Challenge #197 - Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!!

Poobah Deena wants you to be influenced by SNOW in all its forms:

FLUFFY, WHITE, SPARKLING, COLD, BLOWING, LACY, LOVELY SNOW
(There's plenty of ways to look at SNOW)

So, the theme is:



Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!!




Electra  here.  I used digital stamps and collage sheets from Gecko Galz, and made something that could have come from the North Pole!


Deena here:
Brrrr...with all the snow storms in the States and the cold weather here, I thought snow men would be a good idea with this challenge...I like the way these two projects turned out the same but completely different by adding some background paper....



Chat Noir here, and I have to tell you, snow is a foreign concept in my part of the world!!  But I can imagine, so I put myself in my favourite childrens book ("The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs) and dreamed a little.  These snowflakes are drifting down in the night sky, glittering in the moonlight and shining like jewels.


and now its your turn....
So from now until December 13th, we want to see what you make of SNOW.

Just create and then add your blog post link below in our comments!

Challenge #196 - Reflection

Poobah Rosemary here and for this fortnight's challenge I want you to consider:

REFLECTION

It's nearly the end of the calendar year and that brings a slew of festive holidays -  in the United States we are almost at Thanksgiving, a time of reflection on the blessings in our lives, other countries have their Thanksgiving holidays earlier in autumn, and then there is Christmas and New Years and we find our thoughts considering what we've done, where we're going, etc.  So, you can look at the challenge that way and perhaps you've learned a new craft, tried a new technique, or have changed a habit, whatever.  Or you might look at the term REFLECTION literally and share with us a craft or art piece that has a reflective quality.

That's the beauty of our challenges, you aren't constricted by us, only your imagination.

Deena here:  this card is my idea of a reflective card...shiny and bright with lots of 3-d layers....plus the girl is reflecting on something dreamy in the image itself...so I think I may have hit both aspects of the challenge :)




Electra  here;  I love reflections.  And I love making digital art.
So I made this...



Rosemary here again and I'm sharing an art journal page of recent reflections and all the different stamps of faces just lent themselves to the process.




So, put on that thinking cap and create art!  We would love to see where your muse takes you on this challenge.
