CREATIVE ARTISTE MIXED MEDIA - #122 - ANYTHING GOES BUT WITH A TWIST OF A CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE





Welcome back to our final challenge of this year at Creative Artiste Mixed Media- we hope you have had fun exploring Mixed Media and you have tried out some  projects and products that are new to you. We have the extra twist this month of creating something Christmassy for our final challenge. 

 I have a little Christmas book to share with you - jam packed full of mixed media goodies - mainly all by Tim Holtz. 

The outer cover has been made with some material to which I added some Tim Holtz collage paper called Holly.  I edged the material with Tim Holtz washi ribbon and added the large 25 to the front. I used Tim Holtz velvet ribbon as a binder. 


Here are all the pages in the little book which actually comes away from its front covering.













The Creative Artiste Design Team will be taking their annual winter break during January. 


We will be back on February 6th 2026 with the December winners and Challenge #123. 



I'm adding this into the following:

Lets craft and create - vintage feel
