Creative Community Theme Challenge #1: Purple and Black

Amanda23 — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 14:00:28 GMT

Last week, I shared our new collaborative creative community. If you did not read about it, you can check out that post here.

This week, we have our first creative theme challenge. Below you will see a little inspiration for that challenge. You can create in your niche with a product/s that make sense to you. Our suggested deadline is Friday, September 12. After this time, it is my plan to promote our creations on at least one platform, if not more. I'm hoping that those who participate might do so as well! 😊 (Note: Promote for free. I don't pay for advertising, so I want to ensure that is clear.)

Come join us for some fun, and to read some tips about some suggested keywords and resources for planning your creation. In order to see the challenge details, you will need to join with an email (it's free, and there's no upsell. Seriously, I have no courses or digital guides to sell even if I wanted to. 🤣). You will find us HERE: https://ctrlz-amandarenee-shop.fourthwall.com/supporters/posts/154194
Inspiration for our challenge (and why NOW is the time to create with this theme)

I would LOVE to see you submit something, but there is no pressure. My hope is that different challenges might hit different creators' interests and spark some inspiration. Sometimes it's nice to have a little outside spark when we are tired or in a creative slump. 🙂
P.S. Wednesday (though you can't use her name) is a bit of a rebel. I think you might like her. 😜

COPIED FROM THE ORIGINAL GROUP ANNOUNCEMENT:

IMPORTANT!!!!!
We were looking for an even better place for our new group, and we are moving homes!

It will take a couple of days for all of our members to arrive, but if you want to join in the fun, you can find us here: https://ctrlzcreativecommunity.substack.com/ .

I will have more information soon, including the awesome benefits of moving to our new platform, but I wanted to make sure no one joined the old spot and then had to move again in a couple of days. lol

You can start participating right away on Substack. I will be monitoring both sites during this transitional period. If you are new to Substack, don't worry! I will also be sharing a video soon about all the "nooks and crannies" of this powerful platform.

NOTE: Our "newsletter" (I promise, it's much more than that!) is set to private, so I will need to approve your membership. If possible, please make sure your profile includes a link to your Zazzle shop so I know you are not a random spammer.

I will be up for a bit longer tonight, and I will set right to approving more members as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning!

I have no idea why I can't edit my original posts lately.
I decided today to turn off "private" mode, so you should be able to subscribe to the group without requesting approval. I will likely turn this back on in a week or so.

It's not too late to submit your entry for the Purple and Black Theme challenge. Hope you'll get yours in this week. 🙂
