So excited to play along this year! !🎉🎉 need to stretch my mixed media muscles 😊. Thank you for the list and hashtags!! Your make came out so great…inspiring!
Hi Suzanne, love this challenge! So happy you’ve decided to continue it with a twist! You awesomely explained how you were working so thanks for the tutorial! Your card turned out fabulous! 😘 Trish
Your card looks beautiful! I love mixed media as I feel it's about embracing the mess and finding beauty in it. Trust the process! Amazing inspiration, thank you!
I love how this turned out. So inspiring. I also learned a tip I’ve never thought of before when you used the sponge brush to apply the glue to the delicate item. I’ve also seen others use a fan brush for splatters. ThanX!
I’m so glad you are doing this again this year. I really enjoyed watching last years challenges. I’m going to try to follow along this year even though I don’t do videos.
It was interesting that you watched Lou Collins for guidance on mixed media. I follow Lou and have those 5 steps on my craft room wall. Will enjoy doing these challenges x
Thank you 😊 I've been watching Lou for about a year now, following these steps, and that's what prompted me to have a more mixed media challenge this year. Because I enjoy doing it but I don't often get the chance 😁
Beautiful. I'm so excited to get started although I haven't finished 2024's cards yet! I was new to JJ in the middle of last year and have learnt so much already but the index cards with 3 prompts really pushed and inspired me. I have just started dabbling in mixed media so think this challenge will be brilliant for me. I also feel more prepared to just have 1 prompt now as my skills grow. Going to try and keep up with the weeks this time too. Week 1 will be getting done tomorrow as I've been on holiday. ❤
Thank you so much 😊 it's a great challenge if you want to start with something small and a weekly challenge, hopefully, isn't too demanding for those that don't have a lot of time x
Thank you for the inspiration. Your card looks great. I am hoping to get onboard with this challenge. I do find a fan brush works fantastic for splatters.
Oh you'll love this, I posted this on Facebook yesterday. And then your video comes up today... 🤣🤣🤣 Watches a UA-cam art tutorial. The demonstrator continues "and we're just going to finish off our project with a little splatter." She taps the paintbrush over her art and a tidy, splatter is left on her page. My turn. Dips paintbrush in the paint. Tap. Nothing. Ooh maybe I need to water the paint down a bit more. Adds water. Dips paintbrush in. Tap. Now there is a wonderful splatter over the whole of my artwork, the surrounding table and it's contents, the two walls in front of me, and... my face! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 that was me! I had it all up my arm, on my face, all over my desk but only two or three splatters actually landed on my work! 🤦🏻♀️ I did state at the beginning I wasn't an expert and I think this video proves it 😅x
I am joining in this year! I found your channel late last year and followed several weeks. I was hoping you were going to do it again so I could participate.
I find that with mixed media, you can't be afraid to get messy. I can see that with your being neat & and tidy, will be hard to switch. But your card is beautiful.
Oh definitely, I love the freedom of it. I just have to control how far the mess goes as I don't have a huge desk space to work on so it gets overwhelmed very quickly. I enjoyed putting this card together though and I'm looking forward to the rest of the cards 😁x
Shhhh don’t tell anybody. I rediscovered a thrift store find of a bunch of blank white cards. I got out my paper trimmer and cut those cards in half. Instant index cards. They’re a bit bigger than index cards. 😮😂❤
Is there a place to download a list of the prompts from previous years? 2025 will be my first time joining but would maybe like to create one's from previous years.

Thank you so much Trish 😊 I think this year's challenges are going to be lots of fun....messy...but lots of fun! 😅
Your card looks beautiful! I love mixed media as I feel it's about embracing the mess and finding beauty in it. Trust the process! Amazing inspiration, thank you!
Thank you so much 😊 it always starts off a bit of a hot mess but comes together by the end 😁x
I love how this turned out. So inspiring. I also learned a tip I’ve never thought of before when you used the sponge brush to apply the glue to the delicate item. I’ve also seen others use a fan brush for splatters. ThanX!
Thank you so much ❤️ I have now been given tips to use a brush with stiff bristles to get a good splatter 👍🏻
Yay, the first altered index of 2025! Looks fantastic! Thank you for explaining the process of mixed media too. You make it really understandable 😊❤
Thank you so much Yvonne! I'm glad I managed to explain it well 😊 I'm excited to start the new one now! x
Love it!! ❤ Going to give it my best shot to follow along this year!
Thank you ❤️ I would love for you to follow along!

Thank you 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the challenges last year and are keen to start this year's too! I hope you had a lovely holiday x
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to working along with this.
Stiffer bristles might help with the splatters, I use a toothbrush.
Thank you for watching! Oh, great tip for the splatters, thank you! I will try a stiffer brush x
I really love this challenge! I am a newbie and this seems like a great way to start. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much 😊 it's a great challenge if you want to start with something small and a weekly challenge, hopefully, isn't too demanding for those that don't have a lot of time x
Absolutely love this so much. ❤ I am also looking forward to seeing your make each week. 🥰
Thank you Sandra ❤️ this was such a fun card, I am hoping to see a growth of my skills when I do my flip through at the end of the year 😁
Its is so exciting to see the card develope 😮 I've never dared to explore mixed media, so Im allready hooked on this serie ❤ Greetings from Denmark 😊
Thank you so much 😊 I hope you are inspired enough to give it a try!
I love how it turned out, I’ve gathered my stuff and I’m ready to splatter 😂❤
Lol, I've had lots of tips to use a brush with stiff bristles so make sure you have one of those! x
@ I cheated, I used a marker 😂😂😂😂
@sophievandale5633 😯 you can do it with markers?! You'll have to demonstrate that in a video!
Thank you for the inspiration. Your card looks great. I am hoping to get onboard with this challenge. I do find a fan brush works fantastic for splatters.
Thank you 😊 yes, I have had some tips on different brushes for the splatters, I hope to try those in a future video 😀
Great card, thanks Suzanne
Thank you ❤️
I plan on playing along this year and fingers crossed I get all 52 weeks accomplished ❤
Yay! I'm so pleased you will be joining in on the fun 😁 x
Oh you'll love this, I posted this on Facebook yesterday. And then your video comes up today... 🤣🤣🤣

2025 is going to be so messy! I LoVe it!!! :D
Lol, yes it is! 😅
I am joining in this year! I found your channel late last year and followed several weeks. I was hoping you were going to do it again so I could participate.
Yay! Thank you so much 😊 I'm glad you are wanting to take part this year too ❤️

I don't have index cards, but will use my blank cards for my Rolodex, I found in a thrift store!
Great idea! I'm so happy that you want to join in the challenges 😊
Do you have the prompts page available somewhere to be able to print it out? Love this card!
Hi, yes the prompts page is in my KoFi shop (free). Here is the link 👍🏻 ko-fi.com/nonstoppapercrafts
Thank you ❤️
Shhhh don’t tell anybody. I rediscovered a thrift store find of a bunch of blank white cards. I got out my paper trimmer and cut those cards in half. Instant index cards. They’re a bit bigger than index cards. 😮😂❤
😄 sounds like a great hack to me! I cut down an old mixed media pad I had to create my cards ❤️
I loved what you have done with this card. can I ask what is the size ? ❤
Thank you so much 😊 the size I am using is 5.5" x 4"
Awesome job. Love that die cut from book page. What is it called?
Thank you! I bought the die a few years ago (unbranded die I think)
Here is a link to it on Amazon.com

@nonstoppapercrafts thank you so much. Just ordered one.
Is there a place to download a list of the prompts from previous years? 2025 will be my first time joining but would maybe like to create one's from previous years.
