March Theme Challenge Week 2

We've got a fun theme for you this month - we're playing tic-tac-toe!   Just pick a line across the grid below, either vertical, horizontal or diagonal and get creative!   So for example you could create a bright purple watercoloured elephant if you used the top horizontal, or say a big HELLO with bold patterned paper if you pick a diagonal.

As with all our challenges it is important that you use at least one product from the almost 7000 we sell and also that the project you make is inspired by the challenge so links to previously made projects will be rejected.  Qualifying entries will be eligible for our monthly prize which from this month on will be £20!

 

We have a couple more fabulous inspirational entries from our Design Team this week in case you need a kickstart!  They've both gone for a diagonal with animals, big words and die cutting.

Jill

Selected the diagonal line with Animal, Big Words/Letter, & Die-cutting.

Using Wplus9's 'Friends For All Season: Fall', and Lawn Fawn's 'Quinn's abc's: Lower Case'.

Anni

Selected the diagonal line with Animal, Big Words/Letter, & Die-cutting, too.

Using a lot of products by Lawn Fawn: Stamp sets: Elphie Selfie, Plan On It: Birthday and the die called Scripty Happy.

You have until 10pm on Sunday 26th March to play along.

March Sketch Challenge Week 2 Plus February Winners

Are you ready for a little more inspiration from our fabulous Design Team for this months sketch challenge?  Hope you've all got your crafting thinking caps on and are planning to join in the fun.   Here are Jill and Julia with their takes on the sketch.

You can flip the orientation, go layered or one layer, card or layout - whatever you fancy - just show that the sketch was the kick off point and make sure you use at least one product from the vast range we stock to be eligible for the £15 prize.   Deadline is 10pm on Sunday 27th March.

Talking of prizes - I am way overdue announcing the winners from February's Fancy Folds challenges.  After some initial problems, it looks as though everyone who took part enjoyed trying something a little different and we had some stunning entries!

Our winner this month was Sarah H with her fabulous fairy card.  Not only lots of lovely folds but a shaker full of fairy dust to boot!   Great work Sarah - drop me a line and I'll provide you your prize code.

 

Our two runners up this month were Claire and Ruth (Crafting While the Baby Naps)

One great space scene with not just fancy folds but lovely floating bears too!   Then one card full of sunshine showing how fancy folds can be part of the overall design and reveal a surprise inside.

Great work ladies - do take your winners badges for your blogs.
