THANKS for all your awesome entries for the August challenges. We had 63 projects submitted and a quarter were from new entrants! Welcome to the Artfull Crafts blog challenges.

This month's theme was "Anything Goes" and we had 2 sketches kindly provided by Sketches in Thyme. We have set up a new COMPETITION GALLERY - which makes viewing the projects easier AND from September onwards you'll be able to load your own projects up into the Gallery without emailing them to us. Now that's going to be great!

To celebrate the new Gallery launch, we thought we'd give away some MORE stuff! Liz has a new Kaisercraft Mint Twist Paper Pad and set of Twig and Berry stamps to give away to two lucky commenters. So head to the Gallery and leave a kind word or two for the entrants. While you are there, go and check out the Design Team projects and comment on your fav projects to go into a different draw for each person! Soooo many prizes to be won this week. Winners will be announced on Friday 7th Sept.

Please note: There is a slight problem with arrowing through the projects (on the final Gallery page) that we are working on - but it doesn't affect your ability to view and comment on the projects. 

Now let's look at the projects we received this month. The winners are announced at the end...

Runner Up for Overall Challenge Winner is Michelle Henderson with this Anything Goes layout. The dog is calling, "Pick me!!"

Overall "Anything Goes" challenge winner is Michelle Frisby with this super birdcage album. I'd would love one of these on the wall to inspire me!


Could all winners please email info@artfullcrafts.co.nz and let the girls know your address and which category you won and they will organise the prizes to be sent out to you!

Many thanks to all the entrants. Don't forget to check out the new challenge tomorrow...
