Challenge #1 Nautic

Welcome to Live & Love Crafts' 1st Challenge!!!

We're so glad you stopped by and we do hope that you'll join us for our first challenge.
We've got the perfect summer theme for you; Nautic.

For our challenge you can create whatever you heart desires as long as it fits the theme; scrapbook layouts, cards, tags, gift boxes, paper bags, altered items...whatever floats your boat!
(hehe; that was clever of me, wasn't it?! :-))
Also; if you're a stamper you don't have to use any of the stamp brands Live & Love Crafts is reselling, i.e. Bildmalarna & Magnolia, you can use whatever image you like!

Our challenge is open to Crafters Worldwide.

We only have a few teeny-weeny rules that we ask you to please respect:
Only one entry per person and challenge
Your submission must be a new creation
(i.e. not posted prior to this challenge going live)
You may combine our challenge with a maximum of 9 other challenges (10 in total).


The DT will be choosing a TOP 3, and one participant who will be invited to guest design for the September challenge. Furthermore; one lucky winner will be able to go on a shopping spree at the Live & Love Crafts' Store as the prize is a:
