This will be the last Ztampfans Challenge for this year and you wouldn’t want to miss out:

Posting period: 6 – 13 Dec.

The Challenge:
Post layouts about ‘REFLECTION‘. It could be simply showing photographs/pictures with reflected images i.e. in the mirrors, windows or water, it could also be about reflection in the sense of looking back, contemplative sort of way. The end of a year is the right time to do this sort of things anyway ;). You can have journaling with it too!

Everything has to be made 100% using Ztampf! stuff.
Fonts and Photo Actions from other sources are accepted, though.

The Prize:
One lucky winner will receive a Ztampf! $15 Gift Certificate PLUS a 25% Discount Coupon that she can use up to 3 (three) times during the whole month of January 2008.

Come on… bookmark this: http://ztampf.com/ztampfest/v/Contests/ztampfans_challenges/ and… post away!  Yeehaaa… :).

My new Z!Girl, Donna B. Miller informed me about a wonderfully inspiring and heart-warming blog by Patti Digh: www.37days.typepad.com If you have never been there, I encourage you to do so; her essays are well written and, I say it again: Inspiring and Heart-Warming!

Anyway, to continue with the story: Donna sent Patti an ATC card she made inspired by one of Patti’s essays and Patti was just so delighted and in turn, inspired by it! Wonderful, isn’t it? Now, a publishing company is going to publish a book featuring 37 essays from Patti’s blog and Patti wanted to involve her readers in the book. So… she came up with the “37days challenge cards” project, inviting her readers to create a set of ‘artist cards’ based on her essays. Those participated are then assigned 1-3 essays from which they created their own personal visual take on each of the essay.

Well, here are mine – just click on the image to see the larger version with more detailed information:

The publisher team is now choosing which cards will actually be used in the book… I sure hope that some of mine will get chosen :). But even if any of them didn’t make it, I am glad that I have done the cards. Among other things, I got to meet new interesting people at the “37days challenge cards” group @ flickr where the participants uploaded their work for others to see. Feel free to browse there… a lot of wonderful works to inspire you :).

While you are there, feel free to browse my flickr account too. I’ve uploaded my non-Ztampf! works there; mostly done before I got into digital scrapbooking: my CraftWork, ArtWork and Snapshots.

On the side note, my allergies seem to make a comeback just when I thought they are finally about to be gone! *sigh*

Well, that’s it for today :).
