C#28 New Crafty Goodies

Good morning fellow crafters

 Welcome to a new year and a new challenge, i hope you all had a lovely time over the festive holidays and I'm sure you all had some lovely crafty goodies from Santa or maybe you treated yourself in the sales, like i did.

A few changes

As you can see our blog has had a bit of a face lift for the new year, we also have a new badge as we are now no longer linked to the forum, please help yourself to our new badge for your blogs

Our challenges from now on will run monthly on the 15th of every month, our Sister blog Sparkles Christmas will continue monthly on the 1st of the month and it's a great time to start you new cards for Christmas which is only 344 days away so get on over there lol

We have sadly lost a very valuable member of the team, Angel.
As you all know Angel was the founder of this challenge blog but problems in her private life have all become too much for her and so the blog has been handed over to  me (Shaz)
We all wish her the very best of luck with her new venture with her son Curtis, Angel you will be very sadly missed good luck flower xx

We have had some new team members join us
Jo, Debbie, Ang & Rebecca I'm sure they will all become valuable members of the team and myself and the rest of the team look forward to working with them.
Rebecca is only 9 years old and is the daughter of Jo, i thought it would be lovely to have a youngster join us oldies lol to try and encourage more youngsters out there to get away from the telly and computers etc and join us.

We have 1 change to the rules and that is from now on you may only enter the challenge a maximum of 3 times, as prizes are involved this makes it fair for all.

Here at Sparkles we have some fabulous sponsors some old favourites and some new ones too.

For this month we are being sponsored by the lovely Emma from Crafty Emma's store, if you  have not been to Emma's store then you must, it's a great store with some fab bargains and excellent service.
