Challenge 258 - 8th of May - Birthday - OUR ANNUAL BLOGHOP At CRAFT Challenge

Morning all!






Happy Birthday To Us

Happy Birthday To Us

Happy Birthday Dear CRAFT Challenge

Happy Birthday To Us!



Can you believe it? CRAFT Challenge is already 5 years old. Originally started by Tracy from Just Tracy Crafts and with a DT mostly recruited from Trimcraft forum members (Hence the term CRAFT Challenge, which stood for Crafters Residing Are Friendly Trimmies. Or if you wished alternative meaning of Can't Remember A Flipping Thing) on the 4th of May 2009.



We have now grown to be a large team of Design Team Members from all around the world, supplemented with lots of Guest Designers who join us for a month at a time.



We have always welcomed all kinds of craft, not just paper craft (unless specifically stated so in the challenge at the time) and are happy to have such a large group of faithful followers.



So, how are we going to celebrate this milestone?



Well, how else can we celebrate than to have our yearly Blogaversary Blog Hop?



We all feature one of our sponsors for this blog hop on our blogs and I have the honour of featuring and offering a prize from the following sponsor. You can win this prize by adding your name to Inlinkz at the end of this post. I would love to see your comments as well.

Prize is 3 digis of choice from the store



How can you get to win any of the prizes provided by our sponsors?



That is easy! Just follow the route on our blog hop (you can also find that in our side banner), Our Blog Hop lasts for the duration of this challenge, which means a closing time of Wednesday 6pm GMT on the 14th of May 2014.



And here are our little rules for this challenge/blog hop:

  • We will choose a winner randomly from the correct answers entered, who will win a special Blog Hop pack by Trimgym's Digistamps and Images
  • We will enable comment moderation for the duration of this challenge/blog hop to ensure there is no cheating, lol.
  • And the main rule: HAVE FUN!





What can you win on our challenge blog?



  1. The winner of the winning sentence wins

And here are my creations for this week. I have created a few box cards with matching envelopes, I loved creating the templates for these, and a few 'simple' cards as well. I also used one of my triple easel card templates and added some drawers underneath to create a card for my daughter, who recently turned 16.

Hope you like my cards, I certainly loved making them and am quite pleased with the results.
