In August, we&#39;re going to get out of our journals and onto canvas! Here are the details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In August, do 2 canvases per week. Any size (well, I&#39;d say 8&#215;10 at the smallest&#8230;biggest is up to you). Weeks run Aug 1-7, Aug 8-14, Aug 15-21, Aug 22-31 (you get extra days in that last week).<\/li>\n<li>Theme can be ANYTHING&#8230;and you don&#39;t have to be entirely finished. But at least a GOOD start, if you know what I mean. Make an effort.&#0160;<\/li>\n<li>Canvases can get pricey&#8230;if you like, you can work on canvas board. Or, even large sheets of paper or chipboard. The point is to work on something OUTSIDE of your journal structure! There&#39;s nothing like putting paint on a canvas, though&#8230;hint hint, push push.<\/li>\n<li>Post your canvases each week if you have a blog (or use flickr, or picasa)&#8230;and link back to our weekly posts.<\/li>\n<li>Each time you leave a comment on my blog w\/ a link to one of your canvases (one comment per canvas), I&#39;ll put your name in a drawing for a free spot in any one of my art journaling classes! I&#39;ll draw the winner on Sept 1st. Be sure to leave a comment on Samie Kira&#39;s blog, too&#8230;you could win a spot in one of her classes. Woot!<\/li>\n<li>Don&#39;t stress, don&#39;t worry&#8230;this is loosey-goosey. It&#39;s about the experience, it&#39;s about stretching, it&#39;s about doing something new. We&#39;ll be posting tips, observations, etc. as we go along.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Are you game?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e2014e8a38332c970d-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Canvases\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451cff869e2014e8a38332c970d\" src=\"https:\/\/dinastamps.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451cff869e2014e8a38332c970d-500wi\" title=\"Canvases\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>and onto canvas!
