HQFCB or former TFATU #7.5 Reminder Notice on 20 July 2024

 We at HQFCB/TFATU are hoping your dreams and wishes are coming true! 

It's close to the midway point of the 7th competition ending on July 31st so DT Granmargaret and I are bringing some more magical inspiration to tantalize your creative mojo! 

Come and join our 'always anything fantasy goes' theme competition. Bragging rights are possible. Starting in 2023, the winner will be offered an invite to be a Guest Designer in the following month's competition. And then there are a minimum of Top 3. If there are 41+ entries, there will be a Top 5 which gives a couple of more crafters a chance at bragging rights. 

In 2024,we're also starting a new monthly fantasy focus option and will have a best pick of those as an additional winner. July's fantasy focus is Mermaid. There is a separate bragging rights badge possible for this focus so make sure to have at least 1 July focus entry to be considered.  *
