Hello aArtists!

It’s time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes. The AnnaTeam selects a creative page or design concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Be inspired, create your own ‘AnnaLift,’ upload your page to the Anna gallery and include it here in this forum thread. Upload your page by Friday 05.27.22 by 8:00 pm EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift. ’ One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5.00 GiftKard to Anna’s shop.

HOW IT WORKS: On Saturday the AnnaTeam posts a creative concept from the Anna gallery as the ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordART, or maybe the photo? Then enjoy artfully playing—there is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay.

Choose ONE idea to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. Be inspired, create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery, plus include it here in this forum thread. It would be great if you could link back to your page in the gallery too!

Anna’s products mix well with so many kits/designers and Anna welcomes you to include these with your Anna Products on your AnnaLift page.

If you’ve never challenged yourself to an AnnaLift—just do it!

If you’ve never posted or shared your AnnaLift—just do it!

If you have time to leave some love for someone in the gallery—do it too!
(Your kind words may inspire and encourage someone!)

Please post your art in this thread and link to the Anna Aspnes gallery to win the $5 giftcard.

Peeking through the Blinds by lizr

In Peeking through the Blinds, lizr creates a scene through the blinds of her window. The curious Rosy Bulfinch peers through the blinds. The image of the bird retains the light and dark of the blinds. A clean type gently records the impressions of the moment. Multimedia flowers decorate the view and add a contrasting dimension. Lizr has created a gorgeous image to inspire our artistry.

Thank you, lizr, for sharing your expressive and inspirational artistry.

IDEAS TO INSPIRE: Use ONE or MORE of the following in your AnnaLift layout.

• Capture the image outside your window. . .
• Use bold or subtle stripes on your photo or ground . . .
• Blend the photo with FotoBlendz and a BlendingMode. . .
• Add MultiMedia Elements for accents to your photo. . .
• Journal in a clean line and repeat . . .
• Add buttons or threads or stems for dimension. . .

Upload your page by Friday at 8:00 pm (EST) with the title, ‘AnnaLift ’ and one page will be randomly selected to win a $5 GiftKard to Anna's store. The winner will be posted here on SATURDAY.

I love @lizr 's design, but also wanted to put my trip story in my book while it's still fresh, and I took this photo early this morning. So I let it decide my direction. I'm already thinking about coming back with something done with stripes, so we'll see if I have enough pages. As for birds, I put a few baby quail in the lower right corner of the window, kind of like an easter egg for the page. ;)

Thank you Nancy for choosing my layout, amazing. The stipes were made with a black and white paper of Annas from AP SpecialOne.

I scrapped this photo of my daughter's cat that I took a couple of years ago; the light shining through the blinds landed on him, the carpeting next to him, and the louvered doors behind him. Thanks for the great inspiration!

Beautiful use of the lighting! I love the painterly mask to frame the photo!
