Hello friends
A few days ago I happened to mention that Spellbinders are running a competition...
today I thought I would explain it in a little more detail because it isn't any ordinary competition -
it is super special!

Firstly - it is the BIGGEST contest they've ever hosted to date!
and it gives you a chance of winning $5,000 Grand Prize Package from Spellbinders and
their cross promotional
partners.
They are also going to be choosing a 2nd place winner to receive a $1,000 prize
package and a
$500 3rd place prize package.
This means not only will you receive Spellbinders products but also products
That is some serious crafty stuff to play with!
How do you
participate? It's easy!
Simply create an
original project using at least two (2) Spellbinders dies.
Be creative, dabble with something different - push your own creative boundaries.
They are looking
for crafters and artists who have really taken on the challenge to truly
"Explore Beyond".
You need to take photos of
each step of your project - this is because if you are chosen as a finalist you will be asked to submit
these photos.
Submit a photo
(of your finished project only!) to the appropriate Spellbinders Flickr Group.

I appreciate that was a lot to read and we are all very busy as we hurtle towards Christmas,
but if you can take some time out to do a little crafting then have a go at entering.
Perhaps you are heading off to a craft group today, get everyone to have a go!
I would be over the moon if any of the winners come from the UK!
I'm back tomorrow.
Take care.
