Butterflies Mid Challenge Reminder

Welcome back to another Mid Challenge Reminder. The theme of the current Crafty Boots Challenge is 'Butterflies'.

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce two very talented ladies today, they won our recent 'Stars' challenge and very generously agreed to be our Guest Designers this week. Please make time to visit their blogs, you will not be disappointed.

Jane

"My name is Jane of Jane's Journal, I live in Surrey in the UK and I have been a "make and do girl" from the time I could hold a pencil or paint brush. I kept scrap books as a child long before the term "scrap booking" was used. I work part time for the NHS as a physiotherapist and I craft in what little spare time I have. My family is the most important thing in my life and our newest addition is our 14 month old gorgeous granddaughter, Daisy Jane. I am also a silver smith, jewellery maker, keen photographer and gardener but paper crafting is my real passion at the moment. I love getting inky hands in my garden studio (when it is warm enough to work outside). Recently I have been dabbling in mixed media and I like to learn and explore new products, ideas and techniques. I have been blogging for over 4 years and I treasure the friendships I have found with fellow crafters the world over. I share my blog space with our great cat, Billy, who often features there".



"My name is Sandra. I´m 35 years old and I live in the middle of Sweden with my husband and our four children. I work as a nurse at an orthopedic unit since 2001.

I LOVE paper crafting and started with scrapbooking in 2005. Now a days, I mostly make cards and alter things. My favorite part is to color and I am a true ProMarker addict :) I love embellishments like lace, pearls and flowers - and I prefer a LOT of them :)

Making a CAS card is a big challenge for me *lol*"


We are also offering Guest Designer spots to the winner and 2 runners up of our current challenge so don't forget to enter your projects.

We have some more fabulous inspirational projects from our lovely Design Team.

Out with the Old and In with the New Mid Challenge Reminder

We are back today with our Mid Challenge Reminder for the current 'Out with the old and in With the New' Challenge and to introduce you to one of our recent Challenge winners.

Neva

  " My name is Neva. I live in a small European country, called Slovenia. I’m the mother of two wonderful children (19 years, 33 years) and the grandmother of mischievous 8 years grandchild. I ‘m an employer in the company, where we perform the social service of guiding, protection and employment under the special conditions for adult people with mental disabilities. I share my love for the manufacture of paper craft with them. I started to make greeting cards two years ago. I really enjoy to make the digital stamp paints by Copic markers. In my free time I’m an enthusiastic mountain high hiker. I would like to thank Crafty Boots for the invitation to be GDT. I am so happy.

With love, Neva"



Please make the time to visit Neva's blog, I am sure you will not be disappointed.

We are also offering Guest Designer spots to the winner and 2 runners up of our current challenge so don't forget to enter your projects.  We have some more fabulous projects from our lovely Design Team to give you a few ideas.

Out with the Old and In with the New

Greetings and a Happy New Year from the Crafty Boots Challenges Design Team.  We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you all of very happy, safe and healthy 2015.

Design Team Member Lisette is hosting our first Challenge of the year and her challenge to all of us is to use something new.  This would be a great opportunity to use something you got for Christmas, or something you have gifted yourself in the sales, or perhaps something you have had for a while but never used before.  It could even be a new technique you have never tried before.  You may like to team it up with some of the old stuff from your stash or you could go for something totally new, it is really up to you.

Here are a few inspirational ideas from our fabulous Design Team:
