Craft Barn Competition……

The Craft Barn Competition is now up and running  on the blog - it continues for the next 3 weeks and will help you to create a mini album using sketches designed by Isabelle, there will be samples for each page done by Isa, Chris, Poupette  and Sandy from The Craft BArn Blog DT. Join in and as well as making a mini album you can also win £30 of products.  Here is a little wotsit that you can put on your blog if you want to play along. OOh just think of all that lovely stash available to win!!

 

Here are the rules:

HOW DO I ENTER?

All you have to do is to make your own mini album following the sketches:
9 sketches in all
- 1 for the front cover (today)
- 8 more for the inner pages
- no sketch for the back cover. This will be up to you.
You can post your pages on your blog everyday, as you go along, or you can wait until you have made the whole mini album and post it on your blog then.
Whichever way you do it, the link you will give us (by May 15th) will have to be a post on your blog where we can see the **whole mini album** in one click. It will be much easier for us to check all the entries.

HOW TO USE THE SKETCHES?

Use the sketches as a 'starting point' for your pages. You can add more embellishments if you want, turn a photo if it looks nicer, use rub-ons instead of stamps for the backgrounds...  As long as each page looks like the sketch, it will work.
--

We don't want you to miss out if you don't have a blog so you can still enter the competition without a blog but please follow these guidelines otherwise Isabelle will lose the will to live!

1. Send  ONE EMAIL with ALL pictures once you have completed your album to competition@thecraftbarn.com.  The subject of the email should be: Craft Barn competition + name - eg: Craft Barn competition-Fiona Smith
2/ Each picture must have the name of the person and page number, like "fionasmith-page 1" "fionasmith-page 2".
Pictures sent without the name and number can't be entered in the draw because we won't necessarily know whose are whose.
3/ The pictures we receive will be published online through a gallery managed by the Craft Barn.

Give it a go and you could win that lovely voucher!
