Challenges

The challenges on our blog will run every 2 weeks in a random drawing, we are trying to keep it nice and simple which makes it that much easier for everyone taking part, plus it also means that you can combine your creations with other challenge blogs much easier :)

We have taken the decision to limit entries to 3 per person.   Your entries must be new creations and not backlinked.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taking Part
Participants must make sure to have their creations linked in the Mr Linky/In Linkz or emailed to us (Non blog owners only) by 11.00pm (UK Time) on the Friday before the next challenge is set, To make things easier a deadline date will be posted with each new challenge, Entries posted in the comments will not count, so please be sure to link via Mr Linky, also be sure to link to the blog post containing your entry and NOT just your blog as this makes it so much easier for us to find your creations.

Please Note

Please note that even though we really appreciate you taking the time to enter our challenges, And we love to visit all of your blogs , We unfortunately cannot promise to leave comments (although we will do our very best to try), as to be truthful this would take forever, we feel that crafting and blogging should be fun and not a chore, and if we spend all of our time commenting then that takes away valuable time that we could be using to craft and get on with day to day life, we do hope that you understand our reasons for this and we our sorry if this offends anyone in anyway

Thank you
