Week 1 - The Challenge Begins





If you haven't already done it, now is the time to start rummaging through your stash to see what you have that you can use, you could even have a declutter as you go.  Remember, once the challenge starts there must be no more crafty stash orders, apart from bare essentials, placed until the end of the challenge on 26 November. 

In case of emergency and temptation strikes, just take a very deep breath, grit your teeth and think of the money you will be saving!


Over to you now, the challenge has begun so time to get crafting.

Welcome to The 3-Month Craft Challenge

Members of the CCDCU Facebook Group have been given a 3-Month Challenge not to buy any more new items for their craft stash and only use the crafty goodies that they already have.  You all know the ones I mean: the ones that you really, really "needed" about 3 (or more) years ago but now languish at the back of a cupboard or at the bottom of a drawer since you bought them.  There may even be some stash lying long-forgotten since you last clapped eyes on it when you put it in the attic pre-millennium because it may come in useful one day!

The challenge will begin on Monday 27 August 2018 and will last for 3 months until Monday 26 November 2018.

Any craft can be used, be it card making, mixed media, sewing, knitting, jewellery absolutely anything you can make something with from your stash is fair game.

Only items purchased no later than Sunday 26 August 2018 can be used, although if you need basic essentials like glue, tape or thread that's ok.

Just think, this could be the time to start those C*******s cards and presents - think of the money you could save to make personal pressies for friends and loved ones.

I will be using the InLinz tool to allow participants to add their pictures. Images can be added from your phone/pc, linked to your personal blog or a picture sharing site like Instagram or Pinterest.


A new link will be published every week so you can show what you've made in the previous 7 days.

I have added a practice link on this page so you can get yourselves familiar with it.  Any problems, please give me a shout:


1.  Use if image on blog































2.  Use if uploading from your computer or phone






3.  Use to upload from Pinterest.
