What we sent to our M&J Challengers!
Last year’s M&J Challenge was so much fun and overwhelming with creativity that we had to do another challenge. But with New Bloggers! We hand picked our favorite Summer Trims for 2011 and sent our new favorite bloggers the exact same trim. Their challenge is to craft a creative DIY using the trimmings that we sent them in one or more projects. Meet the M&J Challengers HERE

WOW!! i cant even believe that in one box you get soo much versitility. Everything looked awesome and so many more ideas to come. deffenitly giving a turbo charge to my DIYing after seeing this!!!!
I am in awe of all this talent! It amazes me how each crafter was given the same supplies, yet not one came close to copying another! What an amazing machine our mind is! So many great ideas to spin off from!
Amazing how one box of goodies can create so many wonderful ideas!

Some of these creations are absolutely flawless! I would love to win the giveaway and receive so many DIY materials. Lately I have been in a DIY mood, using many of these lovely women’s DIY’s as inspiration. However, it is quite expensive to buy all the materials that I need, and this giveaway is a wonderful opportunity to win materials! 🙂 It would be a dream come true.
Love all of these creations! I would love to win the goodies too 🙂
I think the kaftan is my favorite.
I would love to win this!!!
AWESOME! Such great ideas. I especially love the way the dyes influenced the projects. I loved the kaftan and the ribbon bracelet. I also loved Maggie’s jewelry 🙂 YAY!
would love to win this hamper..and make some creative stuff….
It’s amazing to see the different directions these creative minds went in… hmmm… my mind is starting to move!
This was a great way to show how creative people can be! I would love to be able to spend the day checking out your store….but then I would need another room for all my great finds! Way to go, crafters! Wonderful projects!
Unbelievable! Who knew all these used the same supplies?!
what fun and great ideas. I love the freedom to do!
These are so awesome!!
AWESOME! I love all of the jewelry! The friendship bracelets are so in right now! (I think the thread wrap bolo bracelet is my fave)
Those colors are great, I love them! I have a lot of teal in my wardrobe, but I really should add more yellow . . .
i looveee all the projects!! great work girls :DD i will try few of those myself
Great colors and great tutorials!!
I love all the fun, summery things!
Wow! These projects are all so amazing, I can hardly pick a favorite, but I loved the colors of the Hand Died Silk Ribbon, I would love buy to have some of that.
This is such great stuff! LOVE IT ALL! Thanks!!
I would love to get this box. I think all the bracelets that the ladies made are terrific. I think that’s one of the first things I would do if I got the box.
Don’t you wish that M&J Trimming would consider selling the “challenge kits” to the rest of us that will never be picked, but would love to make the crafts these ladies created.
These projects are great! I really like the ribbon necklace.
wow what a fun thing to be a part of. They all had great ideas.
That box of goodies makes me drool. Fun project inspirations!
The people who created these projects are such an inspiration — must go to my sewing room and, you know, sew!
Amazing to see how each person used the same materials in such a different way.
I seem to love all the ones with rhinestones! Guess I know what I need to order…
Amazing work everyone, what a cool challenge.
How creative! This looks like so much fun!
Great ideas and tutorial! i love it very much, thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing.
Love,
