When the Las Vegas Crafters' Guild first started craft challenges back in 2006, they were held about every other month. It was a fun thing! These challenges forced us think outside the box. They required us to utilize different unfamiliar or unusual items such as Easter grass or craft supplies that we had never worked with before.
At our monthly
meeting, members were given the name of the item to be used in their
creation. The completed piece was submitted at the next month’s meeting for
judging. The winning artist received a gift card from Michael’s Craft Store for
$20.00. Just what we need right? More
craft supplies!
Fast forward to
2017. Debbie Williams, Vice President suggested that we start craft challenges again. For this
challenge, scrapbook paper, feathers, beads, jewelry charms, acorns, bullet
casings, ribbon, cigar boxes, empty toilet paper rolls and everything but the kitchen sink were assembled, put into plain brown paper bags and sealed.
