Patterned paper card challenge - Feb./March 2020

Original post:

Good morning 🙂. I have a new challenge for you today. I would like you to design a card or an art journal page as per the illustrations shown. It involves patterned paper, strips of patterned paper, a stamp of some kind, glue, sticky-fixers, three wooden cut-outs and some imagination. You don’t have to follow the example on colour. You can choose your own size and colours. The purpose of the challenge is to come a little bit out of your comfort zone and try something different.

You have ten days to do it. Good luck!

Who’s up for the challenge?

Your entries should be posted in the Discussion Feed on Tuesday 10th March :)

Save the Planet Junk Journal Challenge, starting September 1st 2019.

Here is the first post for the Save the Planet Junk Journal Challenge, which we are starting tomorrow.

Week One
There are two tasks to complete for the first week.

1) Make 16 tea dyed pages out of 100 gsm paper, that's slightly thicker than normal copier paper. These will form the basis of your journal.

Here is a video to show you how to do it:

The second task:

2)  Take a photo of the inside of your refrigerator so that you and we can see how much plastic you have inside there. Post the picture in the discussion feed during the coming week so that we can discuss alternative ways of keeping our food fresh.

This is my photo:

Week Two/Three

This week we are thinking about another of the topics, this time 'Growing a Healthy Garden' using the prompts in our Documents, under Files.

You should, by now, have your pages assembled and ready for decorating with pockets, tucks and belly-bands etc.



Good luck.

Feather Challenge, week ending 15th June 2019

 Last week's challenge was to design a 6" x 4" journal card with the theme 'feathers'. We had a great response and the entries are all so different, interesting and beautifully done. The ladies were given ten days to design their card and as the days went by, Judith Jones supplied us with inspirations on a daily basis! Some of our ladies are on the road yet still managed to enter the challenge, others were at work and had to make theirs in their 'spare' time. The results are very impressive.

If I have missed anybody out, please let me know! Thank you, Stella Jones.
