MMJ 2021...Messy, Mixed and Joyful - CHAT/POST Creations Here
Welcome to the MMJ's.....If you like messy, texture, mixed media and fun, then you are in the right place. Our challenges aren't intended to take away from what's on this wonderful site, but to give you further inspiration and maybe for those times when you are craving more MM and need a fix.
These challenges started with 2 of us who needed such inspiration during a time when we had lost our mojo. Now there's a little band of us who are playing each month and sharing our different take on some cool MM techniques.
HOW DOES IT WORK.....someone finds 1 or 2 MM videos, shares them and we take inspiration from them for our project. Currently there's 3 of us who have been finding videos, but anyone who wishes to share something, post on this thread and so we can keep a note of who is doing the monthly challenge. The more the merrier.
WHEN IS THE CHALLENGE?.....this is currently a monthly challenge and to allow everyone to still play in all the other SCS challenges.
WHAT DO WE MAKE?.....Whatever you wish. A card, journal/scrapbook page, tag, ATC....whatever you want.
WHEN DO WE POST OUR PROJECT?.....we have been posting on the 15th of each month, however now we have this thread, post whenever you wish. Just make sure you post your project link back here so we can all see it and leave you some love.
The important thing is to have FUN!
Note: This thread for Chat and links to your creations only. Thanks.
KEYWORD: Each month we have a new keyword starting with MMJ......
See the challenges on the link below for details and keyword.

Awesome Jayne!!! You did a great job of setting up this thread. I'm so happy that you and Nancy created this fun activity for us! I can't wait for my company to leave to I can get inky again. LOL ;)

I hope to play from time to time. MM is not my usual style but CAS gets old after a while. Subbing for now.

Oh, good, you did it. And now I'm going to make a suggestion, because when there is a lot of chatter, the challenges are going to get lost in the thread.
So my suggestion:
Option 1: Put the title and keyword of each challenge in post 1 with a note as to what post # the challenge in located in.
Option 2: Post a new thread for each challenge.
Option 3: Have a separate thread to post all the challenges with NO CHAT. All chat, including putting in links to your creations remains in this current thread, not the challenge thread. I think this option probably makes the most sense.
Let me know what you think.

Sharon, I popped Jayne's challenge emails into a separate folder in gmail, so I could find them quickly. I do the same thing with Ann's address lists.

Sharon that is thoughtful of you, but it may be confusing to remember your post with the links is post number six. Unless you put a link to it in your signature line. That might work.

I'm not sure, but I don't think if you edit a post, we get a notification, only notified for a new post. Or even if we did get a notification, we wouldn't know a post was edited. I was just thinking how Dani used to post the challenge right in the chat thread, and it was so easy to miss it amidst the chatter.

Thanks ladies for the suggestions. All are good. I was thinking last night when I set it up that I may do it as option 3 of what Melody suggests and similar to what Ann does for the Alpha challenges. I think this thread should be chat only and challenges and projects separately. I’ll fix it up when I can but I do appreciate your input. This is all new to me but makes it easier than emailing as I forget who asked to join in lol.
Kathy so glad that you are here and even if you don’t like MM you may see something that you would like to try on one of your projects..even a small section.
Happy day you messy mixed Joyful misses...if anyone has a better name please say and I will change it lol

Hi everyone, I chose to run with Melody's third option. Check out the challenge thread only and make sure you subscribe to it Let's use this thread for chat and posting our beautiful creations unless someone thinks we should post them on the challenge thread?? Suggestions please. Have fun

I have my paper towels out ready and have just made a very quick cling film BG which is drying. I tried the cling film technique a few weeks ago but they didn’t come out well so I’ve been watching a couple of videos whilst lying down and got some more tips. Hopefully this one will be better...watch this space lol.
I can’t wait to see what you all make with your paper towels. I’ve got 3 ideas I’m going to try.

I’ve made a couple of pieces but my towels are on a jumbo roll so not as thick as some but I’ve done a couple of pieces, one I’m fairly pleased with and had a pleasing result with what I’m trying,I’ve left it drying so I will see how’s its gone tomorrow!

I love mixed media and really want to start doing more of it. Challenges sound like fun.Although, I'm a little confused. There are several challenges posted all on the same day. Are we supposed to do them all now?

Jayne and Nancy started the challenge 4 months ago, so the current challenge is the 4th one. But you can do them as you wish. I have only done the 3rd so far. I'm a late arrival.

Welcome JavaGirl984. Thanks Melody for clarifying.
We used to email the challenges and have only just decided to have them on this site as a separate thread. You can take inspiration from them at any time you wish. Look forward to seeing what you create.

Ah, okay. They all had the same date so I was confused. That makes sense. So where are we sharing links to what we make? I don't see any in here or the challenge thread. I guess I'm just late to the game and have no clue. ;)I just spent some time watching some of the videos for the challenges and hope to have some time later this week to play.

Hi Jayne, I did write a post #10. It's been awhile since I've been here, with company all week! I have to finish my DTGD20 challenge samples...then, I'll get to work on MMJ challenges! Can't wait! You did an awesome job setting this up for us! THANKS so much!
So do we add all our previous MMJ challenge project links here?

Yay, more people to play with!!! I totally love watching MM Videos and am on a mission to get better at it all. I find I can lose all my worries and cares when I am seriously "playing" with paints, ink, or whatever fun thing we chose to play with each time. I am off to watch the new videos and start thinking.....
