Another year has passed! How did that happen...again? It has been a very busy year for me with family health issues and travel, but I am still here. I was pleased to hear that you all wished for this thread to continue, and hopefully ladies who have left this group will rejoin us in 2024, and we will also have some new people join in.
WELCOME TO THE MMJ 2024 CHALLENGES -NO CHAT PLEASE
If you like texture, mixed media and fun, then you are in the right place. Our challenges aren't intended to take away from what's on this wonderful site, but to give you further inspiration or maybe for those times when you are craving more mixed media; something different or weird, or need an extra crafty fix.
HOW DOES IT WORK.....Each month there will be a new challenge. It may be prompts, a video or perhaps a photograph to give you inspiration for your project. Your project can be whatever you wish....a card, scrapbook page, art journal page, tag, ATC, junk journal page, collage, etc. If you wish to combine an MMJ challenge with another challenge, even better. We would just like to see more people join in. The most important thing is to CREATE and to do something that makes you smile!
WHEN IS THE CHALLENGE?.....Monthly on the 1st of each month.
WHERE AND WHEN DO WE POST OUR PROJECT? Post your project whenever you want. The challenges will always be here and if you can't play one month, play whenever you can. POST YOUR PROJECTS ON HERE
KEYWORD: Each month we have a new keyword starting with MMJ......
See the challenges below for details and keyword.
The important thing is to have FUN and get CRAFTY!

Hi Everyone, I hope that you all had an enjoyable Xmas and are ready for another New Year and more MMJ Challenges.
Here is the January 2024 Challenge, early.
Use 3 or more of the following prompts:
* Water
* A die cut
* At least 3 colours
* A stamped image
* Something strange which shouldn't be in your "scene" or project
Technique: Choose a favourite video/artist and copy the main technique they use. For example: Think Tim Holtz or someone you follow on You Tube, or perhaps choose a tutorial on SCS. Some of you (aka moi) may have classes which you have never tried. Perhaps in 2024 you can give them a go.
When posting your project please say whose technique you chose.
KEYWORD: MMJ124
As always, have fun, and if you don't fancy any of the above, just play and post your project.
Happy 2024. May the year shine brightly for you all.

Hello everyone, how can it be April? When I think of April I think of April showers although where I live now April is a beautiful time of the year and usually there’s no rain. I also think of April Fools Day and still try and catch my hubby out. It’s also the month where in Oz we celebrate ANZAC day. Usually it’s also Easter celebrations but this year Easter is early.
So, for my challenge use 3 or more of the following:
*. Something relating to rain or a rainy BG
*. Include a fun or joke sentiment
* Book or dictionary paper
* At least one warm colour
* Splatters
Technique: Die cut or Fussy cut and add an image but create depth by layering at least 3 of the same image
Plus if you live in Oz add something relating to Anzac Day (not compulsory).
I look forward to seeing what you all create. The main thing is to just have fun and make sure you get inky.
Happy Easter weekend. Hugs

Hi everyone, pinch, punch, it’s first of the month. It’s also May. When I think of May I think of summer coming when I lived in the UK, of flowers starting to sprout and of May fairs and May poles. People smiling more as the weather improves lol. Where I live now May is a reminder that winter is on its way and the rains and winds are coming. There are less people out in the parks and people rug up more.
So for our May challeng, use 3 or more of the following:
*. A face or a smile
*. Spring or summer flowers
*. Sunny bright colours
* Lines any direction
* Something which makes you think of May
Use any technique and if you want to add some texture, add fabric, buttons, lace. Do your thing.
Have fun and enjoy creating. Happy May.
