PaperStreet’s 2nd Annual

Shades of Pink

Digital ACEO Collage Challenge

Divisions by Charlotte Self (2008)

We’re now accepting entries for the 2nd Annual “Shades of Pink” Digital ACEO Collage Challenge. October’s just around the corner & last year Yahoo! donated money for breast cancer research based on the amount of pink images submitted to various flickr groups. If they’re doing so again, we’ll be submitting all contest entries to these groups… and if not, we’ll show them off here. Either way, we’ve got prizes for the winners, so read the guidelines, grab some free collage sheets & get creating!

“Pink” is once again the theme. ACEO collages are traditionally 2.5″ x3.5″ (trading card sized), though we will be accepting any pink collage submissions. It’s for a good cause after all

We are offering 6 free digital collage sheets to help spark your creativity.

Feel free to message us with any questions or comments.

We are not requiring that you use these images, as we did last year. Instead, you’re welcome to incorporate whatever elements you have access to & create any pink themed collage you’d like. We do want to keep the contest family friendly – nudity is acceptable, but nothing pornographic please. Images deemed distasteful will be removed at our discretion.

We also ask that you join and cross post your pink images to the flickr groups when they open in October (we’ll let you know). Your pictures can help raise money for breast cancer research!

Free Digital Collage Sheets for Tutorials

Posted by: Charlotte Self

Paperstreetsupplies.com is pleased to be participating in a Free Supplies for Tutorials Exchange, hosted by Totally Tutorials a directory of free tips, tricks, craft tutorials, how-tos, patterns, recipes, and more.

PaperStreet is giving away three free digital collage sheets in exchange for authoring a tutorial using images from our collage sheet collection. Just choose any three collage sheets from our inventory either here or at Paperstreet on Etsy and share your skills and technical knowledge while you stretch your writing and product photography muscles. Share your techniques and tips for any mixed media or altered art crafting project, if you can use our images to make it, it qualifies.

Choose any three from our Collage Sheet Collection

Other materials may also be used with our images for collage, decoupage, assemblage, charms, pendants, photo manipulations, altered books, scrapbooking, journaling arts or any thing you want to make. You’ll need to be able to write a good comprehensive “how to” and take awesome photos of your process as you work.

If you’ve never done a tutorial before, Etsy seller ArtMind, aka the Queen of Tutorials, has posted an easy to follow “how to” on her blog. Her blog post covers the complete process from start to finish with some great tips for lighting, photography, and even promoting your blog.

After you’ve received your collage sheets you’ll have one and a half week to make the tutorial, when it is finished you’ll need to post the free tutorial on your blog with a link to our Etsy Shop and/ or our Website, detailing what supplies were used from our shop. If you don’t have a blog, you may post your tutorial to Craftser, Instructables, or CutoutandKeep. It must be posted on a non-commercial site and must be free. After you post your tutorial, let Dotty at Totally Tutorials know and let us know that it’s up so we can link back to it or blog about it also.

There are further details for the contest posted at the Totally Tutorials Blog
Exchange Program – Free Supplies for Tutorials blog post.

We will be accepting applications from all mixed media and altered art, artists and crafters. To apply, simply contact us either here in the Comments Section below, through an Etsy Conversation, or via email & let us know what sort of project you’d like to write a tutorial about & which digital collage sheets you’ll need, be sure to include the names and numbers of the sheets you’d like to use. Feel free to include any questions you may have at this time also.

Applications will be reviewed by September 7th, 2009 and up to five entrants will be chosen. The finalists will be sent their digital collage sheets & will have 14-days in which to write their tutorials. Upon review of the submitted tutorials, an overall finalist will be selected for the craftiest how-to and the winner will receive an additional three free digital collage sheets.

Thank you from PaperStreet!
