It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a park-loving fan in possession of creativity and inspiration, must be in want of making.

My dear crafters, you must know that our challenge is open to all that might stir the imagination, inspired by or connected to the allure of a theme park.

“Which do you mean?” said Makira, turning round to cast a momentary glance at Eden. Then, with a smile, she added, “All parks are tolerable, but for this occasion, we shall tempt our players with images inspired by the sweetest of days—Valentine’s Day.”

Our talented designers set to work with great enthusiasm. Their lively and playful imaginations found delight in all things crafty, and the month passed most pleasantly for our design team. Should you find yourself admiring their work, we humbly request that you pay a visit to their profiles and bestow upon them your kind and gracious comments.

CZ is an avid artist. Here she clearly is inspired by the color pink in the inspiration photo above.

Eden immersed herself in crochet, crafting this stunning sweater inspired by the vibrant hues from the photo, especially captivated by the rich reds and greens.

Makira is a big fan of paper crafting. She created a beautiful card & envelope duo inspired by the colors in the inspiration photo and themed after Owl Post in Hogsmede at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Oh! My dear crafters, what a most delightful month we have before us, and we do so hope you shall join in. Fetch your art and craft supplies, and create something truly beautiful.

I am quite delighted with how our words have transformed. They are excessively elegant! And possesses the style of a most charming wordsmith. I dare say, can you deduce who? This, indeed, is just what a true crafter ought to do—scribble down your guess below! What a delightful pastime, and with such a splendid prize for one fortunate soul!

We wish all crafters the very best of success with all our hearts; and should you join us on the morrow, we shall eagerly await your makes.

And Makira and Eden were both ever sensible of the deepest gratitude towards those who, by joining them in the realm of creativity, had united them in this most delightful challenge.
