Sparkle and Shine

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Anything Christmas  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

It's been wonderful having Carrie with us this month. I am sure you have enjoyed her creative makes as much as I have.  

Thanks to my Teammate Cheiron for the inspiration for my make.

This week the challenge is: SPARKLE AND SHINE

This is a 2 week challenge so we can all relax and enjoy the holidays. 

Happy Holidays! 

I'm taking a year long course, and teamie Cheiron is teaching over there in December. I love her idea for making little art canvases, and decided to make mine a bit larger Sparkle on!

Even though it's the holiday season, I was inspired to go with more tropical colors...perhaps it's due to the snow piling up around my house these days. I've added stamped images, book papers, and some good words to lead into the new year.  

I surprised myself going for turquoise, pink and yellow, but I love how it pulled together.  I added shimmery paint, sparkles and splatter to finish it off. 

 I also used Cheiron's idea to create an art journal page.

Focus on the Good in the new year!  Happy Holidays and see you again in 2026.
