Ok, I sort of alluded to it last week, but it’s official now. I started a flickr group called ‘I Still Love Handmade’. Fitting, no? I’ve been thinking a lot about starting one; but mostly since the community building session at Alt. I think it might be a little fun for you to do some showing and telling. It may end up being a time suck for just me, because I just love to see what you’ve been up to.

In celebration of the new flickr group, I’m hosting a little competition this month!
Whoever wins the best flickr group photo for the month of February will get all sorts of cool prizes. I haven’t picked out the prizes, but rest assured there will be a hand-bound book, some calligraphy and other goodies in there. You’re going to like it. PROMISE. So please, join my little group and show off what you’ve made! It can be anything! A drawing, a refashioned shirt, the awesome dinner you made last night, you get the idea! Please post a picture or 12, just as long as it’s made by you, photographed by you and very PG.
I really hope you’ll participate. I’ll keep you posted as I figure out what exactly will go to the winner.
This contest ends February 28 at 11:59pm MST. Winners will NOT be chosen randomly. 3 judges (me & two other guest judges) will vote on a winner. Judges’ entries are not considered part of the contest. Multiple entries are encouraged. You must have a flickr account and entries MUST be added to the flickr group pool to be entered. Am I forgetting anything? Sheesh. Comment or email if you have questions.
Good Luck!
Gah! How fun! I am all about this group and can’t wait to share. Thank you for the wonderful idea!
awesommmmmmme!
Great idea, Flickr’s brill and it’ll be a fab place to share all our handmade accolades! I’ll def be participating
This is so fun! Great idea.
Just joined your flickr group. What a great way to see everyone’s masterpieces!
This might be a dumb question: do the things I post need to be based on tutorials here? There’s a message on the group page that says “Have you made anything fun lately using printables, tutorials and/or inspiration from IS•LY? Please share!”
That’s not a dumb question at all, Gwen!
If you’ve made anything using my printables, tutorials, etc I’d LOVE to see it. However please, please feel free to post ANYTHING you’ve made! Anything at all.
I just want to tell everyone who’s participated so far, THANK YOU! It’s so fun to see what y’all have made. It just makes my day to see all of the entries. Thank you!!
xoxo

How clever of you! I’ve already seen some things I want! I just posted the best birthday present anyone’s ever made me…a cute little felt cupcake made by my sister!
I hope this groups serves as good inspiration for everybody. I know I’m starting to get some good ideas!
BTW, that cupcake is super cute!
What if I’m not good at making things? :(
Yay. I’m so glad you did this. Of course I’ve joined and started adding a couple of photos. I can’t wait to see all of the fabulous things that are put on there.
Flicker is really great when sharing photos over friends and families. I love the resize feature of Flickr.’,’
