Are you ready for a new crafty challenge? We have a great one for you this month that we know you are going to love!
Our September 2013 challenge is: Embossing
We’d really love for you to play along with us! Simply make a project – a card, a scrapbook page, a box, a bag, a tag, a bookmark, a bit of home decor, an altered journal….anything that has embossing on it!
And we have a VERY exciting announcement this month! Have you always wanted to be part of our team? This month we’re doing something a little special, and our design team will be choosing TWO lucky people to be our Challenge Team guest for October, November, and December! You will receive a package of goodies from either Crafter’s Companion UK or Crafter’s Companion USA (we will be choosing one person from the UK/Europe, and one from the USA) and have your work showcased here on our blog for three months (you will make one card per month).
How do you enter? It’s easy! Just play along with us this month no later than 25th September 2013. There is no limit to how many projects you can link up to showcase your work (just make sure it is a new project, created for this month’s challenge). We will contact the chosen guests no later than 30th September, and announce them here on the blog on 1st October, with the next monthly challenge!
After you take a peek at the wonderful inspiration some of our designers from the UK are sharing today, please take a minute to read through the guidelines for playing along with out challenge at the end of this post. We want you to be eligible for our fabulous prizes!
