Hi Mini Challenge lovers! Welcome to this month's shiny Mini Challenge!
  
      Word inspiration: Add the word SHINE on your mini projects. We need to see the actual word SHINE on your postcards, cards, tags and ATCs. 
    
   HOW TO ENTER:  You can enter our Mini Challenge in our private  Art Cafe Facebook Group where you can now enter your project in the relevant album. Please
    make sure to add your project to the album so that we don't miss it when it
    comes to picking our winners!  
  Or, you can enter on Instagram by tagging us and using the
    hashtags: #mtwminishine and #mtwminichallenge.  
   
 
  
    
        
          As mentioned last month, we are excited to announce the latest issue
          of our new magazine - Artful Pages - which is a new
          way of looking at our challenges and inspiration, as well as being
          able to add more value for our readers which we are not able to do in
          our current formats.  Our latest issue is now available to flick
          through online just like a real magazine.  The magazine contains
          more about our challenges this month, plus DT inspiration, Guest
          Designer interviews, studio spaces and more!  Check it out and
          see for yourself - we would love your feedback!

          Elle says:  Shine tag for December Mini, I used a napkin for this one and then diecut the SHINE letters out and backed them with some white glitter card. I added some greenery using a Tim Holtz/Sizzix die and added some berries and a pom pom ribbon.

            Heather says:  I used a quote from a song for my SHINE inspiration (an approximate one anyway!). In keeping with the theme I added a peacock feather to the top of the tag instead of the usual ribbon. I hope you'll join us this month!
