You will receive a bonus entry in the prize drawing if you use inspiration from all 4 cartoons, but I must be able to see all 4 different inspirations, as you point them out.
Here are your four cartooon inspirations!
The randomly drawn winner of this challenge will receive the Candy Coat Rainbow Bundle generously provided by Brutus Monroe. Thank you, Brutus!

This one is going to be fun! I love all of them! How to narrow it down . . .
OCD is not an adjective. It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized. It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son.

Re: Art_Teacher's NSD Cartoon Character Challenge
Oh wow! I love all of these!!!! This will be fun! I can't decide! Looney Tunes --- my love of classical music started there. Schoolhouse Rock - so many memories and I did grow up to become a copy editor after Conjunction Junction! Scooby Doo is my boy!! I had Scooby underroos but no photos of that LOL! And I went mad for the Smurfs!! One Christmas I wouldn't come out of my room until my little brother peeked to see if I had gotten a Smurf. What a brat LOL!
Happy Scrapping!

Re: Art_Teacher's NSD Cartoon Character Challenge
This layout was inspired by the Smurfs colour scheme of mostly blue with a little red and yellow. I’ve never made such a bright page before so thank you for kicking me out of my comfort zone. I love it!

Re: Art_Teacher's NSD Cartoon Character Challenge
I used the Scooby Doo photo. I used the Scooby font and made a title to coordinate. The background paper is the color of the Mystery van, The retro colors match the era of the show, and the Simply Delicious circle sticker reminded me of the front of the van. We are also in our van and I thought what could be better! Hopefully you can read my journaling...its a play on popular sayings from the show. I went all in!
Thank you for this fun challenge!

Re: Art_Teacher's NSD Cartoon Character Challenge
My inspiration was the School House Rocks cartoon.
My paper reminds of that 1970's school vibe.
