Our annual blog hop at CRAFT Challenge

Good Morning, (oops, sorry, it failed to publish)

This year Craft  Challenge is 11 years old and still going strong.

Our team is a group of dedicated, talented, lovely people lead by the only team member who has been present from the start, Jo.

If you feel at any time that you would like to join our fabulous team, then just have a look on our DT Call page, which will inform you of any openings on the team. Or, simply get in touch with us and let us know.

And now it's time for our birthday celebrations. This week our challenge is

Birthday!

(what else could it be?)

Anything that fits in with this subject, qualifies for entering into this challenge.

There is a maximum of 1 entry per person for this challenge and as always it needs to be new work (so created and posted after this challenge has started). Although we love to see your work, it would put those contestants that put more than 1 entry in at an unfair advantage. The same limit exists for the prizes to be won on the blogs of our DT members.

Please also make sure to turn word verification off as this makes leaving a comment on your lovely creations much easier. We do not leave a comment if you have word verification switched on.

The rules this year are very simple:

     1.     Make a project for this challenge and add it to the Craft  Challenge Blog  and your entry will be put in the random draw for the prize from Love To Scrap 2.

   2.     Visit the blogs of our DT and enter into their Linky or their comments if no Linky is in place to be put in the random draw for the prize on their blog.

    3.     The Top 3 will be chosen as every week and each of the Top 3 will win a prize this week too.

     You should have come here from Sheryl’s Blog and as you can see your next stop is Craft Challenge .

The prize on this blog is

a store voucher for $20 off an order at DRS Designs

If you would like to win this prize, enter your name in the Mr Linky below.

And here is my creation to help to inspire you. I have used Butterfly Kisses Greeting and Large Open Silhouette Butterfly from DRS Designs.

Create your own Embellishment/Flower

This challenge lasts 2 weeks!

Anything that fits in with this subject, qualifies for entering into this challenge. (Please tell us how you feel it fits in with this subject).

Don't forget, there is a maximum of 2 entries per person and it needs to be new work (so created and posted after this challenge has started). Please also make sure to turn word verification off as this makes leaving a comment on your lovely creations much easier. We do not leave a comment if you have word verification switched on.

We understand a lot of people have experienced problems with the new Inlinkz. Although I believe they may now have solved the problem, you can find a little tutorial to help you through the process of adding your link to the new Inlinkz here.

Here is the fabulous sponsor for this challenge:

Sponsor 1: Morgan’s Artworld

The prize is the 3 images from Morgan’s Artworld used by the team.

Sponsor 2: CuteNCraftyMommy

The prize is 3 images from CuteNCraftyMommy.

And here is my attempt to give you some inspiration.

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:

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.
