#152 Aud Sentiments 6th Birthday Celebration

It's our Birthday!   We are SIX years old!  Can you believe it?  

Wow, those six years have just flown past!

The very first AUD SENTIMENTS CHALLENGE was in April 2010.

The blog was started by Audrey who had a craft blog called Aud's Cards (her blog is no longer active).  Aud wanted to start challenges that focused on adding a sentiment to the projects, 

thus the name Aud Sentiments.

All this time Audrey was still listed as the owner of the challenge blog.  In 2015 Audrey turned complete control of the challenge blog over to Julie T who is now the owner 

Thank you all for being there and joining in our challenges we so look forward to visiting your blogs.

To join us in our birthday celebration, please create a project with a Birthday Sentiment or the Number 6

The prize for this challenge is a gift certificate to the online store of the winner's choice.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Art by Miran

Hello I am Mi Ran artist and owner of Artbymiran, I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I grew up with Korean and Japanese Manga. In my childhood, I loved drawing and making my own little stories. I moved to Canada in my late 20s, where I reside with my husband.

Artbymiran turned one year this past July, and I can’t believe how far we have come in just 1 years’ time.

We have our main blog where my wonderful and talented showcase designers shares creations daily, a bi-weekly challenge blog showcasing fabulous creations to inspire by my super talented designers. Our Fan base Facebook page, a place to share your creations, chat with fellow crafters, and play in monthly challenges.

I also found the wonderful opportunity to turn my digital images into rubber stamps, you can see all of my stamps at Whimsystamps.com and crafts and me http://www.craftsandme.co.uk/.

I love sharing my art, creating new images. I receive so much joy seeing others make them into beautiful works of art.
