Try this!

Hi all - it's Penny here to tell you about a fabulous new challenge we're introducing here at SUYS!!

The one thing we all have in common is our love of HANDMADE and this new challenge is about discovering gorgeous ideas we can incorporate into our pages.

This is how it works.......each month I'll be bringing you a FEATURED TECHNIQUE to create a handmade item. Use that item on your challenge entries and you will go into the draw to win a fantastic prize! (If you enter both Challenge #1 and #2 in the month and the featured technique appears on both, you get 2 chances in the draw.)

Remember, it is not compulsory at all to use the featured technique - it is simply an additional chance to win some great prizes, increase your handmade skills and get that mojo flowing!

Are you up for it? Okay then - here's our first TRY THIS technique.......

PAPER BEADS

 

I found this sweet technique on the blog of our lovely DT Samantha Hauzer......HERE
I followed Sam's nice easy instructions to make a family of butterflies, but really.....you could turn your beads into anything you like!

Stay tuned for our Challenge #1 announcement and start thinking about how you could add some paper beads to your entries this month. You could be in the running to win a Paper Inklings prize pack.

Look forward to seeing your creations!

HI EVERYONE JUNE WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK

Hi everyone, Marelle here, I apologise for the delay in announcing winners for June, they will be announced on Monday after I return from Camp Mojo retreat!
Kerry is going to take a short break to get her health in check, we all send her our love and hope she is soon feeling much better. I will be running SUYS while Kerry takes some time out. We all know as Mothers we need our health to be tip top in order to juggle thousands of balls in the air without dropping one!! Rest up Kerry, and your team at SUYS will do you proud!!

Keep an eye out for our August Challenges - they will really inspire you, and thanks for being such a supportive group of creative crafters and following us here.

Over and out for tonight - see you on the flipside after Camp Mojo!!

Hugs

Marelle

Hi everyone, just thought i would pop on and let you all know what is going on. Due to some health and personal problems i am very unorganised this month and have decided to postpone the challenges to next month. I hope that you understand and will be back for next months challenges as well as an added surprise!!!

Thankyou
Kerry xx
