September 2024

If you give a crafter a challenge, she’s going to ask for inspiration to fuel her creativity.

When she looks at the inspiration photo, she will be so excited that she will want to create something of her own. She’ll ask for stamps & ink.

While deciding what to create, she will think of theme parks and want to take a trip to sunny Orlando, FL, where she will want to visit Epcot. Once there, she’ll be tempted by the delicious food and delightful wines from around the world. As she savors these international treats, she’ll find herself celebrating flavors from far and wide. And when she tastes and experiences Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival, she will surely be inspired.

If you give our designers a project, they’re going to get busy. Once they’re busy, they’ll create wonderful things. Let’s see what they’ve made to spark our imagination!

When you see these wonderful makes, you’re going to want to leave a comment. When you leave a comment, you’ll need to click on the person’s name. So please remember to click on the person’s name and leave these wonderful girls some comment love.

Eden is an avid crafter. She is clearly inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy:Cosmic Rewind at Epcot at Disneyworld, FL
Makira is a big fan of paper crafting. She was inspired by the colors in Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival brochure above.

If you want to join us, you’ll need to take out your art and craft supplies. When you have your supplies, you’ll make something inspired by a theme park. After you finish, you’ll add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post or share it on Instagram with #parkhoppingmyhappyplace.

When you start crafting, I’ll be excited to see what you create this month! And if you need a little extra help to spark your creativity, check out our inspiration page.

While reading this post, you’ll have noticed we’ve changed the words on our blog and will probably want to guess who the mimic author is. When you have a guess, you’ll want to scribble it down below.

Then you will be off to create. Which means you have been inspired. When you finish your make, you’ll probably want to come back for more. When you come back for more, you’ll find new ideas and inspiration.

If you give a crafter a challenge, she’s going to ask for inspiration to fuel her creativity, and that is just the beginning.

But for now, it’s time to say goodbye. We hope you’ve had as much fun as we have! Until next time, keep creating and exploring. Goodbye for now, Makira!
