The winner of the Christmas challenge is Snaggles for the cutest cross stitched tree decoratons.  Congratulations Phillipa! You win the lovely book of Papercraft Projects. 

All the entries were terrific - and I am not just saying that!  It was truly difficult to pick from them all but special mention must go to Copse, UltraMum, Golden Hippie, Aimee and Heather. 

Watch this space for news of the next challenge!

A huge thanks to all who entered the fairy challenge!  Now on to challenge 2, which by popular vote on the CB forum is Christmas.  This should encourage you to get cracking on those Christmas cards and items!  Your entry can be a card or any type of craft item you have made but it should be made with this challenge in mind.   I am really looking forward to seeing your entries so don't be shy :-)  The prize for this challenge is a fabulous book which would please any craft lover, and is packed with inspiring ideas. 

Hope you have lots of fun making your design. If posting your make on your blog then please post a link to your entry in the comments section or email it to me at info@pollycrafts.com

The winner of the fairy challenge is Glitzzy! 

This fairy card is so delighfully sparkly; the colours are just fabulous and the little pin is a really great finishing touch.  Well done Maureen, the Fiskar's bow maker will be winging it's way to you shortly. 

That's not all though! As there were so many lovely cards entered, it was a tremendously difficult job to choose just one winner so I am going to offer a wee gift to two of the other entries as well.  

These are for Natalie from Natalie's World of Sparkling Unique Cards

and for Karen at Creations by Copse .  Well done ladies.   All the entries are so lovely and ever single one deserving of a prize.  I am just sorry that I cannot send prizes to everyone.  

There is a new challenge coming soon - watch this space! 

Welcome to the first PollyCrafts challenge.  The theme for this first challenge is fairies and as a thank you for taking part the prize will be a Fiskar's BowMaker which will come in very handy for all sorts of occasions (not to mention Christmas which is getting nearer by the week!)   

You can use one of the free fairy images in the the download section or anything fairy that you have already.  Your entry can be anything that is fairy related, and I cannot wait to see what you come up with.  Hope you have lots of fun making your design. Please post a link to your entry in the comments section or email it to me at info@pollycrafts.com 

There's no set closing date for this first challenge as I know that a lot of you are busy with other challenges, swaps and projects so will just wait til we have a decent amount of entries. 

 Good luck and happy crafting!
