Challenge #13 - Elves

Fall is here, the leaves are changing, Halloween has come and gone, soon winter snows will be here.  Time to cozy up for that long winter ahead and do a little creating! 

 The Little Elf
By John K. Bangs

I met a little Elfman once,
Down where the lilies blow.
I asked him why he was so small,
And why he didn't grow. 

He slightly frowned, and with his eye
He looked me through and through -
"I'm just as big for me," said he,
"As you are big for you!"

Today we present to you our design teams inspiration for our November Challenge, the theme this month is "ELVES."  Be sure to check back next Monday for more inspiration work from our design team.

AND THE JUNE WINNER IS......

This was a tough month for voting, every entry was so wonderful!     It has been decided that #7 is the Winner.    Congratulations to Anne Thompson.  Your project utilized AlteredPages collages which added extra oomph plus the sweet and homey imagery of your personal childhood was so lovely as noted by one of the Design Team.     



I still have a Bride Doll I got when I was 8 years old, still in the original box and all.    My cousin and I got the same doll and we were so excited!   She now lives with my grand daughter, Gabby.    
I bet we all have stories about a special childhood moment or item, even the simple things are so special as a child.  

Due to every entry being so wonderful in it's own way, you all get Free digital collages.   Please send your email to artsociates@gmail.com so we can send to you.   Anne, we need your postal address to mail your prize package!

Congrats to everyone who participated, both from the Design Team and our wonderful followers!!
