This last month has been beyond amazing to me in the realm of art journaling. I have watched over 25 ladies get excited and totally into making ONE page with the art journal theme! Each Friday, a chat of about 10-12 buzzing scrappers, eager for what the next challenge would be and how they could interpret the challenge from their own heart became a realization. Not wanting to hoard the challenge to just chatters, it was posted in the-Lily Pad forum, and even more people joined in. What touched me so much, is there were faithful Lily Pad scrappers that wanted to give it a go, Pollys of long standing, and brand new to the Pad too! The experienced with the wanting to experience art journaling mingled and laughed and left love on each others pages. The Art Journal Gallery flourished. I would sit down in the late evening and just beam like a proud momma watching her children win Nobel Peace Prizes, or be knighted by the Queen. I was beyond happy. That is the doing of YOU, the ones that pursued the challenge.
Each week, a skinny, a 3×12 panel with a theme or an idea was given. The ladies each had a blast, and I loved every single one:
This weeks challenge was to make a dolly, however you wish, but have fun. I am betting you can see all the fun they had! The only ones I could post are the ones that were uploaded individually, but you need to see them with the other three panels to really feel the awesomeness! The ART Journal Gallery is just waiting for you to go and see! I want to put everyone on this blog, because they are ALL that good.
This month’s Sponsor was Michelle Godin.
I want to so thank Michelle, as I went to her with this wild hair to do a challenge and she gave me such free reign and support! She graciously has given every single lady that finished their skinnys a participation gift, and a gift certificate to one RANDOM generated finisher!
I ran the RANDOM generator, inputting the post numbers 2-41 from the June Art Journaling Challenge Layout Thread in the Forums. I started with 2, because yours truly was the first post, and well, I can’t win, because I already have everything Michelle makes! tee hee
and now without any further ado, or other things that people say to elongate announcing the winner:
Woo HOO! Confetti is shot into the air and happy happy thoughts are thunk, and then I send amandascraps (our Amanda) a private message with the Gift Certificate enclosed! Hey, that sounds like work to me!?
Now a bit of a teaser for July’s Art Journaling Challenge…..
It starts Friday! There is a chat, there will be prizes and YOU can do it! Just ask any of the ladies from this month! I promise you will have fun too!
