What is special this month?

Last post I told you there would be something special this month, and now is the time to reveal it! The circus theme will be a contest. This time you can win more than just fame, because the top-5 artworks with the most votes will be manufactured as postcards. Your name and country will be stated on your postcard. The postcards will be sold as a set of 5 in my webshop www.rosesarered.nl and for each set sold, 2,50 euro will be donated to charity.

Because the theme is ‘the circus’ the donation will go to the CliniClowns foundation in The Netherlands. The CliniClowns foundation helps sick and disabled children to forget the treatment, the pain and the limitations they experience. Not only because these kids deserve it, but they also have benefit from it. Distraction and fun help the kids relax and relief stress. This is the strenght of a smile. For more information you can visit their website: www.cliniclowns.nl

Some details:

Please note this is a non-commercial project. The Difference of 25 blog is about creating nice things together. This time I would like to do something special for other people as well, give a donation to the CliniClowns.
If you do NOT want your work displayed on a postcard, please let me know when you send in your artwork. Of course I hope you all support this project.

-You can send in your artwork untill the 22th of november
-The 24th of november the gallery and all the seperate artworks will be on the blog
-You can vote for 3 days: 24th, 25th and the 26th november
-You can only vote once!
-On the 28th of november the 5 winners will be announced on the blog
-Each winner (the top 5) will receive 5 postcards of their own artwork
-In the second half of December the postcards will be sold for 4 months on the webshop. I hope you all buy a set!

Please keep in mind when you create your artwork that the size of your design will be reduced to the size of a postcard. Avoid small details.
If you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask: roos25blog@gmail.com

I hope you like the contest and the idea of helping the CliniClowns. Good luck!

Theme of November: Circus

Hip Hip Hurray! Today The Difference of 25 celebrates its second anniversary!

Two years ago we started with the first theme. Today we begin with the 23th theme (we do 11 themes in a year because of the summer holidays). 2 Years have past by; time surely flies.

Some of you have taken part in the blog from the very start and still are sending in your artwork; new people have joined with time. Thank you all for your dedication and enthousiasm.

This month we have a new theme: Circus! And because it is a special month, we will connect the theme to a special contest. What is so special about the contest...I will tell you later this week! But you will be able to vote. And the closing date will be on Saturday, 23th of November. See you later!

Theme of October: Autumn

When the leaves start falling from the trees I get a little depressed, because it means the summer has really come to an end. I love the summer with its warmth and flowers everywhere. But of course autumn has its own nice things: the amazing colours of the leaves, mushrooms in unexpected places, hedgehogs and squirrels, busy searching food for their winter stock, the chestnuts and acorns shining beautifully on the ground...

You can make anything that gives you the autumn feeling: falling leaves, mushrooms, funny puppets from acorns or animals getting ready for the hibernation. You can send your artwork until the 23th of October to: roos25blog@gmail.com
Hope you like the new theme.
