Back to Basics and Beyond Challenges: August 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.
