New Mixed Media Challenge Blog and Design Team Announcement!

I am so happy to be able to finally share this info with you all! I was asked to be a Design Team member for a NEW challenge blog! I can't contain my glee at this opportunity! The new challenge blog is called Anything But Cute. Awesome right? I know!!!! Feel free to check out this new blog, and remember to hit that Follow button! I am going to be sharing some wonderful creations over there, as well as some tutorials.


Here is some information about the new blog:
Anything But Cute is a brand new mixed media challenge blog with a new challenge starting on the 5th day of every month at 7:00 am EST. 
We welcome all types of crafts. Cards, journal pages, scrapbook pages, 3D crafts, canvas art, altered items and any other handmade paper or mixed media arts. We encourage crafters of all skill levels and styles - shabby chic, grunge, vintage, elegant, stylish, retro, you name it. As our name indicates, the only style we are not showcasing - are all things cute and adorable. There must be at least one mixed media product on your project somewhere, be that paint, ink, stain, spray, paste, clay, crackle glaze...whatever tickles your fancy!
At Anything But Cute, we would love to see all you seasoned and expert mixed media artists, but we also want to encourage those of you who are just getting your feet wet. Our design team will always be on the lookout for these exceptional projects and artists. You just never know when we might be giving out something special to a mixed media beginner. We all have to start somewhere, right!
Our first challenge starts on May 5th, so let's get messy and have some fun!
Our next Design Team member will be announced on April 16th! Are you excited to see who it is? I know you all will be inspired by her because I sure am! Hugz and Carpe Diem! ~Niki

  3. Congratulations on your new DT position - well deserved. I too am in awe of your new blog design. My blog needs a makeover but I haven't been able to find the time - better change that soon because it looks pretty shabby compared to this.
    Hugs!
