My Artistic Adventure Challenge 4: The Second Day of Christmas

Hello Friends!!
Welcome to the Fourth
"My Artistic Adventures Challenge"


**Our 4th Challenge Theme is 
"On the Second Day of Christmas my true love gave to me two....."   Keeping things simple again in that all you need to do is have a Christmas theme..and use two of something :0)
using elements from one of my  Digital Collage Sheets.**

Create any tangible item, Card, tag, ATC, Layout, altered art piece, Banner, pretty much anything you can come up with that is tangible using some of my digital images.
(Sorry no digital entrees)
You will want to check out the RULES page here.
(I am sure the rules may evolve over time...but I will let you know).
Heather (me)
I am playing along with Gloria's Challenge (see the end of my post), so I thought I would say a bit about my Ornament below.
I used elements from my Angel Ornament set, my Pink Victorian Mitten Sheet, and my new Victorian 2 Turtle Doves Collage sheet focals.  I also used some gorgeous Pink Silk Ribbon that I have been hoarding for a while now...from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Close up
I also used one of my heart charms that I have been hoarding as well as a vintage button :0).  The drop bead trim....I only have a tiny piece of that left...boo hoo...one of my favorites from a past DT, which is no longer selling items.  The 20mm Deep Ivory Rose, Ivory Organza, Cotton Candy Baker's Twine are all from RRR.
As far as my style..and doing something that says "Me" all over it...well I have designed all the paper elements of my ornie, used my fav RRR and AG Goodies and of course it is in the Shabby Chic/ Vintage style!  It is interactive, in that I like to design things that people will want to touch!  So the candy canes and tiny clothes pin are removable.  Of course the backs look as good as the front...which you will see in my
Youtube tutorial coming soon.
I can't wait to share with you my Sweet Designer's inspiration pieces.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!!
I have created a badge for my challenges, which I would soooo appreciate if you were to place it on your blogs.
You can find the HTML code in the Gadget box in my Upper Left Column.  This is what it looks like.
If you don't know how to add the HTML code to your blog, 
you can see my tutorial on YouTube here.
Interested in being a Guest Designer??  The DT and I will be picking our top three Favorite Projects (hopefully we get at least three entrees)..who will receive a "Top Three Badge" and a coupon code for 20% off their next purchase.  
We will be choosing our Designer's Top Pick, which will receive a badge,  be given the opportunity to Guest Design, and receive free images to design with.
We will also have one Random Winner of a free digital collage sheet!!
   I plan on having a DT call in April.  

I will be playing along with
 Gloria's New Craft Hoarders Challenge
I remember when I first met Gloria through 365 cards challenges..lol..didn't even realize the Graphic 45 connection I was so new to paper crafting!  Then we played together at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Of course everyone is already playing there...but if you didn't see the post...you still have some hours to play along and Show your Style, which is what she is looking for.

Thank you for visiting!!
Hugs!!

Heather
