It's almost time, guys! The Compendium of Curiosities 2 Challenge (CC2C) begins this Friday, April 13, at 8 am MDT. I'm so excited to welcome all the participants as we share our experience of Tim Holtz's awesome new book! If you haven't gotten a copy of your own yet, here's the link. You'll need it to play along, and you'll love it because it's absolutely packed with great techniques!
A few things to remember as we embark upon this journey:
We will work our way through all 35 techniques in the book. However, we will NOT be doing the techniques in the order they appear in the book! We can't be that predictable, right?
I'd love it if everyone is able to submit a piece every single week, but I also know that schedules and budgets and life can sometimes get in the way. If you can't play along with all the challenges, that's totally fine! Just join in whenever you're able.
You really must have your own copy of A Compendium of Curiosities, Volume 2, in order to participate in the challenges. I will not be posting the technique instructions on my blog, and participants must not do so, either. We want to encourage people to buy this awesome book; giving away the instructions wouldn't be fair to Tim!
Some of the challenges will be technique-based, others will be product-based. You may use whatever supplies you have on hand for the challenges, but if a technique is centered around a specific product, please use that product. In other words, for a Distress Stain-specific technique, don't use an ink pad.
You are more than welcome to submit your CC2C pieces to any other challenges you wish, as long as you link back to this blog and clearly state that your piece has been submitted to the Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities 2 Challenge at Studio L3.
Though not a requirement, I strongly encourage you to create a brand new piece for the challenges, even if it's a technique you've done before. Why miss another opportunity to get spectacularly inky?!

I think that covers it... at least for now!Once CC2C begins, I'll turn this page into a permanent FAQ for your reference, and will update it as I think of things I should have included but didn't think of at the time.
I hope to see you for CC2C!
Hugs,
Linda

Sorry about the last comment - not sure what happened!
I can't wait for friday .........!!
I will admit that i Have never joined -nor hosted- a challenge and I want to challenge myself to do something new. My blog has been great for making me accountable-to myself. I feel so much better when I create but it gets pushed aside for life and often I don't do anything crafty for days and days.
My only issue with this challenge is your requirement to use the exact product for product based challenges. Don't get me wrong- I am a Tim addict and have lots and lot so of his products. the problem is I don't have a local source for much more than the basics-I have the smaller Michael's and a hobby lobby with very limited supplies. Is it possible for a heads up before we NEED that required product? I 'm afraid that I will have to mail order for these products and if I have to mail order it , I won't get it in time.
Can't wait to play.
Can't wait! Hugs trace x
Friday and not Monday! Oh, Oh, hope I remember!!! Well when I see what is up on Friday, by Monday I will know what to do! Ha!Ha! Have a great week and will catch you on Friday the 13th!
Yes, I'm curious :) I hope that I will get my book the forthcoming weekend in Zeist.
I ordered my book on line on Monday last week, but I hear there is a backlog due to CC101...hope mine gets here eventually for me to join in!
Woo Hoo! Have my book ready and waiting and not peeked at it too much so that it is all fresh!! Will it stay on Fridays or will it move back to Mondays?
I'm ready to play!

I'm so excited to play along so much so that I've planned my orders to include the products listed in the Compendium II book. At least from what I seen. I've never used some of them but stocked up totally on ideo-olgy things. I even was able to purchase 2 of the configurations. Gofigure ;)
I'm really excited to dive in & appreciate your sharing. Love the CC1C link too.
Thanks for all the hard work & planning for these. Can't wait to start. HUGS
Bring it on!!!! Can not wait to get messy and grungy with my fellow T!M groupies! What a wonderful medium internet is to think me, from South Africa will be able to play with grungers from all over the world! This is going to be FUN !!!
Woohooo! I am so ready! I have my CC2 Book and can't wait!
Just ordered my copy! I'm sure I'll be fashionably late to the party as usual...but looking forward to the journey in artistry!
The wait is almost over - yayayayayayyay! I've missed this challenge so much. So excited and VERY appreciative that you're taking this on again. You rock, lady! :)
Ordering CC2 book today. I have never participated in a challenge before, and not sure that my life will allow it now. But - I at least want to keep up with what's going on and am so excited for Friday to come!
Sounds like a great follow-up to Creative Chemistry 101...I was wondering what I was going to do now that it's over!! Looking forward to seeing what everyone creates!
Can't wait to join in the fun... my CC2 book is on its way to me!! See you soon!!
I'm in! I just created a blog just to do this challenge :)
I am looking forward to this challenge and all of the inspiring contributions!
