'Picture' Challenge

Crafty Boots Challenges has been been going for many years and every other week we try to challenge you with a different and exciting idea. In all of those years we have never had a picture challenge and we think it is time we rectified this.


The idea of the picture challenge is to use one or more element from the photograph to inspire your project. It could be the colours, sunsets, poppies, fields, that amazing sky, in fact, anything from the photograph. You can use any materials you like to make anything you like, for example, a card, a box top, a gift bag, a scrapbook page, an ATC, an inchie. It is entirely up to you how you choose to interpret the the photograph.

As always, our fabulous Design Team have been busy doing just that and here are a few projects to inspire you:

We should like to give you the opportunity to join in the fun at Crafty Boots Challenges and, therefore, we are offering guest design team spots to the winner and two runners up of this challenge.

This challenge will remain open until 12 Noon on Sunday, 31 July. There are very few rules but, if you would like to read them for yourself, you will find them here.

We are looking forward to seeing your projects, have fun and good luck.
