This week’s quote is all about NEW BEGININGS and how exciting and life changing a new beginning can be. Embrace any new beginnings and let your life unfold. You are worth it.

As I eagerly write my first Colour Me Positive post I can’t help to wonder what I’ve gotten myself in for. I am so happy to be taking over the reigns from Lisa, both in the CMP challenge site, surrounded by such a wonderful creative community that I’ve hear so much about and I’m even more excited about taking over Lulu Art Store. Adding both the CMP challenge and the Art Store to my repertoire of creative endeavours seems to be just an extension of the many things I already do as a mixed media artist, who enjoys inspiring others to create.

‘You are a born maker. We need what YOU can bring to us because YOU are the only one that can bring it. ‘ – Brene Brown

For now I will introduce myself as Kylie, a mixed media artist from Australia. I will introduce myself properly in the next post. I’m busy behind the scenes here, ordering and unpacking stock and updating the store. I will also let you know when LuluArt Store is fully stocked and is ready to send out yummy art supplies to you. I look forward to connecting with you all.

I can’t wait to see what art journal pages you create based around new beginnings.

Week 49 Challenge Prize:

This weeks prize is a surprise collage pack for the lucky winner.

We will draw a random name on Friday 16th December from those who have uploaded into the Week 49 folder by that date. So you have two weeks to complete the challenge.

Entry is open to everyone who participates, no matter where in the world you are. It’s not a game of skill, you won’t be judged on your artwork. It will be a random draw.

Week 47 Prize Draw:

Now it’s time to draw a name from the photos loaded up into the Week 47 photo album. Today’s lucky winner is Vicki Phelps. Congratulations Vicki. This is the adorable page that Vicki created.

Please remember:

It’s ok to skip a week and jump in wherever you can. Don’t feel pressured if life gets busy!

Don’t compare yourself to others. We’re all in different stages of our art journey. You’re an artist and you’re amazing no matter what level you’re at. Just have fun and keep going.

Please PM or email me if you have an urgent question as I’m more likely to see it. The facebook page moves so fast it’s so easy to miss comments.

Have fun, be happy and support one another!
