CRAFT Challenge Blog Hop - Sharon's Stop




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 4 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.

So, now it is time to get you some inspiration for this challenge. Here is my card for this challenge using 'Holiday aurora honey' digi image from Sassy studio designs.


 I thought I'd go for a royal themed celebration card and used the Portobello road papers from Papermania. I coloured in the image with Promarkers, I used some Whimsy pennant stamps and the petite pennants builder punch from Stampin Up and them decorated with some flowers I made using tonic punches.

Your next stop will be Sheryl. Hope you are having fun! Enjoy the rest of our blog hop!

So, now it is time to get you some inspiration for this challenge. Here are our cards for this challenge.


Here's mine (Liams's) I've used a digi image from Eyecandie called Mothers day Ryan. My Grandma is 60 this year so I made this special card for her. I used my Mummy's craft things, apart from the card candi as I have some of my own in my craft box.




This is my younger brothers card (Owen's). He also used a digi image from Eyecandi called Flower pot treat, which he coloured in with Mummy's Sakura pens. He made it all by himself including the 'Grandma' stamping and using Mummy's Cuttlebug to cut out the image. Mummy just helped him punch the sentiment out and he wasn't strong enough!!. He added lots and lots of flowers to it.



Thanks for stopping by,


Your next stop will be Jenny. Hope you are having fun! Enjoy the rest of our blog hop!
