Happy Birthday to the 4 Crafty Chicks!


Hello everyone!  Are you all enjoying the 4 Crafty Chicks Blog Hop?  If you hopped here from Leanne's blog, you are on the right track.  I can't believe we have been doing challenges for an entire year already - where does the time go?

We've got a fun theme for you all to play with this week, "Celebrate!" and, boy-oh-boy, does that leave the door wide open for you all to play with us.  You could celebrate a birthday, a wedding, a new baby, an anniversary... the options are endless so you really have no reason to NOT play!  PLUS, there are prizes to be won - everyone loves a prize, right?

For my card, I decided to go with a birthday card - quick and easy - no specific color combo and a sketch from somewhere I can't remember... good one, hey?  I pulled out one of my Pure Innocence girlies and got to work:


Each Chick has graciously donated a prize to be given to one lucky Blog Hopper who leaves a comment on the Chick’s blog. The winners will be chosen by each Chick using Random.org.   To be eligible to win Blog Hop prizes, participants must: (a) become a follower of the 4 Crafty Chicks blog; (b) leave a comment on each of the Chicks’ blogs; AND (c) leave a comment on the 4CC blog. Here's what one lucky hopper will win from me:



 So, not only is this a fun anniversary challenge, the 4 Crafty Chicks have also decided that NOW is the time to start having a monthly Guest Designer! We are so excited to be giving everyone the opportunity to join us for a month of fun challenges. This month, and during the first challenge of the month in January and May, we will be on the lookout for Guest Designers for the next three months. If you participate in this week’s “Celebrate!” challenge and would like to be considered for October, November or December’s Guest Designer positions, please put (GDT) after your name when submitting to inlinkz – please remember that you will be committing to a month of challenges (which you will receive immediately after being chosen as Guest Designer.)


So, what are you waiting for?  Get busy creating - we can't wait to see the fabulousness out there!  Off you go now to Tamie's blog - Paper Infusions and More - for the third installment on our Celebration Blog Hop!
