Wow......

Where on earth did the past month go? - Does not seem that long since we first landed.  

We would like to thank all who took part in our last challenge - so many talented people here in blogland.  We can tell you all enjoyed creating them as it shows in the end product.  We certainly enjoyed them.  We will be announcing the winners etc within the next week or so.

It is now time for our second challenge and the DT have produced such fabulously beautiful inspirational projects for you to gaze at.  I know I cannot stop looking at them and I am sure you will be too.

The theme is always going to be anything goes so no excuses to let yourself go and create, create, create!  We would like you to share yourself with us.

Now onto the fantastic DT inspiration for you to soak up and enjoy.

Yayyyy - The ALTERED ECLECTICS HAVE FINALLY LANDED....

Hello everyone,

First of all I would like to say thank you for joining us for our first challenge.  The wait has been like a never ending road for myself and my fabulous team.Secondly, I would like to thank you for actually reading this (perhaps I should have said that at the end for when you are losing the will to live!

The main reason for me setting up this blog is for all those people, who on occasion, enjoy making anything other than a cards, scrapbook pages and ATC's.  There are so many challenge blogs out there for such.  I just wanted another place to go for all those who like to express themselves using any other media.

I have added a page with a list of challenge blogs who accept altered/mixed media.  Some will have themes however it does us a chance to enter.  There will be a comments box for anyone visiting who would like to share any places they know that we don't or have just simply forgotten.  We will appreciate it as much as everyone else participating in our challenges.  We all want to know where to go play lol.

Our challenges go live on the first of every month and the theme will always be ANYTHING GOES so everyone has the chance to bare their souls in their art.

Before I go any further, you may have noticed there are no winner badges yet - I just have not kicked myself hard enough to sort them yet.  I will though I promise.

Entries are unlimited - I think exposure is important when so much time and effort has been taken to produce works of art.  I do not want anyone feeling their work is not good enough to enter our challenges.  We are all our own worst critics and there is no such thing of anyone being better than others - we are individuals and should remain as such.

Enough rambling from me although I do have one more thing to say.....( I hear a lot of sighing going on in the background lol )

Thing is I want to thank all of my wonderfully talented DT who have agreed to join me on this journey.  Without them this would not be happening and I love them all.  I just cannot wait for you all to see their really fabulous creations.  I am so proud of them all.

Now go see for yourselves.........
