April Challenge: Swatch It Up!


Hello and Welcome to April
and of course a brand new Kraft Plus Challenge to hopefully inspire you!

Before we reveal the April challenge..
a HUGE thank you to those of you who played along with the
March Denim Revolution Challenge.
You helped make it a FUN and INSPIRING challenge.
And a special thank you to those who showed extra commitment by
cutting up their jeans, dresses, shorts etc..
and also those who shared the before and after pics
(some of them quite cheeky;) )
The winners will be chosen and revealed soon ;)

But now for the April Challenge.
This month we challenge you to
Swatch it Up!
That's right.. use paint swatches
(or chips or samples as some people call them)
on your creations...

There are so many options on how to use paint chips!


Criteria: Kraft + Paint Swatches

We welcome all kinds of craft as entries for our challenges, from traditional layout, cards, digital layouts, art journalling and tags etc. but please remember that it is all about the Kraft!!Your work MUST be on a KRAFT BACKGROUND (not merely mounted on Kraft) to be eligible.

**Please take the time to read the RULES before submitting your entry**
and upload your entry via the inlinkz section in our side bar.

(Due date: Midnight April 30th  )
