Bingo!

Hello and welcome back to another week and another challenge.

This weeks challenge is set by Denise and is a bingo challenge

The idea is to use the 'elements' that are in a line: either vertical (ie Green, Pearls and Yellow) horizontal (ie Yellow, Dots and Lace) or diagonal (ie Ribbons, Stripes and Yellow)

For a bit of extra fun you can also choose to use the 4 corners or go for the 'full house' which would mean using all the 'elements' on the project.

- The challenge will run until 12 noon (UK time) Sunday 22nd July

- You can enter as many times as you like as long as it is with NEW projects - no backlinking please

- If you have used any products purchased from Crafty Boots add 'CB' after your name to get two entries into the prize draw.

- Entry into this challenge can be combined with as many other challenges as you like

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

- Please link to your blog post not just your general blog address

- If you do not have a blog and want to enter by email please email your photos to admin@craftyboots.co.uk

The entrants to this challenge and our next challenge will be combined and a winner drawn to receive a Kaisercraft house album:
