Rae Missigman started a phenomenon with her first 30-day Art Marks Challenge back in January. The idea is to make marks in a small journal daily, using the given prompts. I participated in both previous challenges and when she announced a third one this summer, I jumped on the bandwagon once again.
This time I made a tiny "junk" journal, literally made from small pieces of scraps, junk mail, tags etc. The largest page is 3.5" x 5" and the smallest is 2" x 3." The cover is a canvas-type 4" x 6" sample I received for printing photos. I simply folded the pages in half, stacked them and used a simple pamphlet stitch to bind them together. I added scraps of gelli-printed pages to many of the pages for a starting point.
I started a few days later than the actual project, but this is a do-your-own-thing anyway so the start date didn't matter. The challenge is to continue it for 30 days. If you are interested in playing along, click

Well GOOD for you. I keep saying I'm going to do something like this. Do I though? Nope. One of these days - in my spare time (HA!) I might surprise myself.
What you've done here is great - I'm proud of you for your stick-to-it-ness.
Fun stuff!
