Here is the first challenge of 2025!
With a more mixed media style this year we have our first card with the prompt 'alphabet or dictionary'.

That is gorgeous!😍🤩Funny you should mention Lou Collins. Since November I’ve *really really* gotten into card making. In fact that’s all I want to do. I found her from her Craftstash shorts on card making. I need to watch her mixed media videos as well. ❤️
Thank you 😊
Lou Collins is great and she explains things so well x
great challenge. so many wonderful prompts as well.
Thanks so much!❤️
Enjoyed the process⭐️Beautiful index card
Thank you ❤️
Oh you'll love this, I posted this on Facebook yesterday. And then your video comes up today... 🤣🤣🤣
Watches a TH-cam art tutorial.
The demonstrator continues "and we're just going to finish off our project with a little splatter."
She taps the paintbrush over her art and a tidy, splatter is left on her page.
My turn.
Dips paintbrush in the paint.
Tap.
Nothing.
Ooh maybe I need to water the paint down a bit more. Adds water.
Dips paintbrush in.
Tap.
Now there is a wonderful splatter over the whole of my artwork, the surrounding table and it's contents, the two walls in front of me, and... my face!
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 that was me! I had it all up my arm, on my face, all over my desk but only two or three splatters actually landed on my work! 🤦🏻♀️ I did state at the beginning I wasn't an expert and I think this video proves it 😅x
😂😂
Very pretty! Try a fan brush for the splatters, I've seen it used lots of times. I will join in this year too. So creative and nice colors. Thanks
Thank you so much ❤️ yes, I have had a few tips on different brushes, thank you!
Love your card. I'm new to your channel and I'd love to join in this challenge. Mixed media is my favourite way to create! Just a little tip for making splatter dots on your work... use a smaller brush and have the paint quite watery. Sometimes it helps if you hold the brush over your work and tap it with another brush handle or a pencil. Looking forward to playing along 😊
Thank you so much ❤️ and thanks for the tips! I have been given this advice from others too, so thank you x
Awesome start to the challenge
Thank you so much ❤️
I do love mixed media and I make my own paste. I love your little silicone mat. I use a plain one that I bought from a dollar store a couple years ago. ☺♥
Thank you so much 😊 you'll have to let me know the recipe for your homemade paste 👍🏻
@nonstoppapercrafts I found this video. I make little batches at a time, probably enough to last a month or so. I forgot about it once for months and it went bad, but cheap to make so I wasn't upset. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/Afb4WL2QtXI/w-d-xo.html ☺♥
@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore thanks so much! ❤️
@@nonstoppapercrafts My pleasure always to share tips n tricks I learn along the way and give credit where credit is due ☺♥
Looking forward to participating! Have loads of art materials just waiting to be used.
Yay! I'm so happy you will be participating ❤️
So excited to play along this year! !🎉🎉 need to stretch my mixed media muscles 😊. Thank you for the list and hashtags!! Your make came out so great…inspiring!
Thank you ❤️ I'm so pleased you will be joining this year's challenges
Thank you for your help
I just got some index cards from dollar tree! I will try to join in this year!!! Beautiful results ❤🎉
Yay! I'm so excited that you will be doing the challenge 😁
Your card looks beautiful! I love mixed media as I feel it's about embracing the mess and finding beauty in it. Trust the process! Amazing inspiration, thank you!
Thank you so much 😊 it always starts off a bit of a hot mess but comes together by the end 😁x
Yay, the first altered index of 2025! Looks fantastic! Thank you for explaining the process of mixed media too. You make it really understandable 😊❤
Thank you so much Yvonne! I'm glad I managed to explain it well 😊 I'm excited to start the new one now! x
Thank you for the inspiration. Your card looks great. I am hoping to get onboard with this challenge. I do find a fan brush works fantastic for splatters.
Thank you 😊 yes, I have had some tips on different brushes for the splatters, I hope to try those in a future video 😀
Very nice.💜🐞
Thank you ❤️
Its is so exciting to see the card develope 😮 I've never dared to explore mixed media, so Im allready hooked on this serie ❤ Greetings from Denmark 😊
Thank you so much 😊 I hope you are inspired enough to give it a try!
A good thing to splatter with that works great, is an old tooth brush!
Thank you 😊 someone else also suggested a toothbrush 👍🏻x
Going to give it a try. Thank you for the inspiration🎉
Yay! I am so excited that you are going to try out this challenge x
I'm excited for this! I saw one or two of your videos on this last year but didn't participate. I'm glad I found this early on so I can easily catch up and hopefully stay up to date.
Thank you ❤️ I'm so happy you are excited for this and have decided to join the challenge 😁
Thank you so much I will give this a try
Thank you, I hope you do give this challenge a go ❤️
I find that with mixed media, you can't be afraid to get messy. I can see that with your being neat & and tidy, will be hard to switch. But your card is beautiful.
Oh definitely, I love the freedom of it. I just have to control how far the mess goes as I don't have a huge desk space to work on so it gets overwhelmed very quickly. I enjoyed putting this card together though and I'm looking forward to the rest of the cards 😁x
Oh this sounds like so much fun. I love challenges like this. I cam here from Hither And Yon Studios. I will be joining you all soon as I do need to catch up on another challenge first. I love that this is only one day a week. Have a wonderful day and Happy New Year. P.S. I just subscribed and hit that bell so I won't miss your new videos ☺♥
Hello and welcome! Thank you for joining the channel and I hope to see your altered cards ❤️
I gotta get back into this again! Thank you!!
Thank you ❤️ I would love to see your cards!
Love your card and using mixed media!! I participated last year so may have to join in this year too!
Yay! I'm so happy you'll be joining in the challenge again 😁👏🏻
I love how this turned out. So inspiring. I also learned a tip I’ve never thought of before when you used the sponge brush to apply the glue to the delicate item. I’ve also seen others use a fan brush for splatters. ThanX!
Thank you so much ❤️ I have now been given tips to use a brush with stiff bristles to get a good splatter 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to working along with this.
Stiffer bristles might help with the splatters, I use a toothbrush.
Thank you for watching! Oh, great tip for the splatters, thank you! I will try a stiffer brush x
I am joining in this year! I found your channel late last year and followed several weeks. I was hoping you were going to do it again so I could participate.
Yay! Thank you so much 😊 I'm glad you are wanting to take part this year too ❤️
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago when I stumbled across your 2024 card share. I've never done anything like this and always wanted to try mixed media. I think this will be perfect! I'm very much looking forward to joining you in 2025. Thanks very much for hosting this challenge. 😊
Hello and welcome! Thank you for watching and I am so happy that you are excited about the challenge this year ❤️
It was interesting that you watched Lou Collins for guidance on mixed media. I follow Lou and have those 5 steps on my craft room wall. Will enjoy doing these challenges x
Thank you 😊 I've been watching Lou for about a year now, following these steps, and that's what prompted me to have a more mixed media challenge this year. Because I enjoy doing it but I don't often get the chance 😁
I’m so glad you are doing this again this year. I really enjoyed watching last years challenges. I’m going to try to follow along this year even though I don’t do videos.
Yay! I'm so pleased that you enjoy the challenges and will try to follow along this year 😊 thank you for watching x
I plan on playing along this year and fingers crossed I get all 52 weeks accomplished ❤
Yay! I'm so pleased you will be joining in on the fun 😁 x
I love how it turned out, I’ve gathered my stuff and I’m ready to splatter 😂❤
Lol, I've had lots of tips to use a brush with stiff bristles so make sure you have one of those! x
@ I cheated, I used a marker 😂😂😂😂
@sophievandale5633 😯 you can do it with markers?! You'll have to demonstrate that in a video!
Hi Suzanne, love this challenge! So happy you’ve decided to continue it with a twist! You awesomely explained how you were working so thanks for the tutorial! Your card turned out fabulous! 😘 Trish
Thank you so much Trish 😊 I think this year's challenges are going to be lots of fun....messy...but lots of fun! 😅
Absolutely love this so much. ❤ I am also looking forward to seeing your make each week. 🥰
Thank you Sandra ❤️ this was such a fun card, I am hoping to see a growth of my skills when I do my flip through at the end of the year 😁
This is a wonderful idea, I will definitely be starting week 1 tonight. Thank you!
Yay! I'm so pleased you will be joining in with the challenge 😁
I think I’ll join in. This looks like so much fun!
Yay! I'm so happy you will be joining the challenge 😁
Wonderful card, this will be challenging!
Thanks ❤️ it was a fun challenge
I really love this challenge! I am a newbie and this seems like a great way to start. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much 😊 it's a great challenge if you want to start with something small and a weekly challenge, hopefully, isn't too demanding for those that don't have a lot of time x
Love it!! ❤ Going to give it my best shot to follow along this year!
Thank you ❤️ I would love for you to follow along!
I love the challenge for this year! You card is gorgeous❤
Thank you so much Isabel 🥰
Beautiful. I'm so excited to get started although I haven't finished 2024's cards yet! I was new to JJ in the middle of last year and have learnt so much already but the index cards with 3 prompts really pushed and inspired me. I have just started dabbling in mixed media so think this challenge will be brilliant for me. I also feel more prepared to just have 1 prompt now as my skills grow. Going to try and keep up with the weeks this time too. Week 1 will be getting done tomorrow as I've been on holiday. ❤
Thank you 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the challenges last year and are keen to start this year's too! I hope you had a lovely holiday x
I don't have index cards, but will use my blank cards for my Rolodex, I found in a thrift store!
Great idea! I'm so happy that you want to join in the challenges 😊
Love this! I am looking forward to learning from you. Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊 x

@ great thank you!!
Shhhh don’t tell anybody. I rediscovered a thrift store find of a bunch of blank white cards. I got out my paper trimmer and cut those cards in half. Instant index cards. They’re a bit bigger than index cards. 😮😂❤
😄 sounds like a great hack to me! I cut down an old mixed media pad I had to create my cards ❤️
Awesome job. Love that die cut from book page. What is it called?
Thank you! I bought the die a few years ago (unbranded die I think)
Here is a link to it on Amazon.com
