We will be doing something different this round.

There is no theme

People will sign up. There is an absolute limit of 10 plus me, due to cost to me. (sorry) sign up will close March 7. You will also have to send me your address if I do not have it. (please assume I don’t have it) Please do not sign up if you don’t think you will be able to finish, usually these projects are just about one’s own time and $. This round involves my $, so I have a opinion!

After sign ups I will be sending those 1o people a package containing the exact same materials! I will mail them out March 9th.

Everyone will have 3 weeks to complete their project (more info below)
Everyone will then mail the completed project back to me with the $5.00. It should be post marked by March 31st.

I will then sort and mail the packages out within 3 days.

The project
I thought it would be cool to send everyone the exact same materials and see what everyone does with them. I think that when it is all done, a lot of us are gonna look at what others did, and damn why didn’t I think of that LOL.

Here are the peramiders of the project:

everyone starts with their base card. It is black. You must use it. It is a triptyck card. (google it!) You CAN alter this card, but it must be your base. I gave you extra cards in case of mistakes and a template if needed.

you must use the materials included. You DO NOT have to use all of them. The materials are varied and can lend themselves to multiple directions.

You DO NOT have to make all your cards the same. You can, if you want, make them all different. If you want to make them for specific people, put their name on it.

The only materials you can use that are not included:
adhesives, glue, tape etc

pens, pencils, markers, pastels, charcoals, paints, watercolors, stenciling, and stamping

A gentle reminder of our rules from our sponsor, Ami!

Now, improved, to include up to 10% new paper!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I have mine, too! I can't wait to get started, but probably won't be able to until this weekend. Also, I'm slightly relieved that I can use some of my own secret stash of papers!

I got the package!!! So totally stoked!

amiyesiam · 03-15-2010, 10:13 PM

Today, at work, my manager left me a button (the lid of a jelly jar)taped to my in box.

The top of the lid says "Suzie says ...."
the manager has more than a few names for me.
As Donna and I discussed this
I told her I am going to wear the button
and every time someone says something
I am going to say: "suzie says (fill in the blank)
I find it fortuitous this happened today!

Suzie says:

I was nice once
now behave
cause the whole point was that everyone have the same materials

so everyone has to behave
cause then we are all being nice!

So, I guess this means that stickers are out of the question, too?

As soon as your personal, hand engraved, solid platinum, studded with diamonds and emeralds 10 pound permission slip arrives, then, at that point, it would be a go.
