There have been 5 different challenges set.

Challenge #1

Complete the Sketch Challenge for this month and upload it to the gallery - this needs to be done by Saturday night!!

Challenge #3

Create a LO, card or OTP using a product found in the shop - this might be some of the Kaiser Q1 or Q2 products, some chipboard, some bling - the choice is up to you and your stash!!

Challenge #4
