New SPRING Challenges!

Don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to turn in an entry for the March challenge! With the end of our March challenge, we will be starting a new challenge series for Spring! Here are the details...

Join us in a 14 week long challenge series. All you have to do is make a paper craft project once a week using the prompt we will provide on this blog. Post it to an online gallery (such as twopeasinabucket or your own blog) and then leave a comment on this blog and link us to your post - we'd love to see what you made! Save your projects, because for those who complete all 14 weeks and bring their completed set of projects to Keepsakes by Design by June 30th to put on display we will have a special prize package. Also, just to get you going on this, you get 15% off any products you buy at Keepsakes by Design for use in your challenge projects - be sure to let us know which challenge you are purchasing for and what your project is going to be. We love hearing about all your beautiful crafting adventures!

Our first challenge is... The Signs of Spring!

Yesterday Spring arrived in Bozeman wrapped in a thick white blanket. Take the time to think about or even get out and see some of the signs of spring. It make take a little hunting for some of you. Or, it may be something so obvious we almost take it for granted. You may see Spring's arrival in nature, or in your mail box, or on your calendar, or in a certain product you can now find in the store. This weeks challenge is to tell us how and where you see "A Sign of Spring." We can't wait to see your projects!

March Challenge!

One of the new features on our blog will be a monthly challenge! Using the parameters we give you, you'll have about 3 weeks to create an original project for the challenge. Bring it into the store and we will display it there and on the blog. The last week of the month people can stop by the store or blog to vote for their favorite project. The winner will receive a prize! And that's how it works. So to kick things off, here is your first challenge...

Create an original layout or card using OVERLAYS!

There are lots of different overlays and transparencies out there - Keepsakes has some of my favorites from Hambly and the Narratives line. Use one of those or pick up a clear transparency and make your own! Have fun, play, and don't forget to drop your project off at Keepsakes for a chance to win the prize! (Please label the back of your project to ensure its safe return!)

You have through Saturday, March 22nd to turn in your layout or card to Keepsakes. Voting will take place March 24-29 and the winner will be announced on Monday, March 31st!
