Back to crafting, CRAFT Challenge 540 - Anything Goes

Morning all,

After a long break from crafting as I've simply been too busy, I've finally managed to have some time for crafting.

This time, my creations are for CRAFT Challenge, the challenge blog I'm part of the DT of.

This week (2 weeks) our challenge is Anything Goes and the sponsor I used an image from is Morgan's Artworld

And here is my card for this week, using Jaguar in Snow.

I also created this card this week:

Blog hop time at CRAFT Challenge: ***** Challenge 512 - 9th of May – Annual Bloghop: Birthday! *****

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 10 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 4^th of May 2009.

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

CRAFT Challenge 466 - 3rd of May – Colour Combo

I know, it's been quite a while. I've been far too busy keeping the challenge at CRAFT Challenge running as well as writing my books (so far 4 romance novels published under my writer's persona of Joni Martins at Amazon), but now I finally have made a card again. Hope you'll like it.

This week at CRAFT Challenge our challenge is as follows:

Challenge 466 - 3rd of May – Colour Combo

(pink, purple, white, aqua (greenish-blue), royal blue/dark blue)

In other words, we want you to make a crafting project using the above colour combo. To help you along, I have also posted some free papers from the 'May Wedding 2018' paper pack that I have created using these colours on our challenge blog and on my digistamp blog. As usual these papers are intended for your personal use only and they are not to be shared with others or resold. You are free to direct others to the blogs to grab them themselves though.

Our sponsor this week is Oddball Art

And the prize for the winner is 3 digital stamps of choice from Oddball Art.

I have however used two stamps from Pickled Potpourri, who is our sponsor for our Star of the Month April.

For the below card, I have used Butterflies Are Free by Pickled Potpourri Designs and Vintage Greetings by Pickled Potpourri Designs as well as my own papers. I hope you like it.

As a special treat, here are the papers I have used. Again, these are only for your personal use and not to be shared or resold.

Love,

Jo.
