Use a Sentiment Mid Challenge Reminder

Monday morning again, where do the weeks go to?  For most schools in around here it was half term last week but most of the children will be back to school today and you will be able to get back to your routines and into your craft room.

We are back today with the 'Use a Sentiment' Mid Challenge Reminder and our Design Team has been busy making a few inspirational pieces for you.

Hearts and Valentines Mid Challenge Reminder

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

Three lucky winner of this Challenge will get to be featured in a future challenge as a Guest Designers. Sue and Debs did just this when they won our recent Christmas Challenge. They are both talented designers, but don't take our word for it, please make time to visit their blogs and see for yourself.


Hi, I'm Sue and I live in the UK and have been crafting for about 7 years.  I mainly make cards, but dabble in scrapbooking and sewing as well - it's my time to relax after a busy day at work! I am delighted to have been asked to join the Crafty Boots team as a Guest Designer for their 'Hearts and Valentines' challenge

Debs

   Hi, I’m Debbie, Mum to 3 boys Jamie, Aaron & Jack and Grandma to Oliver, Lola and Ruby. 

I never considered myself to be very artistic and then I discovered scrapbooking about 7-8 years ago when I stopped smoking and wanted something to do in the evenings. I saw a craft programme on TV, ordered the kit, bought a few more things, stored them in 3 stacking boxes, crafted at the kitchen table, bought more stash, discovered stamping and card making (quicker end result than scrapbooking) moved into the dining room, acquired a set of craft drawers, bought even more stash and now have my own little crafty haven full to bursting but very loved and visited practically every day. I have had my blog nearly 6 years now and I am lucky enough to be on some wonderful Design Teams. I have also recently been lucky enough to start designing for Papercraft Inspirations – a crafter’s dream come true.

I am truly blessed to have made a number of wonderful friends through crafting and blogging and hope it continues.

Hearts and Valentines

Hello and welcome to another challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges.

Here in the UK we are feeling a little more obsessive about the weather than usual.  In the past week or so we have had virtually everything it has to offer except heat, we have had snow, hail stones, torrential rain, high winds and bright sunshine.  What we all need is a craft pick me up, retreat to your favourite crafting space and get creative.

We have a new Challenge starting today, 'Hearts and Valentine's'.  Dial up your romantic side and share with us your St Valentine's Day project, your anniversary or wedding day projects.

Our talented Design Team have been busy.
