Yes it is that time of year again that we at Craft Challenge Celebrate our birthday so grab a drink and checkout all the details .

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 9 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.

The sponsor on my blog is Scrap N Dipity.

And you can win 3 digital stamps from  Scrap N Dipity by adding your name to the Inlinkz at the end of this post.

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, Our Blog Hop lasts for the duration of this challenge, which means a closing time of Wednesday 6pm GMT on the 16^th of May 2018.

And here are our little rules for this challenge/blog hop:

GDT Sasayaki Glitter - Benny

Good morning from a warm and lovely Manchester and I am here with a GDt project.

Last month Naz the owner of Sasayaki Glitter asked me if i would like to be a GDt for a project and i jumped at it.

Naz has some fabulous images and also a great Progessive challenge on facebook and a monthly challenge. So lots of chances to grab some images and play along with her.

Now I had a peep in her shop and came across this fabulous little guy full of character and knew this was for me.

I just Love Benny and he was soo much fun to colour. You can grab him from the shop HERE

Image has been coloured with my promarkers

DP are all from my stash all old pads

Dies are Sizzix and Crafty Sentiments

Used a Tattered lace brick embossing folder which I added some distressed inks

Ribbon from stash

Chipboard sentiment

Well thats my little project and I would like to thanks Naz for asking me I really enjoyed it.
