Challenge 38: Spyder's Quirky Sketch

Hi Peoples! It's Challenge Time again here on the Quirky Crafts Blog, and this time we have a sketch by little ol' me!! Spyder, aka Lyn. It's nice and easy so we look forward to seeing Hundreds of entries!! We'd love to see any form of altered art, scrapbook pages, ATC's, Tags, as well as cards of course. Feel free to rotate the sketch, add bits, invert it or use it in any way you wish, change the circles to squares if you wish, just so long as we can still see the sketch within your work. We also have a fabulous guest designer on the team this week, Kelly who won Challenge #36 with a lovely Snowman Christmas Card! Well done Kelly, we love your GDT Forever Friends Christmas Card even more!

Sadly Anne, Chocolate Fudge Cake, has decided to leave us but has promised to join in with our challenges whenever she can. We will miss you Anne, Big hugs and Good Luck in everything you do!
So who won last weeks challenge? Oh it was sooo hard to decide! They were all lovely and it was a very hard challenge, so me myself and I have (and the other DT members of course) decided that all of you have won, all four of you!
Congratulations everyone, would you please take a winners banner from the side bar, to display on your blog. This also means, we would love you all, to join us as Guest Designers sometime over the next few weeks!

Important Announcement about closing dates

The Design Team have decided that in order to be able to decide and announce the winner a little sooner, hopefully before the next challenge is posted, that we need to close challenges one day earlier.

Therefore all entries must be in by 18:00 GMT the Saturday evening before the next challenge begins (Sunday) which still gives everyone 13 days to come and join in.

Hugs,

The Quirky Crafts Challenge Design Team.
