Contest Details

You’ve seen of Craft Wars on TLC (which airs Tuesdays at 10 pm /9c) now it’s your turn to put your skills to the test! CreateMixedMedia.com will be hosting our own craft wars, with a few changes. Your goal: create a unique mixed media project using four common mixed-media items/materials or tools that we name (and you can add other materials, of course). You’ll have 24 hours to create your masterpiece and post it on our Facebook page with a brief description of the project and what materials you used.

The winner with the most creative project, determined by the number of ‘likes’ on Facebook, will win $100 in your choice of products from the North Light Shop and CreateMixedMedia.com. The winning project will also be featured prominently on a post at CreateMixedMedia.com. Caught your attention? Feeling Crafty? See below for more details and clues!

Each Thursday between now and July 19, we’ll be posting a clue about what material you’ll have to work with. Clues will be posted at the bottom of this page, so keep checking back! The clue will lead you to a post on CreateMixedMedia.com where the material is referenced. If you can figure out what material is being referenced, you’re a step ahead!

All four required materials will be named at 12 noon on Thursday, July 19th and you will have 24 hours from the announcement to create and post your project on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/CreateMixedMedia.

The winner, selected by how many ‘likes’ your project gets on Facebook, will be named on Tuesday, July 24th.

It shimmers and sparkles and makes everything shiny. You can get it in a glue, or in loose form, too. Lisa Pace is known for her love of this item, as shown in both posts below:
