Introducing the Masters(crap) Challenge 2012-13

We all have 'em ... we can't throw 'em away ... we can't find the one we want when we need it ... I'm talking about SCRAPS. You know, those things you've cut extra, made up and then changed your mind, extras that didn't make it onto your card or layout. To some, these are CRAP ... to others, SCRAP ... and to you, TREASURES!

Well, I've come up with something to do with them -- trade 'em, USE 'em, SHOW OFF your creations, and compete to win the title of MASTERS(CRAP) CHAMPION for 2013. 

Here's how it works:

I've cleaned out my Paper Jungle and started a giant bag of scraps (shown here). It fits into a Medium Size FLAT RATE USPS Postal Box, which ships for $11.35 to anywhere in the U.S.  

I am LOOKING FOR 15 other crafters who want to play. 


The rules:

1.  Accept the box of s(crap) from the crafter before you on the list.

2.  Remove some item(s) from the box that you MUST use in some fashion to make a card, layout or project, and link up that project by January 15. 

3.  You may add some s(crap) of your own to the box.

4.  Ship it to the next person on your list AT YOUR EXPENSE within 3 days of receiving it, via USPS Medium Flat Rate. DO NOT overstuff the box or use a different size box, or the rate/cost will change. Remember: the "entry fee" for this challenge is only the cost of shipping ($11.35) which must stay the same for each of us.

5. Rules are subject to change, as necessary. Please make this FUN!


Project judging will start on January 15, with preliminaries and face-offs. The Championship will be awarded on Sunday, February 3 (SuperBowl Sunday!).  The prize WILL include a trophy and other sponsored prizes! 

FIRST 15 entrants get to play. A waiting list will apply in case we have drop-outs.  Questions? E-mail me at cardmonkey@comcast.net.  

We do have a Facebook Group started: Request membership to the Masters(crap) Challenge 2012-13 Group.
