in the era of Saturday Morning Cartoons.  This challenge is to draw inspiration from one of the cartoons below and create a layout with at least one photo and journaling.  You can be inspired by the theme, the colors in the logo, The title graphics, one of the characters, etc.  Your journaling must be at least 3 sentences.  Please post back here and let us know which cartoon you used and how it inspired you.

You will receive a bonus entry in the prize drawing if you use inspiration from all 4 cartoons, but I must be able to see all 4 different inspirations, as you point them out. ;)  

Here are your four cartooon inspirations!

Rules:
*Must be a new layout with at least one photo.
*Open to paper, digital, or hybrid layouts.
*NO COMBINING with other NSD or monthly challenges PERMITTED except for the NSD 25 Item Challenge and May/June Bi-Monthly Inspiration Challenge. 
*Your submission must be loaded to the gallery challenge spot I've provided (when you are uploading, be sure to check the box to enter it in Art_Teacher's NSD Cartoon Character Challenge), by 11:59, May 17th (EST) to be entered in the prize drawing.

This one is going to be fun!  I love all of them!  How to narrow it down . . . 😆
OCD is not an adjective.  It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized.  It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. 💙 I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son. 💙

Oh wow! I love all of these!!!! This will be fun! I can't decide! Looney Tunes --- my love of classical music started there. Schoolhouse Rock - so many memories and I did grow up to become a copy editor after Conjunction Junction! Scooby Doo is my boy!! I had Scooby underroos but no photos of that LOL! And I went mad for the Smurfs!! One Christmas I wouldn't come out of my room until my little brother peeked to see if I had gotten a Smurf. What a brat LOL!
Happy Scrapping!

This layout was inspired by the Smurfs colour scheme of mostly blue with a little red and yellow. I’ve never made such a bright page before so thank you for kicking me out of my comfort zone. I love it!

I used the Scooby Doo photo.  I used the Scooby font and made a title to coordinate.  The background paper is the color of the Mystery van, The retro colors match the era of the show, and the Simply Delicious circle sticker reminded me of the front of the van.  We are also in our van and I thought what could be better!  Hopefully you can read my journaling...its a play on popular sayings from the show.  I went all in!

Thank you for this fun challenge!

My inspiration was the School House Rocks cartoon.
My paper reminds of that 1970's school vibe.
