Good morning CraftyStealers!

Time for another new feature on the CraftySteals Blog! On the third Thursday of each month, we’ll be doing a challenge. No hard and fast rules – sometimes it will be a challenge with a sketch, sometimes a challenge to use something in your stash – we’ll change things up to keep it interesting.

Here’s how it will go:

1. We’ll announce the challenge on Thursday.
2. We’ll leave a linky at the bottom of the post so all of you to upload your pictures for us to ooohh and ahhh over (and get inspired by!).
3. The challenge will run through the weekend.
4. For a little fun, the following Monday we’ll randomly pick one of you to receive some CraftySteals goodies.

What do you think? Ready to get started? Let’s play!

In honor of Valentine’s Day on the horizon, here is a sketch that will work for a layout or a card. No rules other than your creation loosely follows the sketch. Feel free to take creative license and run with it!

Just add your picture to the bottom of the post where it says “Click Here to Enter”. You DO NOT NEED A WEBPAGE or BLOG. You DO need to have your photo hosted online somewhere to link to. Free Flickr or Photobucket accounts will work. Some have also had luck linking to other photo processing sites like Shutterfly or Snapfish as well as linking to Facebook photo albums (made public).

Now…get to work! Can’t wait to see what you all come up with.
