Believe

I just had to use the nice background from Art Creations Friday for another digital image -- this time in ATC format. It's a contribution to the current theme of Theme Thursday, yet another creative challenge blog. The theme is Santa -- just perfect to get into Christmas mode/mood:

Monkeys

Art Creations Friday provided a nice background for its new challenge. I used it in both moos I made for the Make a moo or two challenge blog with its new theme monkeys:

Among circus folk, Lizzie was affectionately known as Monkey.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks for being part of my life!

Majorie's lost love

Was it just yesterday that I found out all about moos? Today I happened to find another exciting challenge blog called Art Creations Friday. The organizers post a picture or background each Friday which you then have to use in your own project. I am thrilled that digital collages are welcome, too. I used the beautiful vintage photo of a woman for my digital collage:

Whenever Majorie took a stroll in fall, she thought of her lost love.

First snow

Over the weekend we had the first snow in Munich. This morning in the car while waiting for a train to pass, I took the first two photos of the snowy fields which are near my home.

Seraphine & Geraldine

Today I stumbled upon a website which asks you to "make a moo or two." Of course, I had to find out what a moo is -- except for the sound a cow makes that is. From the website:

"A Moo is a little card with the size of 2,8 x 7 centimeters or approximately 1,1 x 2,8 inches. Beside this fixed size it's what you make of it!"

That sounds interesting, doesn't it? Anyway, every Friday a theme is set to challenge you to make a moo. The most recent one is "pets," so I had to try my hand at it. So now I proudly present Seraphine & Geraldine:

Light & Shadow

Have you ever noticed how wonderfully November sunlight brings out the shadows? Amazing!

My first ATC swap

Normally, ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) are more like AKCs for me (Artist Keeping Cards). However, I finally decided to try out a digital ATC swap -- what fun that was! Earlier this week I received the five stunning cards below made by Victoria, Raven, Elinor (who had organized the swap), Paula, and Jeff. Cool, huh?

Halloween decoration

Before I put away all the Halloween and fall decoration, I want to show you some of the stuff:

Halloween Pumpkin

Isn't a Halloween pumpkin a truly splendid thing? You get a great Jack-o-lantern, pumpkin soup, spiced pumpkin bread, and roasted pumpkin seeds. Oh, the joys of autumn!

Walk On All Saints Day

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
-- Albert Camus

How true is that?! Just have a look at the photos I took during a walk on All Saints Day:
