Hello my friends and welcome to November. It's so hard to believe we are down to the final 2 months of the year.
As a reminder, here is overview of the approach to the 2024 Mixed Media Challenges:
Each month through 2024 a broad theme will be provided for the challenge and you can interpret these themes as literally or as loosely and abstractly as you wish.
Please feel inspired and relaxed to experiment and personalize these challenges this year to your advantage. Our goal for 2024 is for you to get pages scrapped, use your stash of digital art, and if you’d like, and have time, practice some fun techniques to build confidence in your mixed media scrapbooking.
If you’d like to learn something specific please inbox Rachel with your suggestion.
For November 2024, it's all about keywords that can represent November. It's our hope that that these words/phrases will spark creativity--you can opt to let these words/phrase be thought provoking for a page you want to create or you can literally scrap about one or many of the words below.
Let one or more these following keywords help guide your layout for this challenge:
With each challenge, a tip/technique/tutorial will be included. There is no pressure to incorporate the tip/technique/tutorial into your challenge page, the choice is entirely yours.
For my layout, I really wanted to do more of an art journaling influenced layout with some actual journaling. Yet, I wanted to keep my journaled thoughts private without necessary scribbling through them. May I suggest, using your layout design with the elements, paints, and layers to be the very thing that hides your journaling?
Here's my layout WITHOUT the journaling-- (pay attention to the area of the red rectangle).
NOW, here is my layout, WITH the journaling hid but it is hid by incorporating it into my page design with the layering of elements/paints/messy marks, etc on top of it (pay attention to the area of the red rectangle). (note: in reality, I did all my journaling first and then layered all the elements on top of it to hide it).
Here's my layout:
I was inspired by "adoption"
Some examples from the team:
from @Dady, she was inspired by "Fall"
Challenge Requirements:
If you have any questions just tag me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. As always, I look forward to your creations!
