Snow!

Challenge #197 at
The Order of the Opus Gluei 

is SNOW!

We have snow in Canada.

MOST of the year, it seems.

Naah, that's an exaggeration.

Some folks south of us think we live in igloos
(honest!  I was asked that once!)

But we have real houses.

Some with fireplaces.

God bless the fireplaces.

Hi folks!

It's been weeks since I created anything and let me tell you, 

I AM FEELING IT!

Not a good feeling, either.

So it seemed like the perfect way to get back 

into the swing of things by being a 

Guest Designer for

My Artistic Adventures 

Challenge #13

with a Christmas Theme!

I made some fun ATC's:

The bases for the ATC's are Heather's 

Vintage Victorian Chic Shabby  

Christmas Bingo ATC Cards

and can be found

here 

Those adorable trees are her 

Non Traditional Christmas Tree tags 

and are available 

here in her awesome Etsy shop!

The sweet little girls are from the

Christmas Joy Collage Sheet

and can be found in the

Gecko Galz

Etsy shop

Here are my ATC's in more detail:

Aren't they fun??

(if a little bit blurry)

Reflections

Poobah Rosemary has invited us, in this time

of Thanksgiving and family to reflect on our blessings

and create something with the following theme:

 REFLECTIONS

 

That, my friends is Challenge #196 at

The Order of the Opus Gluei

I took her idea literally and altered a photo of a lake that I took

a very long time ago...

 and I suspect the woman is deep in thought.

I hope you join in with our challenge.
