Second spotlight from the November Challenge

As there were such a lot of wonderful entries and we are in the middle of choosing our Top3 for Saturday (which is - as always - really difficult but has to be done ;) I thought I'd share another spotlight on another fab entry with you:

This terrific art journal page 

from Titbelsoeur:

I love the colours she used and that the balloon seems to float in the far background of the misterious scenery. I also love the depth she created and that second balloon that can be seen through the French window... look how she draws the focus to it by the structure of the floor boards and the open door! A brilliant make, isn't it?

Thank you, Titbelsoeur, for sharing your beautiful art with us. Please, feel free to take the badge for your blog. Looking forward to seeing you enter one of our challenges again ;)

Hugs and happy crafting and if you already haven't then have a look at our December challenge now - we would love you to join in our X-mas-Steampunk fun!

Our December Steampunk Challenge

Hello and welcome back, dear readers and steampunk crafting friends!

It's time for a new challenge over here and to dive into Christmas too - only with a steampunk twist of course ;)

This month we want you to create

Santa's New Or Pimped Up Vehicle

Maybe Santa has decided to switch to a more modern vehicle or his old sleigh needed a technical make over..... show us what it is that he will come in this X-mas! 

As long as your project is obviously steampunk oriented you can make it an "anything goes" - from 2D to 3D creations (for which we offer as always two separate collections). But, please, do also check our challenge rules (to be found on top of the page).

Again you blew us away with all your artful and creative entries for the november challenge! You are so great! Thank you all so much! Please, check back next saturday to see if you are the prize winner or among our Top3.

This month we also have another Guest Designer with us - please, welcome the lovely talented Maura from the "Two Crafting Sisters"! And - as we had expected - she created the most lovely and whimsical vehicle for Santa:

This is so gorgeous, isn't it?

And this is what Maura wrote us about herself to share with you all:

Hi, I'm Maura and delighted and honored to have been asked to be a guest designer here this month - I love challenges! I'm from upstate New York where I have a fantastic view of the Adirondack mountains from my craft space - great inspiration. My family is my husband, the artist and musician, two grown sons, and Jasper, our jack russell. I teach science and have a passion for art and crafting, I always have some project in the works. As a long time Sci-Fi and fantasy fan, I was ready for Steampunk! For me, it is the perfect blend of science and imagination, and I love to let it run wild. Santa's pimped out steampunk hot air balloon all started with a light bulb and a bucket...

Thanks Amelie and SanDee!

Crafty hugs...oops, watch the inky fingers,

Maura

Thank you so much, Maura, for your charming make and for being with us this month! We really love your balloon Santa comes in as it is such an enchanting project! Big hug and wishes!!!

And here come the DT makes which (hopefully) get you all inspired for creating awesome makes for entering our challenge ;)
