Have you seen the box at the top of the left side of this page? I am honored to be the first co-host with Shelly of Pics by Shel of this new program. What an honor when I got to choose the theme for this week’s challenge.What better challenge (for me, at least), than rocking horses. After all, I am an avid collector of them. As some of you know, I have a bit over 450. They come in every shape, size, material, and texture. which is my image.
You don't have to look far to find a rocking horse image.
Your child's coloring book may provide everything you need for this challenge.
Do your tastes go to vintage? If so, you might prefer an old postcard
Perhaps you prefer digital.
Would a rocking horse mirror be your inspiration?
Or maybe scrapbook paper is more to your liking.
Rocking horses come in all shapes and sizes, like this zebra
Or this unicorn one
Of course, maybe a plush Panda is more to your liking
Some of you may even want to bake your rocking horse
Of course, you could always appeal to the man in your life with a motorcycle rocker
Whether you work with paint, paper, pen, pencil, ink, clay, beads, wood, fabric, or plushies, Shel and I, Elizabeth, hope this challenge will inspire you to Rock along with us this week.
As always, whether you are new, or play along every week, please add your submission no later than Sunday 12 Noon EST. You do not need to have an Etsy shop to join this challenge. All you need is a blog, a relevant blog entry and a link back to this specific IA challenge entry, not just your blog. Shel and I thank you again for playing along, and I thank the entire IA team in advance for the opportunity to co-host this week.
Also do not forget
We choose one piece every week to feature
Here!!
Maybe this week it will be YOU!!

You ladies both ROCK!! (so sorry, I just had to :)
Elizabeth, thanks so much for being the guinea pig and taking the first guest challenge with Shel, who is also fearless!
I can see this has been a brilliant idea...love love love your post AND the theme. I adore rocking horses, and even have a few, but I never would have thought of it as a theme. All of your examples are wonderful...I am crazy about that zebra though!!
I can't wait to see what creations we will have in our gallery!
What a great collaboration girls!
I just knew Elizabeth would choose rocking horse for her theme...just call me psycho, lol.

How fun! I love the zebra rocking!
Hey there Maggie, Lisa, and Tammy. The pleasure is all mine. I can't wait to visit everyone who joins this challenge, too.
And Lisa, I think that's psychic not psycho, even though it came from your brain (grin).
Wow, wow, wow, I love the samples. A very original and fun challenge!!!!
I went with my first thought ....
