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!)

#4

(Remember 2 photos for each project!)

So there you have it!!! Crazy amazing, right? Good luck choosing Fan Favorite and Who gets their torch put out!!!

as well as "Immunity" info!

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!!!

Theme for Big Project #2 &&& Next Immunity Project Announced!!

Good mornin', Islanders!!

Do you know what time of year it is?? Well back on the mainland the kiddos are getting ready for....PROM!!

So it's no different here on the Island!! You can make anything you would like so long as it fits the following criteria!

 

Our colors for the Prom are Blue, Green and Pink! You must use these 3 colors...any additional colors are ok but the 3 main ones MUST be there!

 

And what's a prom without music?? So your project must incorperate something music related...Lyrics, Music notes, Insturments.. You get the idea!!

These projects are due to me no later then Friday April 19th, 2013 by 11:59 pm est! Good luck and I can't wait to see what you make!!!

 

Now on to this week's Immunity project...

Immunity (should you choose to play!) is due to me by THIS FRIDAY April 12, 2013 no later then 11:59 pm est!

For Immunity this week you will be making Flowers...It's spring...and I'm so ready for a beautiful garden!!! Yes you may put them on a card....or layout...or whatever you choose BUT the main focal point MUST be flowers. There must be at least 3!!! Oh you thought that was it....silly you! ;) They must pop off the page...No coloring flower images....No flat flowers!!!

Good luck ladies!!!!

 

Until then...

Big Challenge Theme #8

Good Morning everyone!!! It's that time again...Time to announce your next challenge...Now if you'll remember correctly tho we didn't have "Immunity" this week I said the winner would win a BIG advantage... Well here it is.. The winner from last weeks "What used to be Immunity" Challenge got to set the Big Challenge for you guys! Yup...so not only did this person get to come up with the challenge but they got a head start on you guys...and after seeing what this person came up with...well...Time alone was a blessing!!!

So here it is:

Dear Castaways,

Your numbers are dwindling but you are ever thankful that you have been able to survive the harsh conditions on the island so far. You have decided to host a dinner to celebrate your gratitude, and remember that the American holiday of Thanksgiving approaches. Your PCI challenge this week is to create Thanksgiving holiday table decor of some sort for your festive dinner table. It does NOT have to be a centerpiece ... it can be anything you could find on a Thanksgiving holiday table.

It MUST include (or you face disqualification) the following items:

• the word: thank or some derivative of the word (thanksgiving, thanks, thankful, thanking, etc.);
• the color: orange (or any shade of orange, lighter to peach, or darker to rust), along with any other colors (no limit) of your choosing;
• the supply: actual twine, string, jute or hemp - (not painted/drawn or depicted on paper)
• the shape: at least one leaf in any medium (real, paper, painted, etc.)

A photograph of your project must be submitted to our host by Friday, October 26 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern, or your torch will be automatically snuffed. 
Good Luck!

Well there you have it!!! Get to working on those Thanksgiving Table projects!!!!
Don't forget this weeks Big Challenge ( Spooky Halloween or Color Challenge) is due to me by 11:59 pm EST tonight or you will have your torch put out!!!!
I'll post the projects Saturday and the vote will be on!!!!

Until then....

**CHANGE TO BIG CHALLENGE PROJECT**

Hey everyone! I just wanted to pop in and let you know if for any reason you do not want to make the spooky project you can do this challenge instead. Color challenge... Black, Orange, and Green... I forget that not everyone is a fan of Halloween and I don't want anyone to do any project that is something they feel strongly against! This is to be fun! So now you have another option for this challenge! Good Luck..and if you are looking for the Immunity Challenge then scroll down one post! :)

Big Challenge Theme #7

Good afternoon everyone! I'm sorry this is late but I was so shook up after my walk around the Island last night I didn't think I could post! Let me tell you...it's scary out here at night! I was on my walk and off to my left I swear I saw glowing red eyes staring at me...I quickened my pace a little bit when out of nowhere I heard what can only be described as cackling! I was almost back to my hut when I was attacked by a group of bats...I could swear they were after my blood!!!!

So have you figured it out yet? Our next big project due no later then 11:59 pm on Friday October 19, 2012 is Halloween themed! I wanna see some spooky projects! Nothing cute!!! Don't get me wrong..I love cute halloween but for me creating something spooky is a bit harder. Oh and you have to use dimension on this one! No flat projects! And just one more thing... You must incorporate the intials PCI somewhere on it :) Have fun!!!! And watch out... you never know what could be around the next palm tree! :)

Don't forget your "Football Team Color Challenge" is due to me tonight by 11:59! I'm anxious to see them..all 5 of them! I'll post them tomorrow for the vote! If there is a tie our immunity winner will be the tie breaker!!!

Until then...

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!!!
