Hi everyone! I’m sad to share some big changes happening in my crafting world.
Challenge YOUrself will be closing after this month's 150th challenge.
Yes, it was a difficult and bittersweet decision, but it is time for Challenge YOUrself to close.
Challenge YOUrself #150 runs from June 7, 2026, through July 4th, 2026, at midnight EST.
This month, Challenge YOUrself is focusing on saying goodbye. As they close, they’d love to hear your thoughts on what saying goodbye means to you. Whether it’s a heartfelt emotional farewell, a funny or unique way to say goodbye, or anything related to saying goodbye and its significance, they’re all ears! PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE A PHOTO OF YOU IN YOUR PROJECT!
I created a mixed media scrapbook page for their final challenge:
I used a combination of “49 and Market” papers with “Mintay” embellishments. I typed my journaling, and I believe that says it all! I will miss Challenge YOUrself, but I am certain that this is the appropriate moment to say goodbye.
I hope you have the opportunity to join in on the fun at Challenge YOUrself this month. They would be delighted to see your projects for their final challenge.
ArtStacks also has changes:
ArtStacks’ main hub will now be located at the offices of The Dusty Attic, a renowned Australian business that has been supplying chipboard and other crafting materials to the paper-crafting community for years.
However, you can still order ArtStacks’ papers through the ArtStacks website at www.artstacks.com.au/shop or Dusty Attic's website at https://dustyattic.com.au/
Also, new posts will appear on the Dusty Attic social media sites. You can find them at https://www.facebook.com/dustyattic and https://www.instagram.com/dusty_attic/
ArtStacks will no longer have a dedicated design team. I’ll miss being on their team, but I completely understand the need for change.
I am also linking up my project at Art Journal Journey Monthly's June theme:
Matilde from Craftowanie, is guest-hosting for June, and her theme is "Houses and Buildings."
As you can see, there are 2 birdhouses (from Mintay collection) on my page. Thank you so much, Matilde, for hosting AJJ in June!
And I hope you get a chance to play along at Art Journal Journey Monthly.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful June!
That's too bad Artstacks are not having a design team any longer, but the times move on, don't they? You made a wonderful page to complete your term. I love the smaller photos and how you actually journaled quite a bit. This is a wonderful entry for Matilde's challenge. Thank you for joining. I hope you have had a great s tart to June and have great rest of the month too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of change all at once. I'm looking forward to seeing where your creative journey goes next.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad about ArtStacks. Seems they are no longer in the blogger/web universe,, but now specialize in two social media sites. Thanks for sharing this lovely way to reminisce. This is also a heartfelt entry for Matilde's theme at AJJ.
