For this month challenge I have made a birthday card for my colleague who is soccer mad. I used Prima All Star papers, some paper scraps, die cuts, brads, stamping and crackle paint. 

Next week we will do another reveal so be sure to come back then :)

To see more photos and details on each of the projects, just visit the blogs! Why not give the challenge a go? 

We would love for you to join in our challenge, remember anything that encourages, motivates or promotes your creativity, if it has circles on it, we would LOVE to see it ;) Our challenges start the first Friday of the month, and end the last day of the month (so this month's deadline is Tuesday 30th September)

We are pretty easy going about rules, but if you'd like, read this page.

Marleen has stepped down from Craft for the Craic DT. :( We will all miss her, but wish her well in her adventure ahead. If you would like to join out DT, we have a DT call at the minute. You can read more here or else email me at the address on the left.
