1st Torch Put Out & Immunity Challenge!

Ok everyone...In just a few minutes I will reveal the vote and our first contestant will have their torch put out. It's sad to see anyone leave the Island but it's the name of the game! So here goes nothing...The votes came in as follows...

 

 

So it was a tie! The Immunity Winner voted and choose...
So #2 I am sorry to see you go! You have been an amazing player and I loved your projects! Its amazing to see what someone can do with a challenge and have it be so different! There are many things I have wanted to learn from seeing what you have accomplished! So leave this Island with your head held high! You are talented!

All that said we had 20 votes for fan favorite and our winner had 7 of those votes! So great job goes to #1...

 
What a gorgeous project! :)
 
Now on to your next Immunity Challenge... This will be due by Friday Sept. 28 by 11:59 pm EST. if you choose to do it!
 
In light of Survivor starting I want you to come up with a crafty tribe name! Make a flag showcasing your clever name as well as embellish it! You can pick 3 colors for your project but only 3 colors! Shades are acceptable!!! If you'd like you can use a full 12x12 page to make your tribal flag or you can use anything else. It's up to you! :) Good luck everyone!!!
 
I'll be editing this post tonight to let you know who has been voted out!
 
Until then...

Oh my goodness, Islanders... I am over the moon excited right now! Want to know why... Well for the 1st time all 6 projects were turned in and we will have our very first tribal council! Only fitting since the real "Survivor" started this week! I know it probably sounds just awful that I'm so excited about this. I mean after all it means losing one of my players....but it's the name of the game!

So Immunity really was worth something this week! Here is our Immunity Winner's Project!
Choice A
 
And here are the projects that are up for elimination!!!
#1
 
 

#2
 
 

#3
 
 
 

#4
 
 

#5
 
**********IMPORTANT***********
 
Ok now here's how this will work. For my 6- All of you (except Immunity Winner) will need to email me (papercraftisland@gmail.com) and let me know which project # you would like to vote off. You have until Sunday Sept 23 at 11:59 pm est to do so! I will tally the votes and reveal whose torch will be put out on Monday! Should there be a tie the Immunity Winner will be the tie breaker! And remember...Someone has to go...It does NOT mean your project wasnt fabulous...because I think all of these are!!! It's just a game! :)
 
For everyone else: I still want to know which project is your favorite! Same as always there will be a poll on the top left until Sunday Sept 23 at 11:59 pm for you to vote as well. The winner will not be receiving a prize this week but I'm still curious as to what you guys think!!!
 
So here goes nothing...
GOOD LUCK MY 6!!!
 
Until Monday...

Immunity is up for grabs!!!!

Good Morning, Islanders! It's Immunity Project voting day!! Whoo hoo!!! This week I gave the 6 the challenge of making a masculine card for either a birthday or anniversary using black,white, and one other color (or shades of!) and it had to have a moving part!!

When I stepped out of my hut I saw something fishy! 2 packages floating in the water towards me....hmmmm....What can they be???? So I've decided to share them with you...and if you'll notice the polls on the top right page there are 2 different ones. One labeled "something fishy" and one for the Immunity Challenge! PLEASE MAKE SURE TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE ON BOTH POLLS!!!!

CHOICE A

 
 
CHOICE B
(Truck Wobbles)
Pretty cool, huh? So which one is your favorite??? Make sure you vote!!! :)
 
Now on to our regular Immunity Challenge! Who will you save this week???
#1
 
#2
(Heart Wobbles)
 
#3
 
 
#4
(gear spins when card opens!)
 
I just love how they are all given the same challenge and yet every one is soooo different and unique and beautiful! I think they all did a fabulous job!!!
 
Voting starts now and goes until Sunday Sept 16 at 11:59 pm EST! I will post the winner on Monday and say a little prayer that all 6 turn in their projects and we have a real vote!!! :)
 
So until then...

Immunity Addition...

Hello Islanders! I wanted to pop in real quick to let the 6 know I have something to add that I should have in the regular Immunity Post. Don't freak out if your project is already done! I'm NOT changing anything about the project! I just wanted to let you all know if you would like to submit a video this week it is perfectly acceptable. It will help to showcase the movement of your project! HOWEVER it is NOT mandatory to do so! Just thought I would throw that out there for anyone that may want to! If you do you MUST NOT SPEAK in the video. You must have a plain background so no one can guess from that who you are! 10 secs or so would be great. Nothing extensive... Just a little quick shot of whats moving!
So yet again...if you WANT to...do it! If you don't a photo is perfectly fine! :)

If any of you have any questions feel free to email me!!!

Don't forget that your projects are due Friday Sept 14 by 11:59 pm EST! :)

Until then...

A Favorite & Immunity Challenge Theme

Good Morning Everyone!!! What another great weekend here on the Island. We had 6 amazing projects that all together got 38 votes!! WHOO HOO...And our winner had 15 of those votes!!! The winner is....

#5!!!
Congrats #5!!! I will be contacting you about your prize!!!
 
So it's a VERY Important week here on the Island. I can see something a ways off....Can you see it too?
 
IMPORTANT!!!! MUST READ!!!!
Looks like love is in the air!!! That's right ladies...This Wednesday is my husband's birthday AND our wedding anniversary!!! So I figured a great challenge (should you choose to do it!) is to make either a birthday or anniversary card for a man! Oh but if only it were going to be that simple, right? Your card must be black, white, and one other color of your choosing! Oh and did I mention that it also must have something on it that moves? Hehehe..Couldn't make it too easy for you! ;)
 
Good luck! If you choose to do this project it will need to be turned in by this Friday (September 14th) no later then 11:59 PM EST! All of the elements I've asked for must be included or I will NOT post your project!
 
So until then...
hugs from the Island ♥

Big Challenge Theme #5- Season 1

Oh my golly goodness! How did it get so late? I always post these in the morning and maybe this cold still has my head clouded! I completely forgot! So please forgive me...

Here is your next BIG Challenge! This will be due by 11:59 pm EST on Friday September 21!

This is a combo challenge....Color and Theme. Make whatever you would like but you can only use Red, Orange, and Brown! Varying shades of these colors are ok but I don't want to see any pink! Also your project MUST have something to do with sewing! Stitching (faux or real), needles, threads, sewing machine...you name it...As long as it somehow links back to sewing you are good! :) This is in honor of National Sewing Month! :)

I can't wait to see your projects! I will be posting the projects from Big Challenge #4 in the morning and maybe...just maybe... there will be a real vote! Fingers crossed! :)

Until then...
