Playing Guidelines

We are a monthly all-crafts challenge blog and we welcome all kinds of handmade creations. We'd love to see your cards, tags, ATCs and scrapbook layouts, as well as 3-D projects, mixed media and altered projects - and even knitting, crocheting, quilting and jewelry-making. :)

Our challenges currently go live at 4:00 AM Mountain Time on the 10th of every month, and end at 4:00 PM Mountain Time on the 9th of the following month. 
Please note that beginning April 2024, our challenges will start at 4:00 AM Mountain Time on the 15th of the month and close at 4:00 PM Mountain Time on the 10th of the following month. 

Our winners are randomly chosen to give everyone an equal chance of winning, and our top picks are chosen on merit. Our winners and top picks are announced on the 10th of the month along with details of the new challenge. 

We do not solicit sponsorship so there are no prizes. We play for fun, and Winner and Top Pick badges are available to random winners and chosen top picks. 

You may enter up to EIGHT different projects in our challenges and you may combine our challenges with as many others as you wish. 

Please link your specific project post - not your entire blog - to our challenge 
via the link-up tool at the end of the challenge post. 
If you do not see the link-up tool, refresh your browser and/or clear your cache. If the link-up tool happens to be down, it is your responsibility to come back at a later time to link up your project. Leaving your link in a comment does not guarantee that your project will be seen. 

No back-linking. Your project must be new and never posted to your blog or other social media prior to the start date of our challenge. 

No digitally-created projects. 
Digital images can be printed and colored but they have to be used on a tangible handmade project (same with digital sentiments).
