Hi Mini Challenge lovers! Welcome to this month's Mini Challenge in its new
    earlier spot! We want to give more love to the Mini Challenge as it was
    feeling a little sidelined by the Main Challenge. So from now on the Mini
    will run for three weeks which will give you even more time to enter!
  
  
  Here are the challenge details!
  
      Word inspiration: Add the word JOY on your mini projects. We need to see the actual word JOY
      on your postcards, cards, tags and ATCs. 
    
   HOW TO ENTER:  You can enter our Mini Challenge in our private  Art Cafe Facebook Group where you can now enter your project in the relevant album. Please
    make sure to add your project to the album so that we don't miss it when it
    comes to picking our winners!  
  Or starting from this month, you can enter on Instagram by tagging
    us and using the hashtags: #mtwminijoy and #mtwminichallenge.  
  Also please remember to add your country to your
    entry!  
  
  
  
 
  
  
    
      
        
        
        
          As mentioned at the beginning of the month, we are excited to announce
          our new magazine - Artful Pages - which is a new way of looking
          at our challenges and inspiration, as well as being able to add more
          value for our readers which we are not able to do in our current
          formats.  So here's a look at our very first issue which is
          available to flick through online just like a real magazine.  The
          magazine contains more about our challenges this month, more info
          about our new Design Team - plus DT inspiration, Guest Designer
          interviews, and more!  Check it out and see for yourself - we
          would love your feedback!

        Elle says:  I've been thinking a lot about joy
          lately.  Joy can be found in ordinary things but sometimes we
          forget this.  My tag is watercoloured uisng QOR watercolours
          which are super bright and happy colours.

            Matilde says:  "Joy is not in things, it's in us" - the best definition of joy
                in my opinion.

              Rachel says:  The word JOY for me represents a state of calm, zen and
                  abundance. So I played around with these A.B. Studio cutouts
                  to make this cute tag.

            Rox says:  Joy for me is in the creating and spending time in creative
                play. I painted a watercolour background used some of Lisa Oxley
                fabulous paper as well as ArtStacks tissue paper hand and some
                vintage sheet music which I typed a quote on.

      Sharon says:  When I think of JOY, I think of art. For me that can be enjoying
        someone else's art or creating it myself. I used Deb Weiers' Wonky Faces
        and Wonky Backgrounds packs from ArtStacks to make my tag. I LOVE her
        quote!

            Sunila says:  Galaxies always bring me joy, being lost in time and space has a
              way of bringing out the inner joy! For the mini challenge I
              decided to create a set of 2 ATC coins inspired by the
              galaxies.
