Kickstart Your Art Challenge–Day 1!

 

Hello!  We’re doing a week-long Kickstart Your Art Challenge again this year!  We’re doing this event in conjunction with the Smeared and Smudged FB group, so please come and join us if you haven’t already.

Here’s how it works: 

“It's a new year and we want to help you KICKSTART YOUR ART! What better way to experiment with new techniques and ideas than creating your very own ART JOURNAL for 2015!


The Smeared and Smudged Art Journal Every Day DT are so excited to be hosting our second week-long journal challenge extravaganza! Each morning at 9am PST, for seven days, we will post a journal prompt or technique for challenge participants. The participants will have 24hours to post their journal page for that day's challenge. The daily winner will be announced the next morning along with the new journal challenge. Daily prizes will vary from gift certificates to coupons to free digis!


The fun thing about it is, at the end of the seven days we will be drawing for a grand prize! In order to qualify, participants must have posted entries in all seven journal challenges.


We look forward to this week long fun fest, and we hope you can play along!!!


Join us Monday, January 26th for your first prompt!”

January S&S AJED Prompt

Hello!  I’m here today to show you the page that I created to go along with Julia’s art journal prompt for this month within the Smeared and Smudged FB group.  If you haven’t become a member yet, please do.  We would love to have you playing along with our challenges and prompts.

Julia’s prompt this month is SKULLS.

Here’s the page that I made, using one of Rick St. Dennis’ rubber stamp designs from Smeared Ink.  This stamp is from the Morte set.
