We hope to reach newbies, to provide  new challenges where you can learn

challenges to re-awaken long lost skills and techniques., or
just to join in for the fun of it.

  3. It’s lovely to see a new challenge and I wish you lots of luck with it. It’s also great to see a challenge that goes back to basics as there are always new people starting out in the crafting world, and it’s easy to forget where we all started and that we didn’t always know then, what we know now. Great idea for all and I hope to join you soon x

  11. Good luck with your new challenge blog and a great idea too! Just a suggestion, put your followers bar at the top so people will find it easier to follow as in my experience, they wont scroll through to find it and it would be a shame. Good Luck :)

  15. Good luck with the new challenge and some beautiful inspiration from your DT. It is a great idea to think of new crafters who will get lots of help and inspiration to set them on their cardmaking journey. When you have been doing it for a while this seems to get forgotten, but we all need to go back to basics sometimes. x
