Lettuce Craft Turns 5! - High Five Challenge - DEADLINE EXTENDED!

[AIMR (Linda -In the year 2025, I am happy to be alive! :us:)]

I can’t believe I missed the Zoom! I thought it was Aug 9! Grrr…I had so many errands to run yesterday and have more today.

I want to finish up my 5 projects soon as well!

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

Oooo! I looove it!! Gorgeous piece. I’m so glad you got to go!

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

I will try to do some more zooms this fall!

Challenge deadline is Aug 9. How is everyone feeling about the date? Does anyone need more time?

Remember the winner will receive an Amazon gift card!

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

I have a project to submit! It will just a few days for me to get a post together!

@Abbeeroad

How is everyone feeling about the date?

I should definitely be able to finish this week.

[MistressJennie (Moderator - Jennie - she/her)]

I could use more time… LOL

I ordered fabric to make something special, and some of it has arrived, but not all of it. I might have to downgrade my original plan to something smaller in scale.

Of course, if I do miss the deadline, I could always use the fabrics to make the original planned item, and put it up as something fun for our next site Garage Sale.

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

Let’s extend by a week. I’ll update the post in the morning but our new deadline for the challenge is Saturday, August 16!

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

WOO HOO! I posted my submission! It’s a long’un, too. Oof.

Great Big Built-in Bookcase, In 5 Parts - High Five Challenge Entry

[StainedShelves05] This project was 5.5 years in the making! Because in mid-July 2019 I almost finished replacing out upstairs floors with a floating LVP that could not tolerate a full bookcase upon it and we had a… really full bookcase. In February of this year (2025), I finally screwed up my courage to start the Big Built-in Bookcase project I decided would be the solution way back then. It took me about 5 months to complete and High Five Challenge helped push me to finish in July! I’m goin…

I made a lot of progress on mine today, but I’ve still got a lot to do, so I’m very glad about the extra time

Sorry I missed the zoom, I was fast asleep …

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

OK! I updated the first post to reflect the new deadline. We will now be voting August 17-24 and announcing the winner on August 25!

I’m excited to hear folks are crafting away and for our first entry!!

[ArtsyLadyCrafter (Sandi Always Creating ✨)]

I finished mine too. Going to take pics today.

[Bunny1kenobi (Deanna 🇺🇸)]

I finished my entry! Who knew it would take so much time to make these? LOL!

Pseudo “Military” Honors - High Five Challenge Entry

I would never presume to encourage stolen valor. Ever. However, as people who wear a lot of hats and keep a lot of plates spinning, I think we deserve an opportunity to pin a medal to our chests from time to time. So I made five badges meant to reward their wearers for being awesome! [IMG_4900] I’m intending to offer these in the STS.

My project is done and boy am I glad! I always get paralyzed when I start a new collage project. It seems so overwhelming and, despite an irresistible desire to create it, I have to force myself to get started. Good luck to us all!

Lettuce Craft Turns 5 Wall Art Collage- High Five Challenge Entry

[megwell (Megan (she/her))]

I think I’m done! Photos tomorrow, and I should be able to post.

I was so happy to get my post up that I almost forgot to link it here .

Freeform Cupcake Pocket Letter -- High Five Challenge Entry

Would it be a Lettuce Craft birthday party without cake? For my challenge entry, I made a modified pocket letter of 5 cupcake ATCs. [20250807_184517] Pocket letters are traditionally a 9-card affair in a full 3-x-3-sleeve page. But that’s not 5, so I cut away the extra pockets in an abstract design. (Yes, that top right one is…precarious.) The card bases are a patchwork of scraps. I wanted them to be mostly neutral with a few pops of color. I had to combine yellow and orange in my rainbow, b…

Thank you so much for extending the deadline! Woo hoo! I can do first week of school stuff (you know, my pesky job that gets in the way of my crafting), AND participate in the challenge.

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

Yay!!

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

I just finished my project this afternoon! It’s a colouring zine - I was so excited to get it done and posted, that I haven’t even added any colour to it yet

Five things I love about Lettuce Craft Colouring Zine - High Five Challenge Entry

How many entries do we have now? About 5? I would hate to have to choose or judge. Will there be any runner-ups or honorable mentions? This has been such fun!

[Abbeeroad (Abbie - she/her)]

Yes! Exactly 5 entries at the moment. We will have a poll so everyone can vote for the winner.

Voting will happen August 17-24, 2025. The winner will be announced on August 25!
