New Pass The Art Journal Challenge - Ready to Go!
Okay DCs that are playing along...here are the guidelines for your art journal entries.

The journal pages measure 6" x 8" and there are 16 pages total in the journal.

Each Cherry will do a 2 page spread. Design is your choice as long as it does not have dimension that will make the journal "lumpy" and difficult to close.

Next, you will add something to the prior Cherry's pages too. You can add a stamped image, some doodling, washi tape, your name, whatever you want just so it's relatively flat same as your own 2 page spread.

Since the journal starts with a right hand page, I will do the first and last pages. The next cherry to follow me on the list will add to the first and last pages.

Inside the front cover, there is a place to sign your name and add a comment if you choose.

When you have completed everything, you will mail it on to the next DC on the list. You should be able to mail in an 8 x 10 envelope.

POST YOUR PAGES HERE ALONG WITH ADDITIONS MADE TO YOUR PARTNER CHERRY.  WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR CREATIONS!

Questions? Please PM me.

Here is the mailing order.

1. Vicki/Mailing to Birgit on 9/5/24  (the journal fit perfectly in a 6" x 9.25" envelope)

2. Birgit55~Chickadee/Birgit*

3. Traveler/Louise*

4. Jolly Holly/Holly*

5. suewho372/Susan*

6. Kelly R/Kelly

7. DrSonja/Sonja

8. Lisn2cats/Elissa (mailing back to me)

Additional info...

Please try to keep the time that you have the journal to a reasonable limit. I'm a slow crafter and totally understand that it's not an instant turn around.

There are printed address labels for each of the participating Cherries along with a list that shows the mailing order. I will also PM you the address of the person that you mail to next.

Again, if you have any questions, please PM me.

Re: New Pass The Art Journal Challenge
I'm trying to understand the order of pages we are to create.
You said there are 16 pages, there are 8 participants and each will do a "2 page spread". You will do the first and last pages--1 & 16.
So, the page order will be:
1-VickiR
2-Birgit
3-Birgit
4-Louise
5-Louise
6-Holly
7-Holly
8-Sue
9-Sue
10-Kelly
11-Kelly
12-Sonja
13-Sonja
14-Ellisa
15-Ellisa
16-VickiR

Then you said "first Cherry to follow me will add to the first and last pages. And you instructed to "add something to the prior Cherry's pages, too". Does that mean that I (Sonja) will add to Kelly's pages only, or ALL prior Cherries?

Sorry, I just needed some clarification on this part of it.

No worries... You have the pages correct.  I was trying to let Birgit know (she follows me) that she will add to the first and last pages that are mine.  You will complete your two pages and then add a little something to Kelly's two pages.  Elissa follows you and will add something to your two pages.

Here is a link to the live video that Rachel and Jess did... We aren't able to pass the journal back and forth between us, so we're just adding a bit to the person that has the journal immediately prior to us.  I hope this helps.

Rachel and Jess Pass the Art Journal

Re: New Pass The Art Journal Challenge
Sounds like fun!  Can't wait to see the completed journal.  Are we supposed to take photo's of our work and post it on this thread?  I'd love to see everyone's pages, since I'm second on the list.

Re: New Pass The Art Journal Challenge
Okay Cherries on this journal journey...my pages are completed and the journal is packaged for mailing to Birgit. Birgit will add a little something to my two pages and then complete her two pages.  She will mail to the next Cherry on the list and that Cherry will do the same.  And so on...  Questions?  PM me. 

I've included photos of both pages and the inside cover pages.  The cover is fabric washi that I will alter when it gets back to me.

First page (right side start)
enjoy the little things
Image
Last page (left side finish)
live in the moment

Inside of front and back covers.  There's a butterfly to personalize however you choose!

The journal arrived yesterday.  Yayyyy!!!  It's more beautiful in real life.  I can't wait to get creating in it.  Hopefully time will allow this afternoon.  If not, I'm home all day tomorrow.  This is such a clever idea, Vicki!  I'm so glad to be a part of it.

Re: New Pass The Art Journal Challenge - Ready to Go!
Thought I'd give you an update on the art journal, so far.  I've had a super busy weekend so didn't get to make my own entry yet, but I added to Vicki's entry by adding texture paste using a brick stencil and sprinkling microfine glitter over the top to add some sparkle.
Image
Here is Vicki's original

Image
Here's a photo after I added the texture paste and glitter.  Top corner and below is bottom corner.

I have an appointment this morning then groceries and other dull errands.  Hopefully the rest of the afternoon will be getting my craft on in the art journal.

It's subtle but sparkly adding to the page's gorgeous-ness and textury layers. I can't wait to see this IRL!!!

Re: New Pass The Art Journal Challenge - Ready to Go!
I finished my double page layout yesterday in Vicki's Art Journal
Image
Mediums / techniques used:  stamping, die cuts, rub-ons, ink blending, stenciling.
ImageImage
The journal will be on its way to Louise ~ Traveler in today's mail.  Thanks so much Vicki for this brilliant idea of passing the Art Journal.  It's been a while since I've done anything in my own art journals and now I'm inspired once again to pull them out and get creative.  This was so fun!  I was glad to be a part of it.
