Hallo and welcome to a new 'Hear My Voice' themed Mixed Media Challenge.
If you're not familiar with the 'Hear My Voice' Brand it's a monthly collaboration by Rachel Jefferies and Lynn Grieveson Designs.
Each month rich textures and unique digital artistry are created from a mixture of mediums to provide you with the right tools for expressing your thoughts and feelings through art journaling or mixed media scrapbooking.
This is a monthly space for collectors of Hear My Voice Digital Art to scrap their stash and get creative together.
First congratulations to the random winner of the October HMV collection @trekmom!
This month’s challenge is all about “GROWING”.
For this mixed media challenge, we’ll focus on “growing moments.” Think about how growth has taken shape in your life, whether through the literal stages of a plant growing from seed to flower, or through more abstract concepts like emotional resilience, creative breakthroughs, or relationship development.
Suggested materials include ephemera and colors that symbolize growth for you. You might incorporate symbols such as leaves, trees, butterflies, or abstract shapes that carry meaning. Greens and earth tones can evoke natural growth, while bright colors could symbolize personal or creative development. Consider adding words or journaling to give deeper meaning to your work.
For my page, I’ve reflected on the emotional journey of watching my children grow up and leave home. I now find myself in a new stage of life, full of new opportunities and challenges for both personal and creative growth.

For my page I used Rachel’s and Lynn’s Hear my voice collection - 11 Growing.
Other examples...
@Rachel Jefferies
"I used Hear My Voice Growing, Hurting and Doubting - my page is about motherhood and my own personal growth. I also used my handwritten journaling as oversized stamps to obscure it's sensitivity and add as texture and design elements, tutorial for that here
The left side is representative of my turmoil and feelings and things get brighter and more hopeful towards the right hand side, a little heavy and deep and inside my own thoughts and feelings today!"
