Here at Anything But Cute we love to see all the seasoned and expert mixed media artists, but we also want to encourage those who are just getting their feet wet. Our design team will always be on the lookout for these exceptional artists, and you just never know when we might be giving out something special to a talented mixed media newcomer.
Make sure to put 'newbie' after your name in the linky so we know who you are.
(new refers to 'new to mixed media' NOT 'new to our challenge')

Happy New Year & Farewell

It is a sad post I write today, as it will be the last one here at Anything But Cute. It was a very difficult decision for me to make, but life has taken some turns and it's time for me to focus my attention elsewhere.

I am so grateful to each and every one of you for all of your support over the last year and a half. This blog has been one of my favourite crafting experiences and I am honoured to have met so many wonderful and talented artists through those linky thumbnails!!

A special thank you to the ladies who made this challenge amazing, my design team! I have made such wonderful friends and I will always cherish our time together here. Please take a minute to visit all these ladies and follow them on their personal blogs.


From the entire team here at Anything But Cute, we wish you all a very Happy New Year. May this upcoming year bring you joy and happiness with all that you do!!


Take care, and I will see out there in blogland!
Don't be strangers.
Hugs, Pamellia :)

  12. Oh, that is a sad news... But this is how life works as the poet once said:
    "Every beginning
    is only a sequel, after all,
    and the book of events
    is always open halfway through."
    Take care Pamellia!

  13. Wishing you all the best. Thanks for the opportunity to be here at the start. I know how life does take different turns but change is also a good thing. I don't know who made this quote originally but I heard it at a conference - "A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn."
    Hugs!

  18. For some strange reason Pamellia this post never made my blog reader. I just popped over today to see if you had a new challenge coming up and read this. I am so sorry to see it closing, I have loved every challenge and all the inspiration from you and your talented team. I'm so glad that you are still around in blog land. Take care, hugs xxx

  21. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
