Welcome to Quirky Crafts Challenges

Welcome to Quirky Crafts Challenges the place where any craft project is allowed.

We're a small design team with big inspiration.

On the first Sunday of the month, at 6pm UK time, we will set a new challenge which will close on the 28th of that month at midday. The DT will pick their top three favourites and you could win a prize and join us as a Guest Designer. Winners are posted on the first Sunday in the month (midday usually) before the new challenge - don't forget to come and check if you are a winner.

Challenge 29 - 30th May - Girly Girl

Hi everyone (sorry for the delay), we had some lovely entries for challenge 28 Chocolate and Cream and the winner decided by the design team is: Padster  with her Cheer Me Up Bear card here. Congratulations Debbie, please email your details here. Deanne will get back to you and send you goodies, but is in the middle of a house move and off-line at present so please bear with her!
This week we have a challenge that should appeal to lots of you, Fe's Girlie Girl challenge. So get your girlie stamps, photos, embellishments and papers out and enter our challenge. Mr Linky should appear soon if not here already. Note: I can't do anything about Mr Linky but have added an alternative for this challenge which you can use by clicking on the Inlinkz link button at the bottom of this post and following the instructions. I know we already have some entries by comment which will also be considered.

Here are the Wonderful Design Team's gorgeous examples to inspire you, some of us are not quite finished making our examples (cough - blush) so pop back later and there could be a few more.
