A very good morning to you all, it's Brenda here to welcome you to our 16th Birthday challenge where we have a nice and easy theme and some fabulous prizes.
The years seems to have sped by as it seems like only yesterday we nervously introduced our first challenge when they were a whole new concept, so much has changed in the world of crafting since then.
At the risk of seeming overly nostalgic I scrolled back to those early days of 2009 and came up with a few of the DT makes below from that first challenge where we tried to depict the challenge name (those in the UK will recognise Allsorts sweets). Looking through I recognised a few names in Top 5 lists who are still regular entrants: Pinky, Val/Aquarius, Helen B, Sherri and I'm sure there are more as well.

Brenda

Back to today and we send thanks to all of our entrants for their continued support and of course the wonderful companies who provide prizes throughout the year, without all of you there would be no Allsorts challenge.
Our Birthday theme for you is simply....
Anything Goes
The only requirement to be eligible is as always, you must provide make and details of the focal elements used to create your entry and of course link to us. Don't forget you can enter five (5) times.
The wonderful Guys at AALL and Create are giving a fabulous collection of products which will be split four ways with those winners selected by Random Org.
Plus we have some special prizes just for our US based entrants (selected by Random Org.,), a $25 store voucher from Lawn Fawn, three stamps from Colorado Craft Company and a $25 store voucher from Gina K Designs (offering a Worldwide winner)

Thanks so much for the challenges. I did not add a number to my little giraffe on the sailboat card; since most of mine seem to be ineligible. This is a purchased digital image and I colored it; so I hope it qualifies. Thanks so much for a place to post our creations. Gloria
