October Challenge - { Anything Goes - in Autumn }

New Challenge Here!

Hello everyone!  

It's time to launch our new challenge for the month of October.   I can't believe how fast the year is going.  You can't help but feel and see the summer is over and that fall is here, leaves are falling, the weather is colder, windier and the nights are drawing in!  So for this month we are having an 'anything goes' challenge with the focus on Autumn.  

These are some of the ideas we had that make me feel Autumny!   

Fresh blustery winds

Rain showers

Falling Leaves 

Halloween

Pumpkins and Harvest Festival


We can't wait to see what you can come up with.  The prize, as usual, for this challenge will be your choice of one Cupcake Cards & Crafts paper collection store.

Here are the gorgeous creations from some of the Cupcakes Design Team:

Mary J

And before we go today we would love to thank all of you who joined us last month with our 'pretty pastels' challenge.  We will announce our winner soon,  who will win a paper collection of their choice.  Watch this space!

You have all month to enter this challenge, closing on October 31st at midnight!  I hope you can join in with us!

See you all Soon!

September Challenge - Pretty Pastels!

Hello everyone!  It's Mary J here and I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.  It's getting colder here in the UK now :( so autumn is starting to kick in but we thought we'd end the summer with a fresh feel!  So this month the challenge is to create a card or project using pretty pastels!  

But before we go onto that, we want to thank all the creative players we had last month.  How Mandy is going to select one winner will be a feat!  She will be back soon with the announcements so tune in again.

Back to the challenge!  To get your creative juices going again, this month the DT are using the new Pretty Pastels Collection Papers.  This has a total of 24 printable papers with a mixture of gorgeous patterns and coordinating solids in, of course, pretty pastels!

The prize for this month will be your choice of one Cupcake Cards & Crafts paper collection of your choice from the store. The winner will be announced the first week in September. 

Here are the beautiful creations from the Design Team:
