2013 TCN February Craft Challenge ~ Winter Blues ~ Please Vote

THANK YOU, VOTING HAS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS CRAFT CHALLENGE ~ ANY VOTES MADE AFTER 12 MIDNIGHT (GMT) ON 27th FEB, WILL NOT BE COUNTED. THE WINNER AND RUNNERS UP WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON THE 28th FEB @ 8PM.

Hello and welcome to this our first official craft challenge for 2013, this months theme was ‘Winter Blues’ and we were looking for any type of handmade craft inspired by this theme.  This could include items using Blue tones or taking ‘Winter’ as their inspiration, as always I like to keep the theme as flexible as possible to allow everyone to use their own creativity.  The second part of the challenge was for everyone to consider how they photographed their entries and what they wrote about them, to sell them to you and me.

So please take a look at all the entries, each photograph includes a description of their item if it has been included, I have also included url links to their Facebook/on-line store/websites, but you will have to copy and paste these into your browser if you want to visit them (apologies for this).  Once you have had a look at them all, I do hope you will then take the time to vote for your favourites it would be very much appreciated by all those who have entered, details on how to vote are below. 

Thank you to everyone for entering and supporting these challenges and thank you in advance to everyone who takes the time to look and vote.
