Hey Everyone!

It’s Friday and time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes.

Each Friday the AnnaTeam selects one creative page from the Anna gallery as the weekly ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration page and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordart, or maybe the photo? Choose ONE idea from the page to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. There is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay. Be inspired and create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery. Upload your page by Thursday 01.19.12 by NOON EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift ’ and one lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5 GiftKard to Anna’s shop. The winner will be posted each Thursday here in the forum.

I’m pretty sure the cold dreary winter weather and the desire for Spring temperatures and gorgeous lively colors prompted the AnnaTeam to select this lovely page by Heather Prins as the AnnaLift for this week.

Heather’s page is a wonderful mix of sweet photos beautifully cropped, cool elements and brushes tucked here and there, and pieces of wordart that conveys her heartfelt title. This page is just pure joy and filled with so much artsy inspiration. One of the little details that really caught my eye (besides that darling little face!) was the yellow button placed inside the scribble flower and loopdaloop which repeats the circle shape of the lovely flower in the photo. Now the AnnaLift has no rules and so I throw this out as a gentle suggestion, a mild recommendation, but certainly a strong encouragement to PLAY with a button or two on your AnnaLift and see what unique purpose those little elements could serve on your page.
Check out this great little button tutorial from Anna and Crissy-

I'm so impressed with this week's lifts. I don't know how they can't pick every one of them as a "standout" over at Gallery Standouts! What artistry!
