I am Happy . . . for More Than Words Challenges and Art Journal Journey Monthly

Hi everyone!  I am here today sharing a project that I made for the new More Than Words challenge.  

Did you know that More Than Words challenges re-opened April of 2025? I was excited to see that they have new challenges in September as well.

How do they work?

Here is more information about how you can participate in September's challenges . . .

Don't forget to use the proper hashtag on IG when you enter: #MTWChallengeSept2025

The September Week 3 challenge:

I decided to make a mixed media art journal page using Lisa Oxley's "Bright and Bold" Artist Series pack from ArtStacks' for week 3.

This pack is available in both digital and printed forms. Head over to www.artstacks.com.au/shop to see all of the beautiful papers inside this pack!

Here is the art journal page that I created for the third week of September’s MTW Challenge:

I truly enjoyed creating my art journal page. I have been interested in participating in the new MTW challenges since they re-opened, and finally found some time this week.

Their September Week 3 items are as follows:

Word: Happy - Happy was used as my title.

Technique: Paint - I used watercolor paints for my background.

Misc: Rainbow - The rainbow images and hearts are from ArtStacks' "Bright and Bold" Artist Series pack by Lisa Oxley.

For more information about MTW challenges, head over to MTW on IG .  And you can see what their talented design team members have created, too!

I am also linking up my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's challenge for September.

This month is hosted by Mia from Craftartista.

Her theme for September is ‘Make Your Own Background!' 

I loved making my own background for this art journal page.  I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at AJJ. I really love participating in their challenges every month.

That's it for today.  

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  Your visits mean the world to me.  

Enjoy the rest of your September.  

WOW! For ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly

Hi everyone!  Today I'm sharing a project that I made for the ArtStacks Artist Team.  I am up on their blog today!

 

I created a mixed media scrapbook page using their newest releases:

The Doors & Windows 2 pack:

and Weathered Walls pack:

Head over to www.artstacks.com/au/shop to see these beautiful packs in detail!

Here is my page using the ArtStacks new releases:

And here is a close-up view with the door closed:

I made this 8 1/2 X 11 inch mixed media scrapbook page using a photo that I took during a morning walk - it's of the shadow of me and my dog, Abbey!  Head over to the Artstacks blog at www.artstacks.com.au/blog to see my step by step tutorial!  I always enjoy making projects using Artstacks' packs and hope that I have inspired you to create one!

 

I am also linking my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's theme for June:

This month is hosted by Matilde at 100% Handmade/Craftowanie. Her theme for June is What Makes You Happy?  

Madilde says "Please show us everything that makes you happy.  I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas for this theme.  I hope you will enjoy it and join is this month."

I made a project about walking with my dog, Abbey every morning.  This routine of ours makes me happier than ever!

I hope you get a chance to check out the all entries made by the talented artists that take part in AJJ Monthly.  And I want to thank Matailde for hosting this fun challenge. 

And thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.   Hope the rest of your June is a great!
