Welcome to another challenge week with mixed media right here in the Mix-Ability forum!
Our challenge is to be inspired by the cover of a favorite book from the color, layout, image or whatever else is inspiring. Remember to use 2 or more mediums to qualify for the mixed media challenge and have some fun!
Well, it was hard to think of a book. To Kill a Mockingbird is defnitely in my top favourites but not an inspiring cover - and the Terry Pratchett books require a range of fantasy stamps which I wouldn't ever aspire to have in my collection. So I thought back, and went with The Man Who Was Magic, by Paul Gallico. Attaching a photo of the original dust-cover - mine was lost long ago!! Looking at it now, I guess in the end the pink of my card matches more my book cover than the original paper one. Oh well - I was inspired by it.
Janelle I have toooooo many favorite books - I am always reading a book. So that is why I have a stack of books on my card. Giggles ... such a fun challenge today!!

Hi, I am new to this challenge and have a question - Is it necessary to make a card or can I make a journal page too? The challenge this week is really interesting and I am hoping to try and make a page with it. Thanks
For a mixed media challenge I'm sure an art journal page will be just great! In fact for most of the daily challenges, you don't have to make a card..except where it is strictly dictated by the type of challenge.
