Here's how the blog works.
Who can play in the gutter? YOU CAN!!! This challenge blog is open to ANYONE who would like to be part of it! Be sure to leave a comment with links to your projects if you play along!! That is how you will be entered to win prize!

  • We will be hosting a new challenge on the 15th of every month. Bonus posts happen on the 30th of every month!! This is also when we will announce our picks for Guest GutterGirlz!
  • Once a month, we will host a THREE PART challenge. You can chose to do all three in ONE project, or you can do each part on it's own OR you can do one or two!! What we're trying to say is, HOW you create is really up to you.
  • You will be entered to win our prize by leaving a comment with a link to your creations in the comments area of the challenge you created in response to.
  • To be eligible for the prize each month, comments with links need to be left by midnight on the 12th before the next prompt comes out on the 15th. (in other words, if you took part in the prompt given on January 15th, you need to leave a comment with your link by midnight the night of February 12th.)**
  • To be considered for a Guest Gutter Girl spot, please have your links in the comment section by the 27th of the month by midnight that night. (so your link for the prompt on Jan 15th should be in the comment section of that post by Jan 27th at midnight that night.) **
  • On the 30th of every month, we will host a special post. This post will vary... we may have an honorary guttergirl as our guest, we may highlight a technique, or we may throw in something ELSE for you!! Be sure to subscribe to the blog to get those surprise posts!
THE THREE PARTS:
1. The Prompt. This will be either a word or a theme for you to take however far you'd like into the gutter.
2. The Song. There will be a song that goes with our prompt theme. You can use it however you'd like. Lyrics, Title, or just the FEEL expressed in art form.
3. Technique or Product. An item or technique that we will ask you to use in your work.

This is NOT a competition. Please respect EVERYONE whose work you visit. Their work is NOT for you. They have simply chosen to share it with us. You can get as gutter or as clean as you'd like to. We only want you to PLAY with us, and be open to exposing things about yourselves you might not have thought to before.
** yes. we realize this is technically the MORNING of the 13th and 28th.
Thanks for playing!! As always,
