FEBRUARY CHALLENGE - "LOVE"


Hi Everyone

Well a whole month of 2010 has flown by and
By the Cute and Girly is here with another challenge.

Our thanks go to everyone who took part in Debby's challenge last month. There were some really beautiful entries. Please be sure to check back to see if you were one of our winners.

This month it is my turn (Jules) to set the challenge and I have chosen the theme of

"LOVE"

and this can be interpreted in what ever way you like.

It could be connected to our love for our family, friends or someone special.

It could be connected to the many ways in which we celebrate love .. .. .. as in engagements, weddings, anniversaries and valentines.

It could be words of love or tokens of love or even using what you love most in your craft stash. So many options are open to you and the above are only suggestions.

But remember it doesn't have to be just papercraft. The challenge is open to any type of craft.


We have three great sponsors this month:

Joanna Sheen .. .. .. .. £10 voucher

Simon Says Stamp .. .. .. .. $20 voucher and free p&p

Capture the Magic .. .. .. .. £10 to spend on line



To give you some inspiration here are all the wonderful projects
the DT have been working hard to create:

Brenda






Juls







Beryl

So there we go .. .. .. now it is your turn.
