Welcome back for another Festive Friday!
We made a major shake-up at Festive Friday! The Design Team really likes the idea of a challenge centered around fun and unusual holidays and festivities. But, we all felt that the and/or style was limiting and that players (and potential players) might find it difficult to be inspired without more direction. (Maybe that’s you?) Soooo, we changed up the challenge style and are presenting an Inspo List to help you create. Each Inspo List will be ten elements that are associated with the featured festivity. Players pick three or more elements to incorporate into their project. It’s that simple!
Let’s take a look at the new Inspo List board!

As you can see, the Inspo List contains elements that you might associate with pirates since the festivity is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Get it? I hope you love the new, improved challenge! After seeing the Design Team projects, I know it’s going to unleash a TON of creativity for everyone who plays along!
