Oh Dear, it looks like I led you astray a bit Glena. Mark had nothing to do with this image. I was referring to the poem when I mentioned him. Back about September I sent Mark the first "Dust Bunny" poem I wrote and asked if he would mind drawing the characters in the poem. He liked the poem and posted individual images of Dust Bunny, Rug Bug, Mr.Broom and Vac Vader for me. They are in his portfolio.
The poem I added to this image was my second poem for the series..."Dust Bunny's Christmas". I added the poem to this image because I thought the elves and Dust Bunny had the same kind of energy and mischief making spirit. I mentioned Mark because I thought viewers might like to see the individual images that made up the original poem if they missed them before.
The elf image is all mine. The elves were tiny 6" x-mas decorations When I saw them I just had to create a Mixed Media image with them because they were so darn cute!. I'm so sorry for the confusion I caused....Hope this explanation didn't confuse you even more. LOL I'm so glad you enjoyed my Christmas Elves. Thank you for the wonderful review! :o) Nancy

Hi photoman, I worked right within my photo program. I cut out the elves and one snowflake I had previously created and placed them in .png format. I then used that one snowflake to make others using the kaleidoscope filter. When you save in .png you can move all the objects you cut around with your mouse even if you close the image and come back to it. You can shrink them too .All I had to do was cut out an area for snow on the ground and make the background navy blue. The top of the tree is made up of two pieces I added gradient to. I just layered those pieces downward and stretched them horizontally to give them the shape of the tree. When I had everything I wanted I moved the objects to where I wanted them to be, to create the finished image. When it's just right I save the image in .jpg where it becomes a solid image where you no longer can move the individual pieces. That's how I created this. I'm glad you enjoyed the image. Hope it brought a smile to your face! Thanks for the great review! Merry Christmas! :o) Helvi

I wish I had a 6 left, as this presentation is very attractive, outstanding in content combination and so excellent in loving energy that I am really surprised.
All your different shots are outstanding and your creation to combine them in this picture is more than beautiful and of course more than perfect in creative and harmonious content as every single piece is at the perfect place, all the beautiful stars are excellent in form and application, your colors are fantastic and the little boy radiates love while the girl is loving his animal so all pieces are representing all there is as plants represented by trees, girl and boy and animal heavenly stars and pure ground
Special, special, special - congratulations and Merry Christmas to you as well
Excellent poem xoxo

WOW! Hi Regina, These little elves were so cute I knew that if I could create something with them it would bring a smile! I felt they really could share their fun with everyone who saw them. It makes you feel good when you know you create something that will bring joy. I suffer from an anxiety disorder so I know just how much a simple act of joy can do for one! If I made you smile then I know this image did what it was suppose to do. I am incredibly honored you felt this deserved 6 stars. Thank you for the super complimentary review! You totally made my day! The Dust Bunny poem had the same kind of energy as these two mischief makers so I thought it would be a nice addition. So glad you enjoyed it too! xoxo :o) Nancy

Dear Nancy - you are so welcome, and you should shift your anxiety and disorders into your own inner love and light, as that is now our inner ascension process, and we all have to decide if we fall into the fear system which is created by the Bad guys on the world who lost totally their powers YESTERDAY the 21th of December, as we ascended into the 5D and the 3D was cut off, so all negative ones will have to leave this planet from now on and uncountable will be arrested but only 20% will be shown to bring truth out about the wrong and negative leaders globally
Now we also have to decide if we will radiate in the negative created energy or if we let it all go to return to our divine inner self-loving ourselves and all others no matter if bad or good, as all existence is part of the divine oneness of all there is -you have such a super inner closed happiness and joy, just let it out and begin to express it, no matter what happens around us right now as that is the moment we leave the negative created frequency, and you are divine , so just let it go - I love you for who you are, and this presentation shows that your inner divine self wants to come out and to be recognized by yourself - have a blessed day dear Nancy

Well there you go again my friend! This time it's a delightful Christmas scene with the elves in the forest on a snowy night having themselves such a fun time ! I love the deep blue sky with the pretty snowflakes, the two beautiful green trees and each one has a special snowflake on its top. The elf in back enjoys a ride on the reindeer while the elf in front is playing on the Christmas ball!
This is such a fun and uplifting Christmas scene! I love it! I love the dust bunny Christmas poem too!
Thank you Nancy and Merry Christmas to you too!

Hi Pat, Those little elves were so cute I just had to take a picture of them ! I couldn't wait to create a fun scene with them. I'm so happy you enjoyed them so much! I added the Dust Bunny poem because it had the same kind of fun spirit to it. Thank you for the super incredible review. I feel incredibly you enjoyed the image to the extent you did. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the poem too! ( wish I had the talent to create an image for that) Thank you for making my day! :o) Nancy

Comment from cleo85
Thank you for this present. The Elf is adorable. His smile is lovely. I enjoyed opening this card and being greeted by such cute creatures. Your mixed media is outstanding. The composition is perfect for your poem. This could be an excellent addition to a book for a children book, perhaps night time stories.
The original photo is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. The colors are attractive. The Reindeer, the Elf's and the trees are perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Truly playful Xmas elves and it's such a lovely Xmas photograph. Those snowflakes falling are so beautiful!! And elves are so mirthful in their actions- in keeping with the festive spirit. And the poem you composed is a masterful act. Loved it. Merry Xmas
