Artistic challenge blog entry

This is my entry for Artistic challenge this month, had to be Art Nouveau style, I wasn't sure with that one, had to use a cut out photo, this is the only one I felt I could do this with, flourishes and a halo. Once the challenge is set I usually stress a bit and then things seem to fall into place, a bit like any immediate "hard basket" thing. I used some of the gorgeous papers and embellishments I got from last months Noel Mingon kit. Nate and I are travelling to Walloon to see a friend who recently had a baby, so he gets to play with Cooper and his mum and I can catch up, I can nurse little Lucas and hopefully the rain will stay away, Nate will then come home have a sleep and I can scrap.....Yay! Well that is the plan, hope you all have a wonderful day. Love Melxx
