You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Our first winners post!

A very good morning and welcome to our very first winners post which also incudes the Design Team favourites from the months entries. You really rose to the challenge with both your support and fabulous Tags and ATC's, thanks to each and every one of you.

So we begin with Random Org's., winner selection and the lucky name is Janette, entry no 29.

Well done Janette, please mail me with your full name and postal address so I can send your die set.

First up is Pinky's choice, entry no 13 from Sarn: I was totally fascinated with her Zentangle ATC design. It's a tiny work of art and your eyes get drawn to the various patterns. Love it.

Lynn's choice is entry no 44 from Pat: All the entries are so unique and beautiful, but what stood out for me with this little tag is the serene scene and that little extra bee. To look at it is like stepping into a little garden.

Brenda has selected entry 25 from Rosi: The ATC coins have such fun images which are beautifully detailed and coloured and with the quirky sentiments make you smile, a collection with a story to be told.

Well done all three of you, please collect our DT Favourite badge to display on your own blogs.

We hope to see you all again on Sunday for a new challenge.

May - Anything Goes

Morning everyone, the waiting is over and today sees the start of our very first challenge, Pinky chose the theme which is nice and simple to get us all started....

Anything Goes

There are no restrictions on the style, products or mediums used and you can enter up to four times and combine with other challenges. Our rules and Tag and ATC definitions are on the pages above and have a few more details.

We really hope you will share your Tags and ATC's with us and one lucky winner will receive this super Tonic Tag die set from the lovely Peeps at CraftStash, who we are so sad to say are closing down. But it does mean they have a huge sale going on with some super bargains to be had so worth popping over to take a look.

All three of us have been busy and here is the inspiration we have come up with......

We really hope you will join us and please do let your crafty friends know about us. We will be back on the 14th of the month with some more inspirational shares.

The countdown is on....

Morning everyone, less than a week to go now before we launch our very first challenge next week on 1st May. We have been so encouraged by all the support received since we announced details of our little venture and send our thanks to all.

We have one last little giveaway, the pretty Julie Hickey stamp set above. As previously we have drawn a number from followers and the weeks commenters and this time Random Org., has come up with no 23 on our followers list, that is Sarah (Mallows Crafty Bits)....

Well done Sarah, please contact me so I can send your stamps.

We look forward to seeing you all again on Thursday when our first challenge theme will be Anything Goes Tags and/or ATC's.

Who's won a stamp set?

Morning everyone, as promised we are back with another little giveaway which is a pretty Julie Hickey floral stamp set, we thought it would work well on both Tags and ATC's as the images vary in size.

We've employed the same process as last week to select the winner and the lucky recipient is....

Number 6 is Val from our followers list, well done, please mail me with your full name and postal address so we can send your stamp set.

It's getting close to our first challenge on 1st May when our theme will be Anything Goes, we hope we will see lots of you there, but keep your eyes open as we just might have one more little giveaway next week.

More tags and ATC's

Morning everyone, we thought we would share a few more Tags and ATC's with you as today is the 14th on the month and that date will be our regular mid month posting day once we kick of the challenge fully on May 1st.

We have all created both a tag and ATC on an Anything Goes theme which will also be our May theme, we hope by telling you the theme nice and early you can plan ahead.

Thanks so much for popping in to see what we are getting up to with our preparation for May 1st. We will be back later in the week with another little giveaway so see you all then.

Update and a lucky name out of the draw

Good morning, it's a week since we introduced our new challenge and have been thrilled by the initial response, our thanks to all who have sent messages and comments of support and those linked up to follow our new venture.

We have been asked about eligibility of Bookmarks and ATC coins, we are sorry but bookmarks will not be accepted as we feel they do not fit into our specific challenge criteria. However Artist Trading Coins are generally recognised as an ATC and our rules have been updated to reflect this.

We promised a giveaway and today we have the first one drawn by Random Org., which is no 27 (to explain we took the number of followers starting from one upwards, then added the number of comments from one up)....

That lucky person who wins this super mixed media bundle from Highlight Crafts is......

Emma Trenouth

Congratulations Emma, please mail me with your full name and postal address.

For those not so lucky, we will have another draw very soon so keep your eyes peeled. We will also be sharing some more inspiration with you on 14th, the date that will in future be our mid month inspirational post. 

Brenda, Lynn and Pinky XX

Welcome

Good morning and a very warm welcome to our brand new challenge Tag-Along (and ATC's).

It seems a good starting point to introduce ourselves and how our challenge will work. We are (in alphabetical order) myself Brenda, Lynn and Pinky, we have been craft and blogging friends for many years and together came up with the idea for a challenge which is we think is a little different. 

Challenges will start on 1st of each month with a mid month post on 14th. The first challenge will be on 1st May and each month there will be a set theme with Anything Goes as a further option. Please keep reading as further down we have a bit more news.

We have come up with some makes to give an idea of what our challenge is all about and  hope it inspires you to come and join us on 1st May and to help you prepare our theme for that month will be simply Anything Goes.

First up is Lynn with a tag and an ATC with a lovely fresh and bright feel....

During April we will having some random giveaways which will be drawn from those signing up to follow our new challenge and those leaving a comments, do both and you'll have two chances to win. These winners will be announced during the month of April so keep your eyes on updates.

Our rules can be found on a page along the menu above and would kindly ask that all entrants read to familiarise themselves, but here are the more important points to help you prepare:

• You can enter the challenge four times with no restriction on combining with other challenges.

• Strictly only tags and ATC's accepted, but these can follow any style, shape or medium.

• There will be a prize each month selected by Random Org.

• Challenges will close on 28th of the month and our Top 3 and winner announced the last day of the month.

• Each DT will select their own favourite from the month's entries and explain what appealed to them. All three of us have different styles which means everyone has an equal chance of being selected. There will a DT Favourite badge.

Next Pinky has some pretty makes with a feel of Spring....

We are really excited about our new venture and can't wait for 1st May to see what you create and share with us, remember, whatever your style we will love to see them all. Finally, we would be so happy if you would share the logo at the top of this post on your own blogs to help us spread the word.

And now some from myself, Brenda and if you want to make a little ATC pocket like the one below, then go check out this page on the top menu where I've created a short photo tutorial.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
