"Nine Christmas Santa Elves"

Over the past several days I have enjoyed the pleasure of creating nine ACEO Christmas Elves, each has their own unique personality and derive joy from their chosen Christmas profession and helping to spread happiness throughout the Holiday Season. As I was looking at these nine charming little individuals, I thought "Wouldn't it be delightful if I could combine them all on one page?!" and so, with help of my handy dandy scanner, I created a unique art print and use of ACEO's complete with all nine Christmas Elves! 

This charming authorized art print is made on an ink jet printer using 140 pound weight white acid free card stock, size 8-1/2" x 11". The print size is a non-standard 7" x 10", and the individual elves images are slightly smaller than the regulation ACEO size of 2.5"x3.5". But for those of you who would like all nine elves, this is a unique way to do so. Besides being able to frame the entire print, one can cut them apart and use them in a variety of creative ways.

You can find the "Nine Christmas Santa Elves"  for sale in My Etsy Shop as an authorized art print.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas In July...

...has led to me making some Yuletide ACEOs to sell in the sale section in my shop. For the first time, I'm using recycled materials in some of these pieces, mostly old Christmas cards, but there are some 3D pieces, like game markers, in some of them. I thought that it might be fun to poke a little gentle fun at the season, given that it's the middle of summer... hence the two cards shown here, one about turkeys, and the other, Kitty Christmas. Both are available in my artmixter etsy shop, along with other bargains! Why not pop in and have some fun!
