WINNER!
Using random.org - the winning entry is #3 - teenybop61!  I'll get your $5 gift card sent tomorrow afternoon!

Growing up in the 80's and 90's - this was definitely one of my favorite shows and board games.  I wanted to appear on the tv game show so much!  I can say that I probably learned more about geography and world facts from this show than most of my time in school.  This show made me want to learn!  And I'm hoping this challenge will make you want to create!!

This is Carmen Sandiego - there's many concepts of her but the one we are going to focus on is Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?  She's a fictional villian that is the ringleader of the criminal organization V.I.L.E., crooks who go around stealing world treasures and artifacts like the Great Pyramid in Egypt or the Great Wall in China, the Washington Monument in D.C. or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.  
Each month, I will pick a specific location that Carmen has been seen and you are to take inspiration from that location and make a project.  You could be inspired by maybe the colors that are reminiscent of that location or the flag of the country, something about the geography of the location - for example if she was seen in Paris - you could take inspiration from the long Seine River and have a long title for your page or maybe you're inspired by the Eiffel Tower and you have tall design elements for your project.  Maybe she was seen in Dallas and you could be inspired by the Dallas Cowboys  star emblem or rodeos?  There is bound to be a ton of things you could be inspired by for the locations.

The Rules:
 For each new project, you will be entered to randomly win a $5 ACOT gift card.  In addition, some months there will be a bonus element or idea for an entry for a stash goodie bag.  BONUS element activated for September!
You may enter this challenge a maximum of 3 times.  Each entry must use a different source of inspiration.
Challenge is open to layouts, cards, decor projects, etc.  - if you aren't sure, just ask!
You may combine with any monthly challenge that allows and also the bi-monthly challenge.
Please post your entries here in this post.
All submissions are due by October 31,  2024 @ 11:59pm EST
Any questions, feel free to ask!  


Carmen was spotted in Tennessee!  No one knows if she was headed to Franklin for their Pumpkin Fest or maybe towards the Smoky Mountains to see the beautiful fall foilage and Dolly Parton.  She might have been headed towards Memphis to visit Graceland and have bbq at the Rendezvous.  Or maybe towards Knoxville to see the BEST university - The University of Tennessee Volunteers play football or a little further up the road to the Tri Cities area to the Bristol Motor Speedway.  She could possibly be headed towards Chattanooga to the Chattanooga Choo Choo or maybe to Nashville to the Grand Ol' Opry and all the honky tonks!  

All's I know is she was last spotted in Tennessee - there's lots of inspiration to be had...

Carmen decided to hit lower Broadway in Nashville and spent the day sippin' Tennesse Honey whiskey while listening to "American Honey" by Lady A!
