As you may probably know by now from all my posts on social media and my email (if you are signed up that is / a box subscriber) that the Brimbles Box has now been discontinued. June was the very last box to go out. This is not a sad thing by any means, some people think it is but for me it is not. Believe me whilst I enjoyed doing the boxes they were a crazy amount of work and it feels quite nice to be free of them. If you missed that email you can read it here. The past boxes (what is left of them) will remain up for sale in my shop here until they are sold out but once they are gone they are gone for good.
The Brimbles Sticker Club is still going! Some people are a bit confused by that but the sticker club will still be going out every month. You can grab your July Club here.
There will be design work and admin work surrounding the sticker club but believe me, no where near as much as with the boxes so that leaves me with a bit of time on my hands, that and Jon's working hours at his job has changed giving me more time. What will I do with that time? Well you know me, I don't like to be idle, especially with Miss B starting pre-school soon.
Soooooo I have decided to enter the realms of Patreon. That is a little bit scary but also really exciting. I am an artist and proud to be one and I would love to share more of what I do with you. If you would like to check out my page and what I am offering you can head on over to: https://www.patreon.com/mrsbrimbles
Have a little watch of my video, it's probably easier for me to explain it to you that way...
I do hope you will take a look at my page even to just say Hi! and reassure me that I am doing the right thing lol! I will still be creating on YouTube but I can't afford to spend all my time on it. Whilst I do get paid for my posts the pay isn't loads, I will be dead honest with you...some months I get nothing, some months I get £60 which is their minimum pay out threshold and some months I get £100. On average I get £50 which isn't a lot when you think I didn't get anything until year 3! All those hours I put into it. The money I earn literally feeds my family so I need to do a combination of things to make a living. YouTube, On line courses, Pareon and the Mrs Brimbles online shop.
In line with my Patreon and Online courses (more of those will be coming in the future) I would like to have a creative team and here is the call out...
Brimbles Art
& Journal Creative Team Call
Do you love getting creative in your
journals and notebooks? Are you social and like to interact with like-minded
creative people? Do you enjoy sharing photos of your journals? If the answer to
any of these questions is yes, then you just might be the right fit for the Mrs
Brimbles Art &
Journal design team.
Let me tell you what it is all about…
Every month I will be creating
content via my Patreon platform. This will be a mix of art journal and art
lessons as well as journal inspiration. This may be in my
journal as one spread, several spreads or it could be a stand alone piece of
art. There will also be digital copies of some of the
artwork created that month that will be available for you to print and use in
your journals and mixed media projects. This could be collage sheets, journal
cards, anything created by me! (strictly reserved for personal use - no
commercial reproduction).
I am looking for creative team
members who will be able to watch my content and who will then create
‘something’ using some of the methods etc that I have shown. Your creations can
be anything, it doesn’t have to be in a journal, it could be any mixed media
project. You will be required to download and print the digital artworks /
collage sheets and use those in your projects.
In addition to my Patreon I also have
online courses that I run via my website. There is not a regular schedule to
these, they are posted on an ad-hoc basis. As part of the Brimbles Creative
Team I would be looking for you to take my past courses (at your own pace) and
my future courses when they go live. Courses are self paced so you can do them
online at any time. For future courses, you will be given advanced access so
you are able to start the course before it goes live so that you can get a head
start on your creating.
With regards to the Patreon content,
I would be looking to receive photos of your creations on a regular basis with
a blog post once a month.
In addition to receiving access to my
Patreon and Courses as part of the creative team perks,
you will have a permanent discount code for 25% off any purchases you would
like to make at www.mrsbrimbles.co.uk/shop
The Brimbles Art & Journal Creative Team is open to creative journal keepers and mixed media artists everywhere.

as I can.
On application close, I will assess all of the applications together and then choose, which is most likely going to be very difficult!

Good Luck and I can’t wait to see your entries!!
