Bowtastic/Anything Goes!

Hello and welcome back to another week at Crafty Boots Challenges! 

We hope you enjoyed the sunny weekend!!

We have a few announcements to make today so bear with us on this post!!


First of all we would like to thank everyone who entered our Design Team call. We have four new design team members to introduce you to and they are:

Bev

Freya

Helen

Sandra

We are so excited to have these ladies joining our team!  The call only closed on Friday so you will start seeing their work on the next challenge (although you might spot one piece from a newbie below!).  Please pop by their blogs and check out their fabulous work!

We have had a lot of new stock in the last two weeks so head by the shop and check it out.  We are also having a giveaway on our shop blog (http://craftyboots.com) to win a Some Odd Girl stamp - head on over and check it out!

This fortnight's challenge is a multi-element challenge and you can pick which elements you would like to follow:

The challenge is ANYTHING GOES, but you can have extra entries into the prize draw if you include any of these two elements:

- BOWTASTIC (feature bow/bows of some sort)

- Use any digital stamp from Crafty Boots (click here to see them)
(this includes the free digi offered below!)

If you include one of these (either bowtastic or a digital stamp from Crafty Boots) then please put (2) after your entry as you will receive 2 entries into the prize draw.

If you include both bowtastic and a digital stamp from Crafty Boots then please put (3) after your entry as you will receive 3 entries into the prize draw.

One entry will be chosen at random from this challenge to win a Pan Pastels trial kit which includes two colours of Pan Pastel and a variety of applicator tools!

To help you with this challenge here is a free digital stamp for you from the Daffy Digis @ Crafty Boots range:

As always the challenge will run for two weeks closing at 12 Noon on Sunday 10th June.

You can enter as many times as you like as long as they are new projects (no backlinking).

Entry to this challenge can be combined with any number of other challenges.

Your blog post must mention that you are entering this challenge and include a link back to this blog.

Please link to your actual blog entry rather than just your general blog address.

Design team call!

Crafty Boots is looking to extend our design team!!

If you are interested please carry on reading and see if this sounds like the team for you!!!

- Unfortunately this call is open to crafters in the United Kingdom only.
- You MUST have a blog or if you don't have a blog be willing to set one up

What's in it for me?:


- 10% discount on any items from the Crafty Boots shop
- Opportunity to purchase other craft supplies (i.e. items that we do not stock) which we will source from our suppliers for you at heavily discounted prices
- Links to your blog from our blog, challenge site and have your work featured on both sites and at times on our shop site.
