THIRD PLACE
"Bells, Bells, Bells" by Mary Franowsky
This is a digital collage using the bells background and holiday bells postcard. I added a bow to the postcard from one of the Ephemera Packs as well as a teal, beaded ribbon from the Trims pack. I scanned two buttons that belonged to my deceased maternal grandmother and cleaned them up digitally (as best I could). The round green buttons are on the corners of the postcard while the swirly, diamond-like, sparkly buttons are randomly positioned.

AND HERE ARE THE OTHER WONDERFUL ENTRIES:

"Christmas Tree" by Barbara Miller
This Christmas scene uses almost everything from the "Here We Come A-Caroling" Studio Kit. The packages are "wrapped" in the background papers. The ornaments are made from the Christmas cards, the Vintage Christmas Ads, and the Holiday Ephemera. The music on the piano is three of the seven Song Sheets. The quote in the upper right hand corner is one of the Christmas Quotations.

"Winter Wonderland" by Shelley Burnett
5-1/2" x 4-1/2"
I made copies from all the vintage cards from the Xmas Kit and sized them to fit the mat board, chain I got at a thrift store and pre-made fringe from the craft store. Thank you so much for the kit; everyone loved my cards.

Oh, hello, my friends.  I enjoyed viewing the pieces done with the "A Caroling" kit and voting; however, when I got to the checkout page and entered the coupon code I was given, it said that I had already used it.  :(  What does this mean?  I didn't get my free e-book of the Artist Profiles...sob!  Can you straighten me out?  Yours truly, Sooz W

If you send an email to Artella, I'm sure someone will help you, Sooz W.  Another very helpful Post is Artella Tips and FAQ at http://artellacafe.com/forums/54.aspx  Heaven knows, I've received many answers to many questions and all within a very short period of time.  Hope this helps.
