The Island is on vaca!!!

Hey everyone!
I meant to post this yesterday and didn't get a chance!
I've let all the finalists know already but we are postponing the finals until next weekend!
All projects are due to me by Friday June 28 at midnight!

My daughter's softball team made it to the tournaments and have won 2 games and lost one. After a season of only 2 wins I was just as shocked as anyone! Next game is in just a few minutes so I'm off!!!!
Go Hicksville Pharmacy!!!! :)

Redemption had finished and FINAL CHALLENGE INFO!!!

Hello everyone!

Well Redemption Island has a winner and this crafter will be coming back to the mainland to join the other crafters in this season's FINAL challenge!!!

 

Here was the project that won redemption:

Beautiful Layout and perfect for today :)

 

So on to the last challenge...and boy is this gonna be a doozy ;)

Since it's the final before we crown our winner I will be issuing a few different projects to do! Because of this all projects will be DUE JUNE 21, 2013 by 11:59 pm. Any projects not turned in by then will not be able to be voted on! Make sure you turn in every project. 1 missing will get you torched immediately!!!

 

Ok on the projects...

#1- Same as last season.. I want to see a sign... Proclaiming you are the winner of Paper Craft Island Season #2. Make it out of whatever you'd like!

#2- A Layout... For Father's Day... and it must be all black, white, grey... Photos will be acceptable on this one! You do NOT have to have photos.. If you would rather just use photo mats to show where photos would go!

#3 - A Graduation Card. Could be a high school or a preschool...or anything else.. Doesn't matter.. BUT it must have ribbons on it somewhere!

#4- This you get to pick... Make ANYTHING to show WHY you are the best crafter here on the island!!!!

 

That's it.. (hehehe) You have basically over 3 weeks so these projects should be AWESOME!

Can't wait to see them!!!

I have a jury in place to vote for the winner this season!! They are a mix of people that have been on the Island with you as well as ones that have NOT been on the Island! :)

I figured this was the best way to prevent anyone from stacking the votes :)

 

Good luck to you all and I can't wait to see what you can do!!!! :)

 

Until then

Another crafter gets torched!

Good evening everyone! Sorry for the delay! It's been crazy hectic in my hut here lately! So lets get to it...

 

By a vote of 2-1 (immunity winner's vote does not count as there wasn't a tie!)

 

The crafter who will be leaving the main Island is...

#2

 

We are sad to see #2 go...

BUT...

She's going to redemption!

 

Her and the crafter who won the last battle will now battle it out head to head to see who can survive and come back to Island in our finals!

So for these 2 the challenge this week (due Saturday (May 25) night by 11:59 pm EASTERN)

is simply this...

With memorial day coming up I'd like to see a red, white, and blue layout honoring those who have given their all for this country!

There must be stars and an eagle OR flag somewhere on the layout!

Good luck ladies!!!

The remaining crafters have this week off!
BUT I will have them vote on who to bring back!!

Good luck ladies!!!

 

Until then...

Last Immunity Winner Revealed!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry this post is soooo late! With the Birthday boy having his game and party on Saturday and then Mother's Day on Sunday I'm a little behind!!

The crafters if they chose to play for immunity had to make something birthday-ish with the theme of video games using only the colors Red, Blue, Green, and Black! Now that said if they had a human cut out or piecing they could use skin color.

Also we had a redemption play off... Only one turned in a project so she will continue on to try to make it back to the main Island! Here's her project:

And yes,.. It's sideways... I have NO idea why but blogger hates me today! The photo I have is right side up but try as I might I can not get it flipped around right and I'm tired of fighting with it! :( I'm sorry redemption player!!

Here are the projects for those playing for Immunity....

#1 

 

#2

 

#3

 

#4

And I had the Birthday Boy check em all out and his pick for winner of Immunity is...

#1

 

So as long as #1 turns in a project this week they are safe!

 

Remember your BIG Challenge (Vintage Mother's Day) is due this Friday by 11:59 pm Eastern!

I will post them Saturday and hopefully we have all votes in this time around in a timely manner!

 

Good luck to you all and I am SOOOOO sorry I didn't get this posted sooner!!

 

Until next time....

Big Projects Revealed- UPDATED

*****I am still waiting on votes for who to torch! I will do a new post as soon as I know and have told our torch-ee!****

Good morning everyone!!!
It's FINALLY here... The day where we get to see projects from all the crafters here! I'm soooo excited...Not to see anyone voted off...But for the game to begin. And let me tell you what... The crafters have a very difficult choice to make! All projects are super fab!

For the projects this week they had to choose a project from last season and recreate it with their own spin on it. So each project will have 2 photos. The first photo is the original project and the 2nd is our crafter's spin project!

Of course you on the sidelines will get to vote by commenting. Remember the comments will show up right away! You are voting for fan favorite who will have A HUGE advantage coming up!

Crafters you have until sunday night (May 5) at 11:59 pm eastern to email me with the number of who you would like to send packing! Choose wisely!!! I will notify the person being torched before I post it!

The Immunity winner from last week CAN NOT be voted for torching... This project CAN be voted on for fan favorite tho. If you choose to vote this one fan favorite simply comment with "Immunity Winner"

Ok...

Now here are the rest that can be voted for both Fan Favorite and Torching!

 

 

#1

 (Remember 2 photos for each project!)



 

 

 

#2

(Remember 2 photos for each project!)

 

 

 

 

 

#3

(Remember 2 photos for each project!)

Choose Who Will Be Safe This Week ♥

Hello Islanders!!

Immunity is back up for grabs and wow did the 3 that choose to compete do an amazing job!

 

The had to make tags! Sounds easy right? WRONG! These tags had to sparkle and not only that they had 3 color combos to choose from!

They were

#1- Black, Yellow, Purple

#2 Gray, Blue, Orange

#3 Hot pink, Lime Green, and White

So without further ado... Here they are!!

#1

 

 

 #2

 

 

#3

 

So to vote just add a comment with your number choice! I've turned off comment moderation to see if this works better for commenters/contestants!

The winner will remain safe from elimination as long as they make and turn in their big project on time!

 

I'll post the winner Monday Morning!

Until then...

Hugs from the Island ♥

Fan Favorite Winner & Next Immunity Challenge

Good morning, Islanders!!

 

All the ladies did a fabulous job on their projects this week! But there is always a fan favorite and this time around the winner will receive 3 extra votes in the immunity challenge if they decide to participate!

 

So without further ado...

Our fan favorite is...

 

 

 #5

 

Congrats #5!!!

 

Now onto the next Immunity Challenge....

This will be due this Friday April 26 by 11:59 pm eastern time!

I would love to see what you do with a tag!

Jazz it up...Make it pretty!

I'd love to see some bling on it...pearls, rhinestones...you know...

oh...

I can't make it that easy...

What am I thinking...

Well you also must pick from these 3 color combos!

You can ONLY use these colors...Varying shades ok... But nothing extra!

#1- Black, Yellow, Purple

#2 Gray, Blue, Orange

#3 Hot pink, Lime Green, and white

 

hehehe...

this will be interesting!

Can't wait to see what you do!

 

ALSO...

It has come to my attention that I wasn't very clear with the rule on photos...

so to make it easy...

NO photos of humans...

There...

That ought to settle it! :)

Inanimate objects, animals, plants...fine

You, your kids, random strangers....Not ok!

If you submit a project with a human photo on it I will NOT accept it!

Don't set yourself up to be eliminated for something silly!

 

Ok...

That's it...

for now..

Until next time...

Big Challenge #2 and NEXT Big Challenge Revealed ♥

Good morning Islanders!!!

It's that time again... Time to reveal the Big Challenge Projects!

 

This time around our crafty crew had to create a "Prom" themed challenge and use the colors blue, green, and pink as well as somehow incorporate music into it!

 

The ladies did an amazing job!!!! Every one is so different and so pretty!

 

Normally we would be voting to eliminate someone from the competition...

sadly yet again this week we will NOT be...

Seems another crafter has been swept out to sea and has not been heard from!

 

BUT....

I think the winner of this round ought to get something for their hard work.... SO... We will have another fan favorite competition! To vote for which project you like the most please leave a comment with the # of your choice!

 

The Fan Favorite Winner will win an immunity advantage of 3 extra votes in the next immunity challenge! It could be a game changer (well....assuming my 5 lovely crafters hang around and don't wander off!!!)

 

So here are their projects! Remember to vote for your favorite!!!

 

#1

 

 

#2

 

#3

#4

 

#5

See....Absolutely lovely!!!!
So PLEASE go vote for your favorite to win the extra votes in the next immunity challenge!!!
OK...
And now....
The next BIG Challenge....

This one I think is going to be fun!!!!
I want you each to go back through this blog and pick a project that was made during Season #1 and recreate it!
BUT...
Put your own spin on it!
You may pick any project but PLEASE make sure you send me a photo of the original and of your recreated one!

Good luck! This project is due Friday May 3 by 11:59 pm est!
I really can't wait to see what you fabulous 5 will do!!!
