Back to Basics and Beyond Challenges: July 2018

Welcome to our NEW blog.

We recognise, whilst there are many challenge blogs for all

forms of papercrafts and card making, so why a new one ?

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

new techniques and new skills.

Many seasoned challengers may also enjoy joining in our

challenges to re-awaken long lost skills and techniques., or

just to join in for the fun of it.

Donna
Creative Smiles

My name is Donna Ellis, also known on line as “de” (from my pottery throwing days). Short n Sweet - married to the love of my life in “rural” Central Florida, stamping became my craft of choice as health concerns caused me to give up activities and other crafting mediums. Though I’ve worked in both corporate America and for stamp companies, I also volunteered in a number of capacities. These days it is very rewarding sharing artwork with my on-line friends. I’d love for you to visit my blog Creative Smiles. I promise to visit your blog in return

So time to get started on our new challenge.
