*KLOSED* AnnaLift (12.16.11-12.22.11)

[donnagoar]

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 12.22.11 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.

Here it is mid-December already and the Holidays are upon us. As we rush to get it all done these days the AnnaTeam paused for a moment and enjoyed the beauty and the message in this stunning page by ‘annette.’

Annette’s gorgeous Christmas tree filled with creative lighting and color is so unique and festive and the sweet angel and her message of ‘all is calm and all is bright’ gives this page the magical feel of the season. This week the AnnaTeam wants you to fill the Anna gallery with your unique and clever Christmas trees. Check out ‘annette’s beautiful page and then check out Anna’s amazing art kits and see where your creative tree trimming ideas lead you. You can decorate your tree with a ‘traditional style’ or with an ‘artsy flair style’……….always your choice.

As always, Anna has lots of fun LoopDaLoops, MagicSparkles, and plenty of ‘AnnaDecor’ to help you trim your tree. Here are a few tree-trimming links.

https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=249580&title=christmas-tree&cat=1351Here's mine. All these layouts are gorgeous! I wish I knew how to capture the bokeh like so many of these fantastic photos, but I used Anna's stars and had fun playing with it. Guess I'm bokeh-less!

] I just couldn't find the paper I used "fruehling." Is it retired?

AMAZING pages! Thanks so much for sharing everyone!

Well, Anna's templates are often like quick pages...just add pictures, ArtPlay Palettes, mix, stir and voila!
