Thats right. It will be much easier for us all. I wont turn on the option for you guys to submit deviations since I would be worried non-members or less active loving members would abuse this. But I will have the suggest a favorite option on so you guys can submit your own deviations that way.<br />Heres to hoping this will make life easy!!<br /><b>---- end update ----</b><br /><br />That's right kids!<br />Major updates will be happening throughout the month.<br />Myself and a secret helper-bee will be updating the club.<br />Right now we are just doing a major update, I want to get all the notes cleaned out so we can start fresh in the new year.<br /><br /><b>PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY DEVIATIONS BETWEEN NOW (DEC 2nd) AND THE FIRST OF THE YEAR</b><br /><br />Once everything is caught up all rules will go back into effect. 2 submissions per week per member. The subscription ran out before I could check the poll results but I think the monthly news post was winning.

                <description><![CDATA[ Edit:<br />So as it stands, it seems most people are for the new submission policy.<br />The one that that seems to be making people feel iffy about it is how we would feature those we fav.<br />So another poll will be posted!<br />This time I want to take a vote on how you want to see the submissions pop up in your inbox. <br />If we screencap 4-6 submissions a week, or if we do a monthly news post with thumbs of everything we have fav-ed for that month.<br /><br />I do want it to be known, if we do the 4-6 a week it won't go in effect until we catch up, this way we are only submitting around that many a week so no one will feel left out.<br /><br />So get voting!<br /><br /><br />-End Edit-<br /><br /><br />Hello all.<br />Thank you for sticking with us!<br /><br />I want to get this place up and running again and I think our main problem is submissions.<br />We get so many wonderful submissions, but it is nearly impossible to submit each one. <br />Creating a submissions takes time, between having to save each image ourselves and copy over the information as well as a title and setting everything up correctly.<br />So I feel a new way of submitting would be more efficent, and would allow us to share more wonderful crafts with all of you!<br /><br />So I have stolen a submission idea from some clubs I myself watch.<br />It would utilize the favorite/collections. We would fav/collect each deviantion submitted.<br />Then once a week or once a month, we would screencap 4 or so of those submissions, and submit that, and it would include links to the deviations in the image.<br /><br />Not only will this save us a large amount of time, but it would also keep anyone from faving the club submission rather then the original deviation, That way the real artist would get all the love and support.<br /><br />To make viewing easy, we would break the collections up into their months, so if its August, simply go into august's collection, and browse through.<br /><br />If you want to see it live go to <a href="http://indiephotographyclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/n/indiephotographyclub.png" alt=":iconindiephotographyclub:" title="indiephotographyclub"/></a> and see how they do it.<br /><br /><br /><br />If you have any questions or ideas feel free to note/comment myself, or leave a comment here.<br /><br />I am putting up a poll so please be sure to vote, once its easy to determine if you guys don't mind using this new policy, I will be sure to update this journal.<br /><br /><br />Thanks girls and guys!<br />- <a href="http://bleedingsmile.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/l/bleedingsmile.gif" alt=":iconbleedingsmile:" title="bleedingsmile"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ We are not dead!<br />To those who have been faithfully waiting to see some super cute updates, I promise those will come shortly.<br />I have just sent note to every mod that I can so we can get this place jumping again.<br />The main problem is submissions, so I am trying to find a way that will suit the club that takes up much less time then submitting each one seperatly. So if anyone has any ideas please note myself, <a href="http://cakefruit.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/a/cakefruit.gif" alt=":iconcakefruit:" title="cakefruit"/></a> or <a href="http://bandeau.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/bandeau.gif" alt=":iconbandeau:" title="bandeau"/></a>. Dont leave anything here because it will get lose among the  302 Messages and 164 Notes.<br />Also, I believe the members list journal has capped us, so I will work on splitting it amoung two journals so we can make sure everyone is added and gets posted.<br /><br />Once we get up and moving we will host another contest using the new prize policy.<br /><br />PS we need another sub.<br /><br />- <a href="http://bleedingsmile.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/l/bleedingsmile.gif" alt=":iconbleedingsmile:" title="bleedingsmile"/></a><br /><br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Hey this is <a href="http://cakefruit.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/a/cakefruit.gif" alt=":iconcakefruit:" title="cakefruit"/></a> and oh my goodness it's been a long time since Cute-Craft has gotten an update! I know that some of us thought the club would be dead by this time but no worries, I'm going to be sorting out some of the notes and messages that's been received over the past months. I'm not sure who else was a mod here besides <a href="http://bandeau.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/a/bandeau.gif" alt=":iconbandeau:" title="bandeau"/></a> and I but the extra would come in handy to get this club back on its feet.<br /><br />On another note, once everything gets back to where it was we will hopefully get our first contest of 2009 going :] Please hang in there with us as we're trying our best to recover from the lack of updates! At this time, please also remain from submitting your deviations as there are about 300 notes that need to be answered, but requests to join are still welcomed! Hope this message gives you guys a sense of hope that Cute-Craft is going to make a comeback!<br />*******************************************************************************<br /><br />Update: I added a ton of new members in our member's list, so hopefully I got to everyone; if I happened to have missed you by accident please not the club again and I'll do my best to add you as soon as possible!<br /><br />See you again soon!<br /><a href="http://cakefruit.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/a/cakefruit.gif" alt=":iconcakefruit:" title="cakefruit"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm really honored to be chosen as one of the mods for Cute Crafts. I currently attend UCR, majoring in business with a minor in art. I have been making small crafts here and there since I was 15. I was mostly inspired by my friends that had a crazy talent in drawing; I started to bring their characters to life by sewing it piece by piece with felt (probably my favorite material). I then displayed my creations online, starting from livejournal to deviantart, and now I have my own little shop for people that would like to purchase one of my stuffies :] Anyway, I will do my best to service you guys and this club to my fullest!<br /><br /><a href="http://bandeau.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/a/bandeau.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconbandeau:" title="bandeau"/></a><br />Hi all!<br />Thank you so much for choosing me as one of your new moderators, here's a little about myself.<br />My name is Jazmyn and I'm a 23 year old Canadian ^^<br />Art has been my life whether I wanted it to or not. When I was three my mother figured if I could hold a fork, I was big enough to hold a pencil, and so here I am on DA! I love all kinds of art, so when I'm not holding a pencil I'm rolling around clay, cutting up fabric, or picking up knitting needles. My motto in life is "TRY EVERYTHING ONCE!" and that includes food, activities, artistic methods, and anything else!

First place winners receive a full star, second place a half star. For every star you get a prize:<br /><br /><b>3 stars</b>: 3 months subscription $15 gift certificate for your choice of craft store, or if members would be willing to pool together a crafters choice of prizes.

(If any other members are running contests having to do with cute crafts send in a note, it will be up to my discretion but I would be willing to post links in the journals.)<br /><br />*<a class="u" href="http://dekenicki.deviantart.com/">DekeNicki</a>'s Plush Yourself! contest <a href="http://dekenicki.deviantart.com/journal/18516433/">link</a><br />*<a class="u" href="http://taralynnjane.deviantart.com/">taralynnjane</a>'s Adipose contest <a href="http://news.deviantart.com/article/47398/">link</a><br /><br />-----<br />Current Member Count: <b>318</b> (I think, I cant count)<br />Current Watchers Count: <b>1,028</b><br /><br /><b>How to Join</b><br />Please send a note to ~Cute-Craft with "Join" as the subject line.

DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br />This has been a long time coming, and I apologize for the huge delay in it. <br /><br />*<a class="u" href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/">Cute-Craft</a> is undergoing some changes and has been heavily backed up on account of them.<br /><br />Firstly, I, *<a class="u" href="http://acrylicana.deviantart.com/">acrylicana</a>, am officially stepping down from my position and leaving the club. *<a class="u" href="http://bleedingsmile.deviantart.com/">BleedingSmile</a> has offered to take my place and will no doubt be making appropriate changes of her own to make sure the club is run smoothly (i.e. appointing whomever she chooses to moderator positions, changes in policy, overall look, ect).<br /><br />I don't know what happened to our other mod, =<a class="u" href="http://violetdawson.deviantart.com/">violetdawson</a>, as she has not responded to my note regarding this change.<br /><br />Thanks you so much, everyone, for your patience in the club's latency in getting to submitting everything. It's a mere bump in the road and this is the best thing to smooth it out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />As for me, this club has grown to such a degree that my schedule can no longer handle it. I'm amazed at the amount of members and the truly wicked level of skill you all posess. <br /><br />Keep crafting, ladies and gents.<br />- Mary (*<a class="u" href="http://acrylicana.deviantart.com/">acrylicana</a>)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Edit:<br />Hello everyone.<br />As you have read above our creator has stepped down, and I have taken over.<br />Since the other moderator is MIA I am going to have to make some decisions on my own. And since I am a people pleaser, please let me know if you have any good suggestions or think what I am doing is stupid.<br /><br />I think that the club needs some catching up.<br />So I am going to be closing down submissions until what is sitting in the inbox has been submitted or delt with. Currently there are 153 notes that need to be taken care of.<br /><br />So after Monday, April the 18th (at exactly 12 mindnight EST) any submission notes received will be deleted.<br />Join requests will still be allowed.<br /><br />Also, I will be looking for 2-3 moderators (depending on if our other moderator returns from obvilion!) Since I don't know too many of our members it will be hard for me to decide on who to give this mighty power too. So if anyone has any ideas or feels they are qualified let me know either through a comment or note.<br /><br />I will be putting up some poles to test some waters on possible new rules, so be sure to vote and give your opinion.<br /><br />Lastly, if you have anything urgent to say feel free to note my personal account *<a class="u" href="http://bleedingsmile.deviantart.com/">BleedingSmile</a>   (by urgent I do not mean "I submitted something and have not seen it up yet" or anything like that. I will refer you to this journal then delete your message.)<br /><br />Thank you all and please have patiences, this club will prevail!<br /><br />Ps: anyone wanna donate a subscription?   (and ignore my spelling errors.)<br /><br />Edit 2: <br />- Submissions are now closed.<br />- We have a subscription again!<br />- 2 notes ahve come in so far about being a moderator. If anyone has any ideas on how to pick mods or if you want to be one be sure to send in a note to either the club or myself.<br />- Expect big update this weekend.<br />- Once everything is caught up and new mods are in place we will do our first theme week.<br /><br />-----<br />Current Member Count: <b>383</b><br /><br /><b>How to Join</b><br />Please send a note to ~Cute-Craft with "Join" as the subject line.

If your entry is not in this journal entry, PLEASE send a note and a link to the deviation. There may have been entries we've missed. It happens, and it by no means reflects any sort of animosity towards anyone. I know that some were almost missed because they didn't have "contest entry" or something similar as the subject line.<br /><br />Prizes!<br />That's right, there are indeed prizes! One of which is yet to be announced (oooh, surprises!) and the other of which is any one item from my shop! (oooh, shopping!).<br /><br />:greenbullet: <u>Updates</u> :greenbullet:<br />I'm sure many of you have noticed that we've been a bit behind on submitting things immediately. No worries. It's a busy time of year, and we're going as fast as we can. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> So, if you're suddenly flooded in your inbox with club submissions, you're welcome! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Seriously, though, if you feel it's been ages and your submission isn't yet there, it's not because we, that being myself and our lovely mods, don't like you or your work. If anything ever isn't right for the club, you will receive a note telling you so.<br /><br />I'd also like to mention that last month there was the journal entry saying "hey, club chat". If you showed up for it, high five! Because I did not. I'll try to organize one at a better time in March. We'll discuss things. It'll be lovely. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />:greenbullet: <u>Contest Entries</u> :greenbullet:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75187283/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs24/150/f/2008/028/2/d/___but_where_would_they_live__by_KitsuneAteAGreeley.jpg" width="150" height="112" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75290169/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs24/150/f/2008/022/6/9/Craft__Black_Valentine_Purse_by_nanagirl.jpg" width="150" height="105" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75339888/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs24/150/i/2008/022/e/7/Be_My_Valentine___Plush_by_kickass_peanut.jpg" width="142" height="150" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75407835/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs22/150/i/2008/023/2/9/Cupid_by_cherrypiecrafts.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75442230/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs24/150/f/2008/023/1/0/Edward_and_Bella_by_candarama_crafts.jpg" width="107" height="150" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75775238/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs22/150/f/2008/027/b/4/Panda_Love_by_shmalice.png" width="112" height="150" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75876167/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs24/150/i/2008/028/3/b/Frog_Prince_by_LoRi_La_Tortuga.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/76062819/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs22/150/i/2008/030/0/5/Emme_Lou__s_Valentine_by_voodoomaggie.jpg" width="150" height="130" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/75996937/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs22/150/i/2008/030/2/5/lion_and_the_lamb_by_paperplane_products.jpg" width="150" height="97" /></a></span></span><br><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviatio... ]]></description>

<br />
<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br />Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR, CUTE CRAFTERS!<br />
<br />
Secondly, as you can probably tell, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to add new submissions and get to notes on here. You would've thought that since I've been on holiday for half a month I'd have more time (funny how that is never the case).<br />
<br />
Anywho, I'm looking for two people who have some time on their hands in general that can help maintain the club with me. I will still continue to update and throw in a podcast every so often, as well as get to notes and such, but the extra help during the week would be wonderful. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
SO! This is what we're going to do, reply here to this lovely journal with why you should be a club moderator/maintainer. I actually have a few people in mind that are high on my list, but would rather they offer their services, as I do not wish to impose upon them.<br />
<br />
However, that does not mean that you shouldn't apply for the position if you want it. <br />
<br />
Moderator Job:<br />
(what it will entail)<br />
submitting work to the gallery (this includes judging whether it is right for the club - if ever unsure, note me at my main account (the little tp roll at the end of this journal entry).<br />
<br />
For now, that's all. And to be honest, it entails a lot. Those who are chosen will be given access to the account, of course (hence my being very choosey) and full instructions on how/what to submit (it's pretty basic -- just a template description and uniform standards).<br />

<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br /><b> 12-16-07</b><br />
<br />
Ok! Firstly, the podcast will be back later this week. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (it's like the month of felt around here)<br />
I'm organizing all the info and topics for it today. I really want to make sure it's precise, on target, and informative. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Secondly, another felt question that I figured members would know the answer to!<br />
<br />
<b>*<a class="u" href="http://pluginbaby05.deviantart.com/">pluginbaby05</a> asked:<br />
<i>"what can i do to make the egdes stronger when im sewing, because occasionally, the hole where i have sewn, splits to the edge so i find it difficult to make tidy stitches at the edge because im frightened of it splitting and ruining it... ?</i></b><br />
<br />
Good question!<br />
I honestly do not know a good solution other than being very careful, which could pose problems later. So, if you have an idea or answer, let us know. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>Felt Tips</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
The following tips were provided by members in the last journal via comments. In case you missed them, here they are in a nutshell:<br />
<br />
1. To keep your felt from fluffing up and getting all over, iron it between two pieces of wax paper parchment paper.<br />
<br />
2. You can use a lint roller to get those other coloured bits off your felt. <br />
<br />
3. Ebay is a great place to get felt at bargain prices. Etsy too (search for felt in the supplies section).<br />
<br />
4. Clean your scissors after cutting each color. Lint tends to stick to the inside.<br />
<br />
If you have a craft tip on any topic, feel free to send it in via journal comment or via note.

<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br /><b>12-02-07</b><br />
<br />
Aloha, lovlies!<br />
(It's freezing cold here with tons of snow, so I'm thinking warm thoughts with that greeting)<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is doing wonderfully well. <br />
The podcast will be back in action later this month.<br />
I got a question about felt a few weeks ago and meant to answer it then, but thought instead I'd post it here so others can offer their advice (so sorry about the wait).<br />
<br />
<b>What can I do about getting bit of other colors of felt on my white felt (especially black)?</b><br />
<br />
I do believe that was the question. I know I did not delete the note, but I'm having trouble finding it again (so many to sift through). <br />
<br />
Anywho, my answer is to keep them separate. Some acrylic craft felts are fluffier than others. They're more problematic in that they get all over the place and often are thinner and prone to easily ripping apart. To avoid this fluffiness, I often create the item then lightly sheer it away with sharp scissors.<br />
<br />
If you're keen with felt, feel free to offer your expertise. Chances are other members have much better answers. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />

<u><b>News</b></u><br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> 1. In regard to the auction, of which will occur sometime around January and February (still sketchy on details, simply because there's a lot to organize still, so we're taking our time to make everything perfect and to go smoothly overall), the poll, so far, reflects the World Wildlife Federation as being our charity of choice.<br />
<br />
All the charities were VERY worthy, mind you, and I understand it's a difficult decision. Part of the reason for this is simply that the more awareness for these organizations the better, regardless of which is ultimately chosen for our group effort. <br />
<br />
Crafting for a Cause. <br />
Quite lovely.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> 2. <a href="http://kattykinns.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kattykinns.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkattykinns:" title="kattykinns"/></a> wants everyone who's keen on participating in the craft swap to know that the deadline for applications is <b>15 December</b>. <br />
<br />
Make sure, if you want to participate, that you've sent a note to her with the following information:<br />
<b>Real Name<br />
Username<br />
Address<br />
Country<br />
Email</b><br />
<br />
More information about it is here: <a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/journal/15620587/">[link]</a> <br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> 3. Member interviews will be back in the journals next week. Sorry about the lack of them. They're picked at random and 3 members are going to be sent the questionnaire today. They'll be posted with each Cute Craft News journal entry, as occurred previously.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> 4. Notes are back in action. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> 5. If you are a member and your shop isn't in the member shop list entry, let me know. There's so many wonderful items that are submitted here weekly, and I know MANY of you have shops. Being apart of this club allows so many to get better exposure for your creations (networking is the main reason the club was created). So, let me know with a little note the url and name of your shop.<br />
-----<br />
<b><u>Got a Question About Crafts?</u></b><br />
Feel free to send a note or ask it on the journal.<br />
<br />
Especially questions about felt. If it is a felt-related question, it might be saved for the podcast (two weeks until that's created and posted).<br />
<br />
I'm working on getting a few other crafters who work A LOT with felt to supply some advice. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> If possible, one might join me in my "studio" and record it (provided I clean up. hahaha).<br />

<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br /><b>11-22-07</b><br />
Ahoy hoy Cute Crafters.<br />
Welcome new members.<br />
Enjoy the insane flood of deviations.<br />
Good times.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> <b>Here's the deal.</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
Secret Santa swap is being moved to New Years swap.<br />
If you're keen on participating, note *<a class="u" href="http://kattykinns.deviantart.com/">KattyKinns</a> (you'll have to go into your notes and write it in manually rather than hitting the non-existent note button) with the following information. Or, send an e-mail to Kattykinns@hotmail.co.uk if the notes aren't working for you.<br />
<br />
<b>Real Name<br />
Username<br />
Address<br />
Country<br />
Email</b><br />
<br />
Do this asap.<br />
If there's a certain deadline, she'll let me know and I'll update this. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
After you send the note to *<a class="u" href="http://kattykinns.deviantart.com/">KattyKinns</a>, and are accepted, and told who your recipient is, you must create the item by a certain date (tba) and send her a picture of said item/gift/package that includes (in the picture, so write it down and place it next to it or on it) your username and the date. Then the address will be sent to you so you may send it off in the post. Some sort of proof of postage or tracking should really be used. The post is insane from now until..idk..mid January. Just madness, that.<br />
<br />
The limit of how much to spend is around $10 (can be less, but shouldn't be any more than), and a little note or card should be included to say who it's from (when that time comes on making the item).<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> <b>Charity</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
We're going to hold off indeed and take our time in organising it. There's a new poll with options on which charity and links to more information about each one.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>A Note from our Gallery Director</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
I was sent a note from one of the lovely Artisan Craft Gallery Directors that requested it be passed on to all of you.<br />
The following is a message from one of our lovely Gallery Directors, ^<a class="u" href="http://myana.deviantart.com/">Myana</a>:<br />

<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br />11-18-07<br />
<br />
Ahoy Hoy, Cute Crafters!<br />
I am so very sorry about the delay in updating this poor club has received. My schedule is crazy as of right now and will continue to be crazy for another month (and then I have a month off -- nice).<br />
<br />
Anywho, I'll be updating the club today, tomorrow, and Tuesday -- getting back to notes, ect.<br />
<br />
Never fear, you're ALWAYS on my mind! (I have to club in my bookmarks toolbar -- so I can ALWAYS feel guilty if I've run out of time).<br />
<br />
As for the podcasts, they're going to have to wait until my semester ends.<br />
<br />
Now, many of you wanted to do that Secret Santa thing, which is quite swell.<br />
What we're going to do is have the lovely *<a class="u" href="http://kattykinns.deviantart.com/">KattyKinns</a> organize is (since she was sweet enough to offer). I guess we'll have a sign-up of some sort. I'm kind of not in the 100% know of how this works, BUT I will update this with the full info asap! <br />
<br />
As for the charity auction, are we sure we wish to do this now, or would you guys like to wait a couple months and really get organized? I know it's that time of year where everyone feels grand and giving, but perhaps it's super swell to work on all of it and iron everything out, that way when it's going on we can REALLY give our bext effort (b/.c I know how absolutely hectic the next two months will be for me---unsure about you guys, but many of us are in some sort of school, or pressured from having to work extra hard to celebrate some sort of winter gift giving holiday).<br />
<br />
The winning focus (from our poll) was <b>Animal Rights</b>.<br />
Let's suggest some awesome animal rights-related charities. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
(There's one I will not help, and will make those reasons known if it comes up. They're kind of...mmm...over the edge about certain things).<br />
<br />
SO! I'll talk to you all very soon. Welcome new members. And everyone enjoy the awesome submissions being added into the club for the next three days!<br />

<br />
So sorry about the lack of a podcast last week. Due to a bunch of technical difficulties and my getting sick everything was delayed.<br />
This week's podcast is short, but I think will be continued next week a bit. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://cute-craft.blogspot.com/2007/11/episode-002-plushies.html">Click here to get to the podcast</a><br />
<br />
It features some great information from ~<a class="u" href="http://peachymanaangel.deviantart.com/">peachymanaangel</a> about plushies and sewing.<br />
<br />
There's probably tons more about plushies, sewing, and (next week's topic) felt that you guys want to know, SO send me your questions before November 8th so they can be included in the next podcast! I will do my best to find answers for anything you guys want to know about when it comes to crafting. ^_^<br />
<br />
Questions about past topics are great as well (got a question about clay? ask!).<br />
<br />
Information about club goings on will come next update. Again, sorry for the slight derailment.<br />

Welcome all new watchers and members!<br />
The club will now be updated on Thursdays and Fridays beginning October 11/12th. There will be a club chat THIS Friday. Please let me know what time you're available to do so in the comments (let me know what your time zone is as well). Club chats are open to all members and watchers. We'll discuss impending club functions, crafts, and are open to new ideas and thoughts about the club as well as just getting to know one another. A poll will be created and edited into this post once a good idea of what times might work for the chat.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>News Item Two</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
Podcast!<br />
Ok. I'm currently waiting for my headset to arrive via post. It's tracked and says between the 11th and 18th of this month. So, I believe our first posted podcast will be the week of the 22nd (probably around the 25th or so)..I'll see.<br />
<br />
I've decided to do two podcasts per week. One is Cute-Craft's official podcast and the other is based upon art and culture (i.e. cute art, pop art, design, kawaii culture, ect ect). The second is something some of you might enjoy as well but isn't really apart of the club. Just thought I'd mention it since I did consider having them be one and the same. BUT, not everyone who listens to the second will want the club info from the first.<br />
<br />
That aside, let's start sending in questions for the podcast!<br />
If you've got a Cute-Craft related question, send along a note with the subject line "PODCAST QUESTION" (otherwise I cannot guarentee I'll read it in a timely manner, since notes are overlooked without the proper subject line until later). I'll search long and hard for the answer and read and answer it in the first podcast episode.<br />
<br />
The club's podcast also does need a theme song. I'm not talking about someone singing, (although, who knows, maybe that would work), but rather some music that's specially composed for the club. I know a few people offered already and I decided to think about it. SO if you're handy with music (especially something done digitally -- think about it being cutesy and short -- no longer than maybe 30 seconds..maybe 15) note me with the subject: PODCAST THEME and we'll discuss it. ^_^ You'll be credited every episode, of course along with links in the show notes to your devpage or website or whatever. <br />
<br />
Anywho, yeah. I think that's all that's needed so far from you guys. ^_^ In later podcasts we'll see about having special guests and interviews with those who're free to do them and able. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

Charity.<br />
We talked about it before. Now that the contest is over, let's talk about it again. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Some things previously suggested were auctions, calendars, donating craft items, ect. I'm not sure which is the best, but it's definitely a project to think about. It's going to need people to help out or head it and updates from them, maybe. I... ]]></description>

37 people voted in our last poll (which is odd considering we have close to 100 members and over double that amount of watchers...but whatever), and 36 of them voted "YES" for a podcast. The one that didn't never stated why, which is odd, considering it would've been nice to hear why they think there shouldn't be one.<br />

So far, no entries.<br />

This might be pointless, but more and more questions are being asked that are answered in EVERY journal. Questions such as "what is this club?", "how do I submit?", "who should join?", and clarification upon what "2 per week" really means. Seriously, you're on an English-speaking website. Those questions are answered in English. If you have problems with comprehending the language, ask me if I can get more translated media. I'm more than willing to find out who is able to translate if you're having trouble. To be honest, though, I'm unsure how someone who doesn't understand the language functions on this website at all. Especially with such a lengthy TOS that has some very interesting points about copyright.<br />

<b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> Next Club Chat? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> </b><br />
Our last 2 club chats were very lack luster. If you guys want to have another, let me and everyone else know, as well as the best time/day for it. I'll make a poll out of some of the times you guys choose. <br />
<br />
<b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> Cute Club Podcast?<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /></b><br />
I've been thinking lately about how useful it would be to have a club podcast. It'd be comprised of a small panel of members who would discuss club news, contests, themes, how-to's on making things, supplies, and answer crafting questions. There are some GREAT craft podcasts out on the web, but ours would be tailored for CUTE CRAFTS.<br />
<br />
I'm still thinking about it, but if you have a mic, or know anything about podcasts (the more minds the better), or would like to participate, let me know. If no one's keen, I might just do it myself anyways. ~_o It'd be a weekly or bi-weekly thing. Probably recorded on Fridays or Sundays, and wouldn't begin for another month or so.<br />
<br />
All thoughts appreciated.<br />

<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br /><b>Update</b>: 08-08-07<br />
<a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/journal/poll/246085/">Club Chat Poll</a><br />
All members AND watchers are welcome to every club organized chat. ^_^ <br />
Right now it's looking as though the same time slot is winning, SO I've decided there should be TWO organized chat meetings where we'll talk about cute crafts, crafting tips, and silliness.<br />
<br />
And official announcement will be made TOMORROW, but it looks like the next chat will be:<br />
<br />
- <b>Friday, August 10 - 7pm EDT</b><br />
AND<br />
- <b>Saturday, August 11 - 11am EDT</b><br />
<br />
You can be in one or the other, both, or none at all. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I hope to see many of you there!<br />
<br />

The first club chat went wonderfully well! The chatroom is always up, and I know some have been popping in and out of there and enjoying it on their own. ^_^ Hopefully it's going well when Cute-Craft isn't there. hahaha.<br />
<br />
The next club chat poll dates are up, so go check it out! It's a different day and time in hopes others can join on in the fun all over the world! <br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>News Item Two</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
We almost have all our judges for the contest! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> We need one more. If you think you're up to the task and you love the club, send a note!<br />
<br />
We don't, however, have any more prizes just yet. I was hoping more would contribute, but since this is the first contest, perhaps no one is keen enough b/c they'd like to see how it goes. I understand completely and have decided to add a couple more prizes for the winners in the hopes it's enticing enough. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<b>First Place</b>: 3 months sub, a custom pouch made by *<a class="u" href="http://tedsie.deviantart.com/">tedsie</a> (visit gallery for examples), and a custom necklace (<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60680569/">[link]</a>).<br />
<br />
<b>Second Place</b>: 1 months sub, a necklace (<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60680569/">[link]</a>)  mobile strap (check out *<a class="u" href="http://tedsie.deviantart.com/">tedsie</a> for examples).<br />
<br />
<b>Third Place</b>: 1 months sub, a necklace (<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60680569/">[link]</a>) OR a  mobile strap (check out *<a class="u" href="http://tedsie.deviantart.com/">tedsie</a> for examples).<br />
<br />
<b>People's Choice</b>: a necklace (<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60680569/">[link]</a>) OR a  mobile strap (check out *<a class="u" href="http://tedsie.deviantart.com/">tedsie</a> for examples).<br />
<br />
Prizes are awarded (and shipped) free of charge to the winners. SO, make this contest GOOD! This is the ONLY time that I'm fronting all the prizes, and if others don't contribute next time, this might be the only contest (sadness!). I hope that's good incentive to get this contest started. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I'll announce the start date as soon as we get our last judge. ^_^<br />

We've hit the 50 member mark! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Let's hope to gather 50 more and beyond! ^_^<br />
<a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/journal/poll/244346/">Take the poll</a> to decide our first Club Chat!<br />

Current Club theme - August 1st - September 30th<br />
<b>Back to School</b><br />
It won at 29% with 12 votes.<br />
<br />
How does this work?<br />
Get to work on crafts befitting this theme. They'll be the submissions in the "featured deviation" spot from now on. It's also something to inspire you for two months. We'll consider limiting club submissions to the current theme at a later date (maybe next time - discussion will take place for the next two months about it).<br />
<br />

Contest decided!<br />
Per the poll, <b>Fast Food</b> is the winner! It had 8 votes. It was a very close race in deciding. <br />
As per the last poll, the contest will last <b>One Month</b> (this option won with 25 votes). It hasn't started <i>yet</i> because we have to decide upon prizes and a judges panel.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>News Item Four</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
Judges Panel:<br />
Judges are unable to enter the contest they are judging. They are required to remain impartial and must cast their votes at an appointed time. <br />
6 judges, aside from myself, will be chosen for each contest. <br />
<b>Judges do not have to be members</b><br />
There's A LOT of wonderful, actively involved people who support the club but do not create cute craft work. This is where they're able to participate (depending on who they are - i.e. if I don't know them, they're not supportive enough of the club, given that I run the thing).<br />
Please send me a note if you'd like to be a judge for the first contest. Title your note "judge". Also, explain why you should be a judge. Blank notes will not be considered.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>News Item Five</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
If you're able to donate prizes (there's been mention of it before, send me a note again to solidify your decision) send a note with the title "prize donation". <br />
I'll be donating one 3 month sub and two one month subs to the first, second, and third place winners respectively.<br />
<br />
Each contest will have 4 prizes: <br />

<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br />07-25-07<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>News Item One</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
Is something still amiss with the forum? A good half of the posts don't seen to show up, but they do go through, which is odd. So! Perhaps until such things are fixed (I did send a bug report) properly, discuss club related things here in the comments of the news journals. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> That way you're ensured that everyone may see your thoughts and queries and lovely discussion may take place. ^_^<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> <b>News Item Two</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
In the matter of themes, there's a new poll about them. LOTS of good options have been suggested by members. Fear not, if your choice isn't chosen this time, there's always later. <br />
As for the frequency of themes and contests, that's kind of to be determined. Some feel it should be weekly, monthly, bi-monthly...and others feel sporadic ones are swell too. <br />
<br />
We'll start it off as being bi-monthly and see how it goes. <br />
The first theme will run from August 1st through September 30th. The theme will be announced next news journal per poll results.<br />
<a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/journal/poll/242548/">Poll for club theme is here</a><br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>News Item Three</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
Contests will take place randomly throughout the year. I think it's best to start one off and have it last a bit of a while (it'll begin August 1st as well).<br />
<a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/journal/poll/242550/">Poll for contest theme is here</a>.<br />
How long should a contest last? One month? Two months? Longer? Shorter? Sound off! <a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/journal/poll/242551/">Poll is here</a><br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>News Item Four</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
Features. It's been mentioned that featuring a club member each journal would be swell. I think so too. This will begin starting next week. As to who is chosen is an arbitrary decision, unless you guys have some other ideas on that. Note: the feature will comprise of a small interview, some thumbnails of their work, links to their dA, website, and/or shop as well. It's a good way, aside from the introductions already made, which are great, btw, to get to know one another and to bring attention to the craft work.<br />
<br />
Given the size of the club, features could take a while to get through everyone. I fear that in time some might complain that they've been here longer than so-and-so and should be featured first, yadda-yadda. I will never be featured, as I talk enough. ~_o<br />
<br />
So, if you have some ideas on how I can chose people (I'm not digging alphabetical order, in case you were thinking about it - although if you lobby that choice, do it well. Who knows. There could be a tide of agreement) for weekly journal features, let me know!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><b>Ect. Thoughts</b><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />
I think the club is going well so far. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> The only problems have been that of others knowing we're a club and not one person (sometimes), as they'll fav this work and not yours, which is awful! Any time it happens, I send them a note about it, unless they've removed it themselves (50% of the time, they do). Only a couple people have ignored the notes and... ]]></description>

<b>WE ARE A CLUB! DO NOT FAV US! FAV THE ARTISTS! WATCHERS APPRECIATED, THOUGH.</b><br /><br />07-18 Quick Update:<br />
Consider this half news, as it's just a little reminder to all of you wonderful members and watchers.<br />
If something isn't working in the club (broken links, files are messed up, typos bothering you) or if you feel submitted artwork isn't up to snuff (not cute, not handmade enough, ect). Send a note. I definitely want to hear all opinions on the club. <br />
<br />
Feel free to start new forum topics as well. The next real news installment is due for next week (Monday or Tuesday), as well as deciding on some key club activities. So, get your thoughts heard! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

Thanks to *<a class="u" href="http://happygirl06.deviantart.com/">HappyGirl06</a> for spotting the typo in the journal's CSS, this looks to be working properly. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Yay! I feel like a whole club now. <br />

The avatar was chosen (thanks to everyone who took the poll!) - thread, GOOD choice. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

*<a class="u" href="http://babylondonstar.deviantart.com/">BabyLondonStar</a> suggested a bi-monthly theme. I think that'd be a lot of fun. What about the rest of you (members and watchers alike may sound off on any news item. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Just because you're not crafting doesn't mean we don't want your opinion!).<br />

~<a class="u" href="http://summermagic.deviantart.com/">summermagic</a> suggested we have a club chatroom. Now, we do have a forum (and I'll add some topics in there after this journal post), but what do you guys think about organizing group chats? There are a few options to this (creating a chat room, having one on dA...I thought that was possible some how..., everyone jumps on AIM or MSN or something in a group one...), and the major problem is that of time zones. <br />
<br />
Time zones and schedules aside, however, would you guys be interested in organizing group chats sometimes? We could have actual club meetings sometimes..maybe hold multiple ones and copy/paste the transcripts for those who missed it. Something like that. We'll see. Talk in the forum about it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

Contests. Themed contests. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Some mention of donated prizes have already been made. In order to run a proper contest we'll need the following:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/music.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":music:" title="Music" /> a theme<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/music.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":music:" title="Music" /> prizes<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/music.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":music:" title="Music" /> judges panel<br />
<br />
There would be multiple prizes to a contest run here at Cute-Craft Club, the judges for any given contest would change each time (well, I, *<a class="u" href="http://tedsie.deviantart.com/">tedsie</a>, am a constant... ]]></description>

Also, let me know what sort of crafts you make. <b>Do not comment with a join request</b>. Those get lost and aren't always checked.<br />Please watch the club and put the club icon in your journal.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/orange.gif" width="17" height="28" alt=":orange:" title="Orange" /> <b>Who Should Join</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/orange.gif" width="17" height="28" alt=":orange:" title="Orange" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />We love ALL watchers, but in order to join, you MUST make cute crafts! If you don't, then you may just watch the club and contribute with love. ^_^ But members are contributors.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/orange.gif" width="17" height="28" alt=":orange:" title="Orange" /> <b>How to Submit</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/orange.gif" width="17" height="28" alt=":orange:" title="Orange" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />Each member is allowed to submit <b>two deviations per week</b>. This does not mean you can submit 8 at once for the month, though. Nor does this mean you have to submit 2 per week. You can submit one per month. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> It's fine.<br /><br /><b>Note</b> Cute Craft with a link to your submission. <br /><br />Submissions are under the maintainer's discretion. While the concept of "Cute" is wide, some things will not be accepted, and a reason will ALWAYS be given. If there is a debate about this, a moderator will be brought in and a discussion will take place. We at Cute Craft conduct ourselves civilly. <br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/orange.gif" width="17" height="28" alt=":orange:" title="Orange" /> <b>Rules</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/orange.gif" width="17" height="28" alt=":orange:" title="Orange" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><br />MUST READ BEFORE JOINING!<br /><br />1. 1337, chatspeak, and fangirl Japanese will not be tolerated. We're a club and we need to understand one another as much as possible. It's obnoxious to receive notes or comments that require a Rosetta Stone. I understand if English is not your native language. Just do your best. ^_^<br /><br />2. Direct favs and comments to the original deviation only! Unless it's something for and from the club (which will be noted in the description!), all comments and favs should be given to the deviant and not here. You'll get a note or comment directing you to do so if it happens.<br /><br />3. Only 2 submissions per member per week. Already stated, but some might be skimming the entry.<br /><br />4. Stay with the club's theme of cute craft work, please. If it's not in the artisan section (no receipes or food, please), and if it's not cute, please mov... ]]></description>
