Butch Femme Planet - Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types

I am new to this art journalling stuff. Each week they have prompts(on saturdays) Part of why I am doing this is to move beyond the mine isn't as good/doesn't look like I want it to/i don't want to share because Idon't want to be judged stuff.

I teach art journaling, everyone thinks their pages aren't good or "right". There is no right or wrong, it's a journal, much like the written word type, the theory being, what you produce at any given moment is what was meant to be there. I would love to share and exchange tips and tricks, and products used.

Keep up with the art journal, I have about 10 going on any given day. It is one of my greatest outlets, I just love it.

Hey all,

Decided I have too much going on to give this project the time it deserves so taking my name off before the Friday deadline. Everyone enjoy and happy spring! (Saw a few daffodils blooming today so it must be on the way!) :bouquet:

Thank you everyone for the explanations and encouragement! I will jump in and give it a try. Also, I updated the list; since I was adding to it I didn't want to re-post the names that have come off. I hope that was okay.

There is hope, after the last of the snow, that the world will be green again.

First day of Spring is March 20th, and too close to meet that day for many of us. So, the Easter Bunny comes hop hop hopping along (to some of us) April 5, 2015. A basket, a tiskit a tasket, green and yellow basket. ! !
A colored egg, a bunny, a spring bouquet, a glimpse of spring happiness. A picture, a postcard, a crafty project, a pot holder, a fake egg, or a real egg (Umm) colored real pretty. A coloring book picture. Your choice. Just stay in those reasonable dimensions ( 4x6 ).

These are the rules, Georgia!

The point is to be creative so we're not going to nit pick you with a lot of rules and requirements; just give you a starting point and a finish point and it's up to you how you get from point A to point B.

Just be mindful of your sizing and timing. Also, if you use anything that might need permission from people.....candy for example....then do that now through here or PMs.

As Craig Ferguson says on Celebrity Name Game: Off you go!

Does everyone have their goodies to work with? I raided Michael's the other day and am super excited about my project. I've got a clear plan of action and will be done well before the March 24th mail deadline.

I know what you mean though. Sometimes I just cannot translate what's in my head to what I hold in my hands.

This one is going to be super fun though. Still excited!

One month from today _April 5th_ is the deadline to get your projects in the mail!!!!

Remember, we're cracking down on the tardy participants so if you're late, you're done participating for the year.

:police:

I've had fun printing stuff out and putting my bits and pieces together. I missed this.

Am I confused? I thought March 24th was the deadline.

Don't be confused.

You're right!

It is the 24th of March. I looked earlier in Tommi's post, when he said April 5th. I got that stuck in my head. I may or may not be excited about having Easter off at work.

Or it could be snow brain.

We got another 10 inches yesterday.

:blink:

Nevermind what I said before.

You only have 18 DAYS to finish and mail your projects!!!!!

One thing that maybe Tommi could clear up is that in the same post it says to send 7 and then to send 8 projects out. I'm doing extras so it doesn't matter to me but for those who aren't making extras, that should be made a little more clear.
