GC83: Random Redhead Challenge - Polar Animals

There's no better way to ward off the cold weather blues than some cute and cuddly

Polar Animals!

Artwork by Suzanne Brookfield

They are sure to make you smile! Get out all those polar bears, moose, caribou, arctic foxes and penguins for this challenge! Any polar animal will do! North Pole or South Pole inhabitants are all allowed.

When the challenge closes on January 16, 2011, we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using polar animals in your art;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use the linky application below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.

One random winner and seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on January 18, 2011. You have until January 16, 2010 to enter!

Here are some cool and cuddly creatures to get you going!
