Spam comments on our blog.

Dear Followers of this blog,

You may have noticed that we have been exposed to some spam comments over the last few weeks. We apologise if this has caused any of you any problems or upset.

We have attempted to remove all the spam content and have decided to make life a bit more difficult for spammers on our blog. We therefore regret to have needed to take the action of enabling the 'word verification' for comments on our blog.

If we find this also fails we will likely need to go as far as comment moderation. We will try our best to not expose you to the spam comments we are receiving.

Jo and the CRAFT Team.

I am so sorry you have had this happen. I had to put comment moderation on my blog last year as I kept getting spam messages. I hope the spammers leave you alone in future. Best wishes

Welcome to C.R.A.F.T. Challenge Blog

We will post a new challenge every Thursday.

Feel free to join in with the challenges and create any type of craft work you choose.The main thing is you have fun !!!

When there are prizes on offer please ensure you follow these additional rules:~

Work must be your own and not copied!

New work only please! No back-linking allowed!

Entries must be in by 6pm GMT the Wednesday before the next challenge is posted. (E-mail entries up to 4pm GMT only).

To join in the fun please post your card/project on your blog with a link to our challenge and then add to InLinkz.

If InLinkz is not there, please refresh your page, it may not fully have loaded.

Please link to your blog post with your project, not just your blog or we may not see it! A link to your project on your gallery is also allowed. Please turn off word verification or we will be unable to leave a comment for you. (see below how to do that).

If you don't have a blog you can always e-mail your projects to us and we will be happy to post them on our e-mail entry blog.

Winners will be drawn at random and will be eligible for a prize from one of our sponsors where this is advertised.

A maximum of 2 entries per challenge per person is eligible for a prize only. No more entries will count.

We will also choose a weekly Top3 and a monthly 'Star of the Month'. The 'Star of the Month will also receive a prize from one of our sponsors.

To claim your prize and/or badge/blinkie, please e-mail us at the e-mail address above with your details before 8pm GMT on the Wednesday before the next challenge goes live. In the subject line please state: Winner challenge x (x = number of the challenge in question).

If the winner has not reported before 6pm GMT the Wednesday before the next challenge goes live, we may draw for a winner again.

Winners, chosen Top3 and 'Star of the Month' will also receive a special badge/blinkie for their blog. Please find those on the special page for these on this blog.

We would also like to recognise any young crafters joining us for our challenges. If the entrant is 15 years old or younger, please mention this with the entry (eg 'Jo (aged 10)' instead of 'Jo') to make it easier for us to recognise this. We have a special badge/blinkie for our young crafters and a little prize as well. Please e-mail us to claim your prize.

Jo and The CRAFT Team.

A Worthy Cause

Hi to everyone who takes the time to read this!

I would just like to say that if you make a card for one of our challenges and you're not planning on sending it to anyone, could you please spare a thought for the many sick children in hospitals all over the U.K.

Perhaps you could take a look at the banner link below which will take you to Post Pals, an organization that does its best to ensure these sick children get a cheering card or gift occasionally. They would LOVE to receive one of your cards. You may even receive a reply back, if the child is well enough.

These seriously ill children have their days brightened immeasurably by receiving post from people they don't even know.

What a wonderful achievement for the cost of a stamp!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge
