The group is open to anyone following the prompts on GUTTER GIRLZ!! Membership approval is only subject to us verifying that you already follow, or plan to start following the blog. Basically, we just want to know you are really interested in the group for it's content, and not just looking to be in a shit ton of ning groups for the heck of it. :)

The blog hosts challenges to get you thinking. It's about being honest. Take it to the gutter or don't. Be light hearted or dark. It's all up to you. It's about going places that everyday scrapbooking might not take you. It's about saying things out loud that you may have never said or even THOUGHT to say. It's about putting acid on your pages if you want to. This blog may lead you to things you didn't know about yourself. We encourage you to scrap, art journal, paint, draw, photograph, tape, staple, glue and LIVE the nitty gritty.

Here's how the blog works.
Who can play in the gutter? YOU CAN!!! This challenge blog is open to ANYONE who would like to be part of it!
* We will be hosting a new challenge on the 15th and 30th of every month. Be sure to leave a comment with links to your projects if you play along!!
* Twice a month, we will host a THREE PART challenge. You can chose to do all three in ONE project, or you can do each part on it's own OR you can do one or two!!
* For every ONE of the 3 part challenge you complete and link us to, you will be entered in a random drawing to win that prize. You can be entered up to three times for each challenge. A single project that uses all three parts to the challenge will be entered as three. All links must be left ON THE BLOG.
* Every month, one of the Design Team members will host the prize for the challenge.
* In addition to our drawing for a prize, the team will choose their favorite entry from those who enter, and that person will be a guest designer for the following month on GutterGirlz!!
* All links must be left on the blog by midnight on the 12th of the next month. So, if you are taking part in the challenge on the 15th, it is due (to be eligible for the drawing and guest spot) on the 12 of the NEXT month. If you are taking part in the challenge on the 30th, it's also due on the 12th of the next month to be eligible for prize and guest spot.

THE THREE PARTS:
1. The Prompt. This will be either a word or a theme for you to take however far you'd like into the gutter.
2. The Song. There will be a song that goes with our prompt theme. You can use it however you'd like. Lyrics, Title, or just the FEEL expressed in art form.
3. Technique or Product. An item or technique that we will ask you to use in your work.
This is NOT a competition. Please respect EVERYONE whose work you visit. Their work is NOT for you. They have simply chosen to share it with us. You can get as gutter or as clean as you'd like to. We only want you to PLAY with us, and be open to exposing things about yourselves you might not have thought to before. Thanks for playing!!
