Happy
Birthday To Us
Happy
Birthday To Us
Happy
Birthday Dear CRAFT Challenge
Happy
Birthday To Us!
(Sorry,
this is a rather very long post!)
Can
you believe it? We are 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. I am the only one still left from the
original team (Jo) and have been lucky to have such a lot of very
talented (G)DT members help me keep this challenge blog going. Our
main aim has continually been to HAVE FUN!
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?
And
this year we have these fabulous sponsors who are supplying the
prizes for our winners on the blog hop:
Now,
how is that for a set up? We are very happy and grateful that these
fabulous sponsors have agreed to sponsor our Blog Hop.
Now,
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:
- Our challenge this week is Birthday
- Create something with this in mind
- Add your project to our Inlinkz below to be in with a chance of 3 digital stamps from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More
- Follow the route of the Blog Hop
- Add your project to the Inlinkz at each of these stops to be in with a chance of winning the prize advertised on that blog
- Collect the words on this and the blogs on the blog hop
- Form a sentence with these words
- Return to our challenge blog and put your winning sentence in our comments under the post.
- 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?
- The winner of the winning sentence wins
So,
let's get you started on this challenge with some inspiration from
our Designers and Guest Designers.

And
here is the words to be collected on this blog:
So,
in summary:
- Create something with the brief Birthday
- Link your project to Inlinkz for a chance to be a random winner in the challenge
- Complete the Blog Hop
- Leave some Love, link to Inlinkz at each stop
- Collect all the words
- Make a sentence with your words and place in a comment at the end of this post.
- Check back next week or soon after to see if you are a winner on one of the blogs
- Have Fun!
Thank you for joining us in
our Celebrations, have fun on our Blog Hop and Good Luck! Don't
forget to add your entry to Inlinkz or to check back to see if you
are a winner.
Love,
Jo and The CRAFT Team.

Happy Birthday Craft Challenge May You Have Many More
ReplyDeleteHappy 5th Birthday!! Thanks for a great challenge and fun blog hop. There's only one problem, because I wisited Deborah and I didn't find anything so for now Im missing one word :/ Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to CRAFT! I will be back with my birthday card later (need to make one LOL). I hopped through the blogs but there was no post for Deborah - I will try her again later. Sujin had no linky so I will try again later. I don't have the sentence figured out yet (need Deborah's word) so I will be back with that as well. Thanks for a fun blog hop - you have an awesome DT - beautiful projects! Wishing you a joyful day!
ReplyDeleteHey, Jo, did you know that Deborah and Carol *both* have the word Celebrate. I'm trying to figure out the sentence but I'm drawing a blank. I'll have another go at it later. Still no linky at Sujin's so I'll check that later as well. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis year at CRAFT challenge celebrate our 5th birthday! To celebrate with us? A blog hop!!

ReplyDelete"JOIN US WITH A BLOG HOP TO CELEBRATE OUR 5th BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR AT CRAFT CHALLENGE".

Hit a few bumps along the blog hop with links.
ReplyDeleteI have my guess at the phrase with the words:

Happy Birthday CRAFT Challenge!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere is my guess for the sentence...
"Join us at Craft Challenge to celebrate our 5th birthday this year with a blog hop"
As my mother language is German, I hope I put the words in the correct order:
ReplyDeleteJoin our blog hop challenge to celebrate with us at C.R.A.F.T. this 5th year!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for a fun blog hop and Happy Birthday. I have made a sentence with all the words and my sentence is: This year to celebrate our 5th birthday join us at Craft Challenge with a blog hop.
ReplyDeleteNot sure it is right but nothing ventured nothing gained.

Commented earlier & since I read that comments are being moderated in case someone submits the correct phrase and I do not see my comment then perhaps my guess may BEE (that's me BEEing spontaneous) correct for the phrase. Looking forward to finding out. Happy Mother's Day! Please ck out my blog for the wonderful sketch my daughter made for me for Mother's Day.

It was a fun hop. Thanks.
Wonderful DT creations, Congrats on Celebrating 5 years! Fun Blog Hop.....another blank on what the sentence is.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I now cracked the code: join us this year at CRAFT Challenge to celebrate our 5th birthday with a blog hop. Congrats, and here's to the next 5 years :)
