Time out challenges and Just us girls.

 Time out challenges has a quote

I decided you can't get much for festive than Santa.

As I'm in the middle of making Christmas cards this is appropriate. 

                                                              **********************

Just us girls has this mood board.

So, we need a winter scene or theme.

I've just finished this mixed media Christmas card with 2 circular pictures featuring a snowy cottage and 2 reindeers in a snowy scene. I think it will be suitable

Shopping our stash

 My next card is for Shopping our stash where they want a masculine card.

With a certain male in mind I made this traditional looking Christmas card.

Tuesday morning sketches

 I'm back on the Christmas card making.

My first one is for Tuesday morning sketches.

I used a cute archway featuring Santa bringing the presents and added 3 hearts at jaunty angles to complete my sketch.

I can see this one working well for children.

Christmas cards.

 This morning I have made several Christmas cards. I sell these for $1 each and donate all money to Medical Research. 

Here's my efforts

This first one is for Simply Ellibelle where they want something for Christmas.

This reindeer is for Christmas cards all year round. I used texture paste and a comb to get the fur look.

Atlantic Hearts

 

Here is the sketch at Atlantic hearts challenge

While on the subject of elephants for my layout I did earlier today I made an elephant card.

It is simple yet I think will get a smile.

I didn't worry about the double trouble challenges. 

Challenege YOUrself

 The theme at Challenge YOUrself is to use a GRID pattern

I used 2 photos (one of me) plus other pieces of geometric paper and a journal card to create a grid pattern.

I placed this in the centre of a diagonal striped paper.

Lasting Memories -art inspiration

 

WE are asked to be inspired by this artwork. Nathaniel Mather. 

I started with the elephant!  

A few years ago, a baby elephant was born at Taronga zoo in Sydney. He walked by shuffling until his legs became stronger. He was nicknamed "Mr Shuffles"

On my layout I featured yellow as my background colour. I added a bird embellishment next to a flower I made (top right)
