Autumn is in the Air

Autumn (or Fall) has officially arrived and looking out I am reminded of a passage from Gerald Durrell's autobiography, 'My Family and Other Animals'.

“The gold and scarlet leaves that littered the countryside in great drifts whispered and chuckled among themselves, or took experimental runs from place to place, rolling like coloured hoops among the trees. It was as if they were practising something, preparing for something, and they would discuss it excitedly in rustly voices as they crowded round the tree trunks.”

Our challenge for the next two weeks is all about this season with it's wealth of colours and textures.  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, or an inchie.

Our Design Team have come up with a few ideas to give you an idea of the sort of thing they had in mind.

 We should like to give you the opportunity to join in the fun at Crafty Boots Challenges and, therefore, we are offering guest design team spots to the winner and two runners up of this challenge.

This challenge will remain open until 12 Noon on Sunday, 9 October. There are very few rules to our Challenges but, if you would like to read them for yourself, you will find them here.

We are looking forward to seeing your projects, good luck.
