I know what that feels like! 
I’m sure whatever you make will be wonderful 
Make something YOU love! Since masterboards are meant to be cut up and can be used in such small or big pieces, I think it’s mostly about the process of having fun and making a mess.

I’m back from a short visit with my mom and sisters. Ready to get back to work.
Messiest craft? All of them (I’m a bit of a klutz!)

Hmm, yeah, I hadn’t thought of this swap as one that required much pinterest stalking, just keeping in mind color preferences and stuff… but now I’m second-guessing myself! 
It probably doesn’t. I know I don’t have a dedicated masterboard, uh, board or anything. But my partner listed her Pinterest, so I figured it was worth checking out as part of my brainstorming. It did give me some ideas related to ____.

There’s been a lot of gelly plate playing on other boards, so I decided to get mine out, but yeah…it still isn’t my favorite way to masterboard.

I just use pinterest stalking as procrastination / time sink time. Always manage to add a few pins!!

I’m not sure what my messiest craft was-- probably something long enough ago I’ve suppressed the memory-- but my mind immediately went to the time my poor kid got all excited to use some air dry clay from a kit where the clay was a little too wet, and she ended up with it all over her hands & workspace looking up with a woeful expression to say, “I’ve made a horrible mistake.”
(my fingers are presently splotched with many colors of acrylic, tho, and I got my husband to glow-forge some more stencil shapes for me!)

I sat down to start a masterboard and was reminded how fast and fun they are! So I’m almost done with the first one 
I was splattering it with some white but the white was mixing with the wet colors so I have to let it try a little more first 
I also channeled @Magpie and used an empty box for splatter catching (instead of awkwardly holding paper around the danger zones) 
I’ve read my partner’s questionnairs and am going to try to stick to colors I think they’ll like, but I’m not going to stress or overthink it too much! The overthinking will be saved for the small crafted items 
I haven’t even started to think about what I will make for those yet…

wow, you were fast!
I have just returned from vacation, and am a bit paralyzed with jet lag at the moment, but hopefully tomorrow & Sat will be productive!

LOL
Don’t stick with any certain colors on my account! I’m sure I will like anything you send (as always 
)
and tell me more about the empty box? Do you put your paper down in a box before splattering?
I needed to NOT procrastinate and get stuck in my head. One thing I did was awful, but I think it’s been rescued enough to work!!

This seems like a fun project to do at least partially outside (especially paint splattering ) so I’m hoping to get these done on the weekend!
It’s a medium-ish size box, turned on it’s side and the bottom is lined with paper. I splattered one end of masterboard paper then turned it around to splatter the rest 
I haven’t found any paint on the walls so I think it was successful

I keep an empty Amazon box just for doing this. I have no idea why I didn’t think of this before @magpie showed us this! My poor sewing machine and laptop are covered in little white splatters from the Zoom classes! lol I love splatters and not I can sort of control the mess (I still tend to splatter myself, so I do not wear my good leggings…lol)
