Ribbon or Lace Mid Challenge Reminder

Welcome back to Crafty Boots Challenges, where it is time for our mid challenge reminder. Our current challenge is 'Ribbon or Lace'. We have had some fabulous entries for this challenge and, as always, the Design Team are really enjoying seeing them.

The winners of this Challenge will be given the opportunity to be featured in a future challenge as a Guest Designers. Lisa won our recent 'Spots or Dots' Challenge, as you can see Lisa is a very talented card maker. Pop over to her blog to see more of her lovely work.

Lisa

I have been crafting since 1991. I started out learning 3D decoupage and made mainly pictures. There was no die cutting in those days so I used to cut out each layer with a craft knife, one picture took me 22 hours! I played around a bit with rubber stamping and colouring, but found that the lack of tools available back then hindered a good result. A few years ago I discovered die cuts and chalk. Then I met a lovely lady who introduced me to Promarkers and the wonderful world of Digi Stamps and encouraged me to have another go at colouring. I have never looked back. I love colouring both digi and rubber stamps and experimenting with colours.

The fabulous ladies from our Design Team have also been busy this week ......

Ribbon or Lace

Wow, we have had such a fantastic start to the New Year, so many gorgeous entries for the last challenge.  It was great to all of your old and new projects.

A new challenge starts today, the title of which is 'Ribbon or Lace'.  We challenge you to use either ribbon or lace in your project - or both is you prefer.  As always with our challenges, you can use any materials you like, to make anything you like, for example, a card, a box top, a gift bag, a scrapbook page, an ATC, an inchie, etc.  It is entirely up to you how you choose to interpret the theme.

Our ever industrious ladies have of course been busy making projects to inspire you:
