Week 260 - Happy Birthday Allsorts! and Blog Hop

Hello Everyone!
Well! another Bank Holiday weekend has rolled around and at the moment it looks as if the Sun may show itself.I hope that you all have planS afoot.

It is also a special week on the Allsorts Challenge Blog as it is our Birthday!!! 

It's been a fabulouS five years and it's wonderful to see all you lovely crafterS joining in each week, many who have been with us from the start and it's all of you who make AllsortS Such a Success. Plus of courSe our fabulous SponsorS and talented Design Team, a huge thank you to you all.


As you can See today is Allsorts Birthday and the Team are celebrating with a fabulouS Blog Hop and there are lots of crafty prizeS to be had.

You need to pop over to the Allsorts Challenge Blog to find out how to play the blog hop (it is really easy!)
The theme for the challenge thiS week is very appropriate

Happy Birthday!


and thiS is my project for you to have a peep at .................... 


ThiS is a card that I have put together for the Birthday Blog and alSo for a Sample to take onto TV on Tuesday.  I am So pleased to be going back to Create and Craft after a long enforced break due to health problemS.  I will be working for the Hobby House and, aS you all know, I love crafting with their gorgeous products.  The lovely image on the card is from EliSabeth Bell and it is from the brand new Ready to Colour Art bookS that I will be showcasing on the show. The paperS, flowers and greeting are alSo from Hobby House. I hope that you like the design. 

At the end of the challenge this week everyone that has commented on my card will be in a draw and I will pick a winner. There are some fabulous prizes up for grabs so it is really worth it.
There are lots of other prizes to be won from the Allsorts Challenge site and from the other members of the design team blogs. 

Enjoy a fabulous Bank Holiday and I hope that you have found my letter for our Birthday Blog Hop at Allsorts.
Thankyou so much for popping by,
Bye for now
Jo xx
