26 Things - Flat Scavenger Hunt (date extended)

Do you love a good scavenger hunt? Do you love to rip up magazines? Do you haunt second hand stores and flea markets? Do you love collage, altered books, scrapbooking, journaling? The you'll love this creative exercise!

This is a flat mailing and international. Open to every creative soul, willing to go the extra miles to make it fun.

You will have one partner and will need to collect the following 26 things or images representing the word. You can have one wild card - which means you can substitute something else if you are stuck or pass on the letter altogether. If you do this, insert an old playing card to represent your pass! Please remember to keep things as flat as possible.

Have fun!
