Well hello, 2016! You guys ready for a brand new year that promises even more mixed media fun? For our first challenge of the year, our theme is wide open to interpretation: BEGINNINGS. What does theme mean to you? Your mixed media cards doesn't have to have the new year theme -- as you can see, some of the mixed media card girls went beyond "new year" in their cards. So have a go at it. We'd love to see your takes on this month's theme.
HOW TO PLAY
1. Create a mixed media CARD based on the theme, with or without the optional element.
2. Display the challenge graphic on your blog post and link back to this challenge post.
3. You may enter as many times as you want, as long as each entry is different.
4. You may combine a maximum of 7 challenges (6 other challenges plus ours).
5. Submit your projects by January 25, 11:55 p.m. Pacific (GMT-8).
6. We'll announce the winner and highlights on January 31.

ReplyDeleteHi ladies,
ReplyDeletejust added my card, wonderful DT work.
My beginning is that from 2016 onward I want to try to participate in mixed media challenges. I find it still so difficult to define it and until now I always chickened out, had no courage to try it. LOL
So I am being very brave here. LOL
