Here we are already more than halfway through the month of February, and time for some more inspiration from the ACN team! GAIL is sharing this stunning pop up card! What a wonderful background she has created here for these ACN WOLVES. KREN has created a magical look with her wintry background in hues of purple and greens while adding the fibers as a textural element. …and I paint spattered my background. Inspired by the Snow wolves of the Canadian arctic, I went for a wintry white and blue. Come and join us for the ‘WILD THING’ CHALLENGE! We can’t wait to see what you will do! You will find the WOLVES image and other nature inspired images at the A Creative Need shop!

This week’s Case Study caught my eye! This is my take on it. Instead of a painted backdrop, I made a sponged grunge frame in green and added my cherries image. I painted the CHERRIES using Corel Painter. I created the sentiment (computer generated), printed it on canvas textured card stock and finished with a little red button . Have a creative day and thanks for stopping by! Deena

I hope you all had a great holiday! My boys are back in school after their two week break and all was very quiet in the house today! I missed them! Who’d have thought?! 🙂 We all had a great break from the everyday schedules, but the Holidays were busy for us too, as we had a lot of family/friends over at different times. We went to a great NEW YEAR’s party too! Lots of fun and good food, but I have to admit, I’m exhausted! We’ve had A LOT of snow this winter so far! What’s the weather like where you live? And it’s snowing again as I write this…I really hope it’s not a long winter… Anyway, I just wanted to let you know if you hadn’t noticed already, that I changed the FREEBIE for JANUARY and it’s available HERE. Enjoy! And don’t miss this month’s CHALLENGE: blue, beige and white! See the sticky post at the top of my blog.
