Calling All Divas and Dukes!

Hi Divas and Dukes,

Happy New Year!!

Rayme and I have been asked to compile a craft book which will be published by Bluegrass Publishing!!! The working title is "Creating with the Divas... Artsy Projects to Inspire the Groovy and Creative Diva in You!"



Because we've seen some of those wonderful things you can create, we thought it would be fun to invite our listeners to submit their own project for publication.



We're looking for Different, Groovy and Fun projects in all creative mediums, with one exception … sorry, no Scrapbook Layouts in this book (maybe we’ll tackle that one later!)



Here’s the procedure:

1. The Deadline is Feb. 1st...I know it’s short notice, but you can do it!

2. Submit photos of the finished project, a brief explanation of the technique and materials used, and your contact information (name, email, and phone number) by email to DR@DivaCraftLounge.com .

3. Submit only your original ideas, not ideas from store display samples, magazines, kits, or other designer's works. We’re looking forward to seeing your entries -- the more “out-of-the-box” the better.


4. When you receive the “Diva Stamp of Approval”, then you will get the official guidelines and release form for your project (All entrants must release the rights to Bluegrass Publishing for publication of your project.)



5. The guideline form will include: (a) a list of the products used and their manufacturers; (b) a description of the theme or technique featured, and; (c) step-by-step instructions for your individual project (you should take pictures during the creative process for any step that is easier to explain with a photo - 300 dpi, please, at least 4x6 inches).

6. After approval, you also will attach an address label to your project somewhere that can be identified, but not seen in the final picture, and send it to the address given in the entry form so we can professionally photograph it.

What's in it for you? Recognition for having a published design in a book with some of the biggest names in the Crafting World! You will receive a copy of the book when it is published, and your name will be mentioned on the Diva Craft Lounge radio show and blog. Unfortunately, we're not able to offer any other compensation, but, who knows where this may lead!?!?!



Can’t wait to see the photos of your project!
