CREATIVE ARTISTE MIXED MEDIA - 100TH CHALLENGE




Welcome to our 100th edition of Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge

Wow isn't that something.  And to celebrate I am offering a prize for one lucky winner.  I look forward to seeing all  your entries and, as usual, please ensure that your projects are mixed media.  If you are unsure we do list in our Rules what counts as mixed media.

My project is a Tim Holtz style Accordion Folio.  I created the folio myself rather than purchase the ready made one - they are very easy to make and they can become quite addictive.  This is the second one I've made in a month and this one just had to be a Christmas one using some of Tim Holtz Ideaology pieces.

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas or whatever season you celebrate and look forward to seeing you all again in 2024!

I'm adding this into the following challenges

Your folio is stunning Fiona, loved looking at the pictures trying to take it all in but I know it will be even more fascinating to see in real time. Magnificent make, I know how addictive they can be to make and yours is amazing.
Wishing you all the best for the coming season & a Happy New Year.

I so adore accordion folios, Fiona--and you're right, they can get so addictive, haha! There's so much holiday goodness in your folio, and I'm just swooning imagining the wonderful tactile experience of flipping through its pages. :-) Happy holidays!! xo

I knew I was going to loooooooooove what you did inside Fiona. Funny I have only recently been looking at trying something similar and low and behold my bff has sent me the most beautiful item similar to yours. So glad you showed photos as I don't have Instagram to view it in all it's beauty. Stunning and creative and full of beauty. Merry Christmas.
