If whiplash isn’t enough and you need to find more…sometimes a challenge can be just the creative inspiration you need to try something new, or just try something. There are lots of them all over the internet – here are a few. They also offer the opportunity to see how others have responded to the same challenge, as most have galleries. You’re not tied as with a swap, but can participate or not according to your own whim and schedule. You may well know some of these – so please add others in the comments:
Photo Friday (weekly)
Illustration Friday(weekly)
Tie one on (aprons) (bimonthly)
Weekly challenges at Craftster
Use what you have month (monthly)
Ali Edwards’ AEzine contains a weekly challenge
Two Peas in a Bucket weekly scrapbooking challenge
Please do suggest other current worthwhile craft challenges you know and recommend in the comments. Maybe you’ve set up a great challenge with crafting friends, and could tell us about it?
