October challenge

Hello everyone, welcome to our October Challenge.

We are thinking food this month with the theme "Food Glorious Food'. As always you can choose to make anything you like providing there is a connection to food to be seen somewhere on your work.

I need to give you a date for your diary.........October 29th sees the Fourth Ultimate Rubber Stamping Day at Sir Stampalot, if you have never been you don't know what you are missing. Lots of very talented crafters demoing simultaneously all day long, with loads of different styles to get your creative juices flowing. There's free refreshments and snacks available all day, offers of the day and plenty to keep you occupied..............and most importantly, don't forget your camera.

Also, all you Molly Blooms fans can find the new Christmas stamps in the what's new section here, as well as all the new goodies as they arrive at the shop...........that sections a bit addictive and I find myself checking it almost daily, each time with wide eyes and a notepad.

This months lucky winner is in for a real treat with his months fabby prize from Sir Stampalot, just feast your eyes on this little lot..........................

Lots of inspiration from our fabulous Design Team and as you will know from our winners post yesterday, we have a new Design Team member to announce.......................please join me in welcoming Ruth to the team. I am so pleased that she agreed to join us and know she will add another great creative angle to my oh so talented team of girls.

So here's the inspiration from the DT and what a fabulously varied take on the theme.............and Andy...............I've been told to let you know there will be a freshly baked cupcake with your name atop on 29th October.

A few changes

Good Morning peeps, I'm popping in mid month to give you a heads up about a change to our challenge.

As from November the starting date of challenges will be the first Sunday of the month which means that most months, our challenge will run until the end of the month................unless the first Sunday falls on the first of the month...............but rather than complicate things here I will be putting a list of exact dates on the sidebar to make life easier for us all.

Apart from that everything remains the same, fun themes, great prizes from Sir Stampalot, our monthly Top 3 and of course inspiration from the Design Team.

This months challenge will run until midnight GMT on 31st October and the next challenge will start on Sunday 6th November.
