The Theme for Artsy-Craftsy-September is “Celebrations and Decorations”
Celebrations can mean a birthday party, a valentines party, a baby shower even a festival.
Decorations however have to be handmade. This includes cards that you made, mantaps that you decorated, Pinatas, ribbons , door hanging, jewellery and party favors.
This month we have Vinitha from Pooh’s den who’s sponsoring the gifts.
Her kuttima turns 1 in September and so she wanted to involve the Artsy-Craftsy family in her celebrations. Isn’t that a wonderful thought???
Also, Lil P turns 4 on 11th. So yeah!! its a double celebration of sorts.
Excited?? Then here are the rules of the challenge..
- Stick to the theme for the month.
- Previously submitted entries to the artsy-craftsy cannot be resubmitted
- Last date for sending your nomination is 20th of September, 2010.
- If you have a blog, add the above image in a post with a link to this page and add the artsy-craftsy pic in your sidebar [ HTML code below]. You don’t need to be a follower.
- If you don’t have a blog, mail me the pics at mymindfulmeanderings[at]gmail[dot]com. Add copyright info and steps on how you made the craft.
- Leave a comment with a link to your post on this page.
- Resize the pics that you send / upload to a max of 1024×768.
- Each pic should have a watermark to your blog or at least your (or ur child’s name) in case you don’t have a blog. Use paintbrush / Picasa to add text at the right bottom. A readable font size should be fine.
- Please provide pics and details on how you made the craft. Links to another site which has the instructions is also fine.
- I absolutely don’t like putting up pics of any child on my blog. Any entry henceforth that has a child’s face / pic will be sent back for blurring. You can however send it with the face blurred. Use gaussian blur / simply use paint brush to cover the face.
- The winner will be chosen based on how easy yet stunning the end result looks and will be announced on the last day of the month.
- The entry need not be child-friendly. Keep it simple though. Would love to see crafts that ur kids can help out with.
- You can have more than 1 entry .. and increase your chances at winning.
- This challenge is open for all kids, ladies, gents, moms, dads , followers, lurkers… everyone.
