My sister and I always loved the Christmas celebrations in the cartoons we watched growing up. There was something magical about those special episodes, the way even futuristic families (like the Jetsons!) found time to trim their trees, share gifts, and spread cheer among the stars.
For this challenge let’s celebrate that same cartoon Christmas magic!
Your challenge:
1. Create a layout that captures the warmth and wonder of Christmas or any other holiday.
2. Add a retro or futuristic twist, think stars, metallics, planets, robots, or anything that gives a nod to those classic cartoon worlds.
3. Include something that feels “animated” it could be bright colors, movement in your design, or a playful embellishment that brings your page to life.
Now it’s your turn!
Power up your space pod, grab your glitter glue, and let’s see your Christmas magic blast off into orbit!
