First of all, we'd like to thank all of you guys who responded to our previous journal. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and the great feedback you gave us. We're planning to do a Secret Santa soon as well, so we hope you'll be excited! So let's start this club back up with a challenge!

+_~*About*~_+

Ladies and Gentlemen, you're challenge this month shall be quite festive! With two big holidays coming up, what better than to do a Holiday Themed Challenge? You're challenge this month is to create a piece of artwork that is inspired by the holidays!


+_~*Rules/Requirements*~_+

Any holiday is up for grabs, but your piece's main influence must be from a holiday.

Unless it's an obscure holiday, try to make it as obvious as you can about what holiday inspired you.

As always, your art/writing should be done to the best of your ability. Spend some time on your challenge. Don't just put something together. Since you have a long time for this challenge, please color your images as well.

Your final piece(s) should be completed and submitted by December 31, 2009. If your piece(s) isn't/aren't submitted by then, they will not be eligible to be featured.


+_~*Have fun!*~_+

That's all we have to say, so please have fun while completing this challenge. If you're not having fun at all, please try another perspective. One of the many goals of Art Challenge Monthly is to have fun, and if you're not having fun, one of the goals is not being met!


+_~*Questions? Comments?*~_+
