#GelyPostcardPlay

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for this fun open collaboration, Ceri! I still have 26-31 to do...and it's okay. Unexpected things happened in my life and I'm not stressing about the timeline (I keep telling myself). I say this for those out there that feel behind: it's okay. Love&hugs ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

It’s not a race, it’s not a competition, it’s just a fun activity.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@@CeriGriffiths yes ♥️

[@4GraceCreations]

@@DarcysMixedMediahope everything is ok!

[@4GraceCreations]

I will have to do it again next july! So much fun! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@4GraceCreations everything is good, it's just hard to find a quiet space to record at someone else's house is all.

[@GimmeADream]

I have learned so much from you about gelprinting and I have made some prints I will be using in the future but I have also made some terrifically horrible messes, lol. I have learned so much about using tissue and I'm really excited about that. I hope to have time in November to do the challenge. Thank you for giving me the opportunity at a later date.

[@relaxcutglue]

Oh Ceri! I just adore you! This challenge was so fun! It was challenging, exciting, and a neat way to meet new artists! I’m so honored to have been a part of this challenge Ceri, thank you so much for including me. I want to also thank you for all your kind words you said about me. I may have cried a little, you said such nice things. I appreciate you!❤❤❤ You need to pat yourself on the back my friend, you knocked this challenge out of the park!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Nicole I just had the idea we all made it magic. ❤️

[@devonrex4]

Thanks for including me in this fun challenge Ceri! I have to admit that I was relieved to hear that you were exhausted too 😅 Enjoy the rest of your summer 🫶

[@CeriGriffiths]

It was so good to have you onboard. Thank you.

[@leighcreates]

Thank you for an enjoyable challenge Ceri and a super big THANK YOU! for mentioning my artwork and channel, very flattered to hear your comment. Cheers from Australia.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Leigh it was wonderful to watch you create.

[@craftingwithkeely]

Thank you Ceri for this wonderful challenge! I’ve actually become a KZbinr at last from taking part. You may have seen my cut and collage books on Nicole’s channel, Relax Cut Glue, and I was just madly excited to get started with the challenge (albeit very late) and this was the little push I needed to actually make it happen. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH CERI! You are a legend.❤❤❤ I’m still only on day 7, 😂but hey, I’m loving every second.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Move at your pace but have fun along the way. Thank you.

[@sagreen5182]

I have really enjoyed watching all the postcards made on this channel and others, and I think it's awesome how you recognize and honour all the channels who support you. Art is so important to our mental health.

[@CeriGriffiths]

It is thank you.

[@shabbyroadstudio]

Such an amazing challenge! So glad I could take part. I definitely grew my subscribers during this month! Which I’m so grateful for. Thanks again.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful

[@waukonstandard]

That you Ceri for your creativity, inspiration, and sacrifice! I loved listening to you as you worked your way through creating. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@debrahenkener868]

Thank you, Ceri, for such a fun and inspiring challenge! I enjoyed doing all the cards and actually learned lots of new and useful techniques along the journey! Loved participating with all these great artists!

[@inkiwell]

The #GelyPostcardPlay was fun, Ceri! TFS and making it a fun challenge!

[@artcuriousbymnw]

This is a very heartfelt video Ceri❤ perfect ending of a perfect month. This will be in our minds for a long time. So many creators and thank you for your words.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much Myriam ❤️

[@blt1306]

A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU!! I certainly enjoyed watching you create the postcards because I saw you doing techniques and components that I had not seen you do before. You are wonderful!❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you, Ceri! Your work is greatly appreciated!😊

[@angybullock1361]

Thanks Ceri for amazing inspiration, as always! I haven't been able to take part, apart from being a watcher rather than a doer, but I have enjoyed that so much - and have learned lots to use on my own crafting journey and projects. You always give us so many wonderful ideas to think about.

[@keenDesign64]

Thank you for being you xxx It's been a remarkable adventure and memory to keep forever and be SO proud of. Love You Dear Friend xxx

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Paulla ❤️

[@veronicahenderson5940]

Thank you Ceri for this PC challenge. Soo much fun to expose some of my ideas, and your art work was so inspiring. Thank you. Maybe something else in the future.to relieve the daily stresses.🤩😍

[@InHappinessandDistress]

Well done Ceri! I see you, I see the work and effort . It was amazing! Thank you so much! I hope you give yourself a bit of rest.

Thank you so much

[@-Lucy-H]

Brilliant challenge Ceri ❤

[@tammydayfl]

This has been an awesome challenge and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for all your hard work and to all the channels who joined in on it. 😊

[@oldgit9948]

A brilliant project not least for bringing the artistic community together. I'd love to see a physical exhibition of all theses cards from all over the world in one gallery but guess that's just a lovely pipe dream - once again many thanks Ceri

[@CeriGriffiths]

That would be cool

[@lynneromaro9821]

Congrats Ceri. I didn’t participate but enjoyed looking at all the posts I could. I think this challenge was a huge success.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much

[@retroqueenbeeart]

Thank you for taking a plunge and hosting a challenge. My brain was full of inspiration everyday to create intuitively. This is how I like to create art and bee busy in art. I meet more artist too. I am very new on Utube. I think I have 133. subscribers. yes my learning curve with computers and programs is a challenge. I took your challenge and did live videos for the first time. I grew and thank you all who hang in there with me.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Great job, congratulations .

[@joycemaureroriginal8563]

And the talent we saw every day! You people are amazing.

[@SuzyQ]

I absolutely loved this challenge and enjoyed creating the postcards. Didn't video but shared on insta and FB. Thank you so much for hosting the challenge and sharing some of my postcards.

[@kimshepherd6911]

Ceri- I want to thank you for taking on the immense task of creating this challenge and making all of the videos. We see the finished product, but I know you spent numerous hours editing and planning behind the scenes. I really enjoyed all of the videos you created, as well as all of the videos and photos that all of the other artists shared. I feel like this challenge brought the creative community together with all of the love and support that has been shared under the #gelypostcardplay . Well done.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I agree I think it did bring people together. Thank you.

[@JeanandKenny]

Thank you for a great month Ceri. I'm still practicing with my gel pad so I'll do it later in the year, I have SO much to learn. Every day I'll run across a video that used your hashtag so it really morphed into something quite large. It was fun seeing the different types/styles that other folks made. Bravo on a job well done!

[@Jaelri]

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 🛌 Go you, Ceri!

[@cherihendrix3076]

I think this challenge was fantastic! I’m new to mixed media and I learned so much making these cards. Thank you, thank you for making it possible for this newbie to participate!

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome

[@PatWalden]

I've watched everyone of your videos in this challenge, and I will check out the channels you've highlighted below. Thank you for all the wonderful content. Now take a rest! ❤❤❤

[@robinsutton4952]

I so admire how you brought this challenge together. Thank you. And all the work that went into #GelyPostcardPlay .

[@patriciadevine8039]

I have just discovered you in the last month or two! What a delight. I’ve learned so much.❤️

[@Shannon_Bryan]

This challenge has been wonderful! Thank you for all of your effort! 💜💚💙

[@denisewisdom1558]

I didn’t get to participate in your challenge, but I have enjoyed watching everyone of your videos; plus others. This has inspired me as well. Thank you. Loved every postcard.

[@KristenHigh]

You are amazing.. and so appreciated this month watching you create.. GREAT JOB

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much

[@julieatkinson3885]

Thank you Ceri! I have loved watching the videos every day. Have a well deserved break 😅

[@judyharmon4586]

Thank gou, Ceri, for this challenge!! Even though I don't participate, I GREATLY appreciated and enjoyed watching the creativity!! You're "shout out" to several of the people creating was fabulous and, I 'm sure, quite encouraging to MANY people, both artists and people like me 😉. Kudos, Ceri!!! ❤️🤗🙏

[@Gizellescrafts]

Ceri and all the other crafters, thank you so much for sharing your time and talents with us all everyday this month. I found it hard to be able to watch each video each day (did some catch ups on the weekend) so no wonder your brain is muddled as this was a lot and for that I am grateful to you all. As long as the hash tag exists I will be able to look at these and hope to do the challenge myself one day/month in my own way xxx No pressure for any more challenges, I will enjoy your normal Chats and crafts.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@donitamoore9748]

This has been one of the most fun challenges I have watched. Thank you for hosting it! ❤

[@gwendeleon5774]

Hi Ceri, thank you so much for creating this challenge. I enjoyed it immensely. I created a postcard everyday, but I am reluctant to share my creations due to feeling that I am not talented enough. I create for myself & my own mental health. I learn so much from you during each video. You are so amazing and have such a generous heart. Once again, thanks for sharing your talent.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Gwen there’s no rule that you have to share your results it’s great that you challenged yourself to do them.

[@cathygrant6838]

❤❤❤❤absolutely loved all the inspiration and techniques shared by everyone through this challenge. Thank you for making it happen. Maybe someday we could see a flip through of your postcard books? Hope your mind relaxes a little, but it sounds like you still have a lot going on.😅 hugs and smiles from WA

[@Brad-ArtCollective]

Great challenge! I’m new so learned a lot from watching you and other creative people. Great way to connect the community and inspire us. Thank you! One day I’ll be ready to join in these challenges.

[@joycegifford8826]

It was an absolute blast doing this challenge. I gained some new Subscribers along the way. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤❤❤❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Awesome! Thank you

[@lindamoore9729]

I like that... if it was easy, it wouldn't be a challenge. Loved all 31 days.

[@caroltanzi29]

Ceri: there has never been a doubt in my mind that this business of creative art , KZbin, Etsy shop, and all that goes with it is a big business. Just thinking about it makes me exhausted. Since I have run an interior design business for years now, I know what it takes. I applaud all of you for doing it. I enjoy watching many of you and your creative work. And I can hardly keep up with that. So kudos to you and all the participants. A fabulous and fun challenge! Carol from California

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Carol

[@susananderson8428]

Thumbs up - very nice of you to send kudos to your creative cohorts! Y'all are a sweet and talented gang of artists, crafters and craftsmen!

[@christinecrow1410]

Take a rest, Ceri. You deserve it. Thank you for everything. I appreciate you.

[@ItsGluetimeyall]

Ceri, I did it! I was able to do one each day and I didn’t have anything prepared ahead of time. They were not the best, prettiest, most intricate, but I did it!! Thank you for this challenge I did have fun!! 😘

[@CeriGriffiths]

Congratulations, I hope this helped your creativity.

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Ceri, what you do greatly appreciated, enjoy the rest of the day.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! You too

[@donnalynpompper4308]

I loved watching every morning while eating my breakfast! Cannot imagine how much work! Thank you, Ceri, and supporters. Please consider another challenge at some point. Share the fun of making it happen. February is a shorter month. Valentine’s Day!!??

So much fun! Thanks again Ceri I didn’t quite make 31, but I intend to finish over the next month. 🎉❤ I hope you do it again too!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful Sandy

[@gryphonshale]

Congratulations on a hugely successful art challenge Ceri! Thank you so much for including me in your group of supporting channels. I enjoyed this adventure so much, and I've loved viewing so many other artists work. It's been a wonderful experience! My channel name is just "Gryphonshale". A bit weird, I know, but hopefully memorable too. lol 💖Arty Hugs! Rhonda

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yup I did remember the name by the end of the video.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you for being part of the challenge Rhonda.

[@gryphonshale]

@@CeriGriffiths I know you did! I’m just giving ya a bit of a hard time. You’re an awesome arty friend and I wouldn’t have you be any other way. 😊

[@brendagreer6511]

I want to thank you for the challenge really enjoyed this I didn't get to do all 31 of them but what I did do I had fun with want to just thank you very much

[@renejmercer7618]

Thank you Thank you Thank you, OK you convinced me I bought a 5*7 Geli Plate and just got done playing OMG it's so much fun. Can't wait to learn more about this. I think your Awesome and I so enjoy your videos, so again I say Thank You

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@carolehaouzi4843]

love you back

[@jocelynharvey5558]

Thank you for this challenge, it has been so fun. And it helped push my brain to think of new ideas, and to watch other artists. My venue was not wonderful, but I stuck with it all month. That is really something for me. I don't do big projects. Thanks again.

[@SpydersCorner]

It was a brilliant challenge! Well done on all your hard work! Will be looking forward to whenever the next challenge is!!❤ ((Lyn))

[@salbacon5394]

Well done Ceri, I really enjoyed following your challenge and picked up lots of ideas. Thanks for all the links to other artists for me to follow up - when you lost track I was waiting for you to say 'help me Rhonda' 😂. Hope you get lots of relax time now that we're into August.. and looking forward to your next video xx

[@CeriGriffiths]

Lol

[@jayneterry8701]

I followed Leighcreates and checked out some of hers . Yours too but i didnt know Darcy and Nicole did it too so will make a point to check out some of theirs too.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful.

[@jenniferscott7203]

Thanks!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Jennifer that’s so kind of you’ll I’ll add that to the fund for future video content and supplies.

[@ItsaJournalingThang]

Hi Ceri, it’d be cool to put out there if people wanted to to share what they’re planning todo with their completed postcards. I plan to put mine together in a book with the name to the challenge and date to keep as a keepsake. We could use the same hashtag. Just an idea. However I enjoyed the challenge, sending you a biggest thank you for hosting ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

I was going to suggest something similar later this month but using the same hash tag is a good idea.

[@ItsaJournalingThang]

@@CeriGriffiths awesome! I just uploaded my video of tab binding them into a book. And I love it. Thank you again for putting the challenge together 💙

[@christompkins7184]

Thank you so much for creating this challenge. While it’s been a lot of work for you, it’s been a tremendous inspiration and fun challenge to watch. I love your work. I do still have some videos to watch and some new channels to subscribe too. Again thank you. NB. Have you ordered paint yet? Lol. Much love from another Aussie. ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Lol no but I’m off to the art store this week.

[@susanasilva2737]

It was a wonderful challenge. And who knows? It might give a lot of people the opportunity to make art (newbies). Maybe another year the background can be made with watercolors, crayons, pens, etc. And it can be done by different artists that have a KZbin Channel. You could make day 1, Patricia make day 2, Darcy day 3 and so on. I enjoyed making this and at the end it's all that matters: to have fun with what we do.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Great ideas Susan, thank you.

[@novallasuter5265]

❤❤❤

[@lseh]

Lots of challenge organizers do a creator collab style. One creator per day does one project and everyone follows a calender of who to view each day. Just an idea.

[@CeriGriffiths]

That's a great idea

[@janspenno2241]

Great challenge. Really enjoyed it. Do you have any ideas how I can display the 31 cards. Perhaps a book?

[@CeriGriffiths]

You could put them in an album, a dedicated box or even create a journal with 31 pockets.

[@janspenno2241]

@@CeriGriffiths oh that’s interesting thanks Ceri. Where have I been? I know nothing about journaling. I will investigate

[@conniec4629]

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

Thank you sooooo much Ceri. I reallllly enjoyed this challenge and getting videos up every day. I just did my flip through of my post cards kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn6lkHekesmce68 I always gave you thumbs up even if I didn't comment as I know you said it takes you a while to go through them all. I ended up doing 53 videos and 11 shorts in the month of July as I was in a few challenges. You are right, the editing takes time. July was a crazy busy month for me so I will pop pics of my postcards into my Instagram by end of next week. Thank you again for this wonderful challenge ☺♥

[@CeriGriffiths]

Joan that a heck of an achievement congratulations.

[@lpatrick99]

Thanks for all your hard work to put this 31 day challenge together. I so looked forward your video and many of the other yt creators who supported this challenge. I still have a few postcards to complete as work got in the way. Again thank you and the nine who helped make this such a success! 🫂
