You still have time to play in our February "Think Pink" Challenge
We would like to thank all our players for your support of our 9th Challenge. Our gallery is filled with beautiful and inspiring mixed media creations that follow our "Think Pink" theme. We just wanted to remind you that you have until midnight EST on Saturday, February 28 to play in our February "Think Pink" Challenge. That's 3 Days away!! Our random winner will receive a $25 gift card from Ellen Hutson, LLC. Our design team will pick a winner and several honorable mentions who will be able to proudly display our graphic on their blogs. Winners will be announced on Thursday, March 5.
Our new challenge will start on Sunday, March 1 and run through March 31. Be sure to check back then to find out what our new theme is and who our new sponsor and guest designer are.
We had a huge response to our Design Team Call last month. We looked through all the blogs and applications and finally asked two amazing designers to join our team. It was a difficult decision. We had so many awesome applicants that we asked several to join us as guest designers. So, be sure to check back on the 15th of each month for the next few months to see who our special Guest Designers are. We know they will be providing you with loads of mid-month inspiration to encourage you to make a project or possibly inspire you to make more projects for our challenge that month.
Now, without further ado, please meet our newest designers and check out their gorgeous "Think Pink" Projects. Be sure to visit their blogs and leave them a warm welcome in their comments.
I have been stamping and paper crafting probably for about 10 years or so, but did not get seriously into it until about 2007. My paper crafting hobby has developed from those early stamping and card making days into using many different media and I would like to call myself a mixed media artist. I love journaling, altering all sorts of objects and playing about with gesso, acrylic paints, different mediums, collage and many layers. Often I use my stamps more for creating backgrounds rather than as a main vocal point. My style is Vintage/Shabby Chic and I love playing around with ribbons, flowers and lace. http://astridsartisticefforts.blogspot.com
Hi everyone, Debbie here and I'm thrilled to be joining The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge Design Team! I love to incorporate mixed media into my shabby chic layouts and canvases. I've been scrapbooking for 15 years and love the creativity this wonderful craft unleashes in me. I live in beautiful state of Maryland near our nation's capitol. By day I am an Assistant Project Manager for a general contracting company. In the evenings and weekends you can find me in my scrapbook room creating away and when Spring arrives I am busy outside tending to my flower gardens. http://lovelifeslittlepleasures.blogspot.com

Before we get started we would like to thank ALL of talented designers who entered our design team call. We had SO MANY amazing applicants for our first DT Call and only ONE opening. In the end, we couldn't just choose one so we ended up choosing TWO new designers and several guest designers to join us in the coming months. We're announcing our new designers on February 15 so be sure to check back for our special February 15 post.
Teri is an amazing paper artist, former Paper Crafts Magazine Go To Gal and Moxie Fab World Blog Leader. She still serves on many design teams and continues to WOW us on a daily basis. She makes beautiful and creative designs that never fail to impress. Here is Teri's take on our Think Pink Challenge. She took the Pink theme and ran with it. We just love her very pink mixed media Valentine's Day Card. Thanks for joining us this month Teri.
