My goodness can you believe that we are onto our 7th Challenge already!! Time goes so quick doesn't it? Now that we are into October we thought we'd make the theme AUTUMN. Once again our DT have been busy beavering away to create some stunning samples to help give you some inspiration. Don't forget if you want to find out in detail how any of the card samples are done you can always visit their individual blogs by clicking on their name above the sample.


We don't have many rules for our challenges but just incase you haven't visited us before or if you need a refresher they are as follows-



  • You can make any creation of your choice so long as it meets the challenge set.

  • You may enter more than once if your projects are entirely different i.e 1 card, 1 tag, 1 atc etc

  • You can combine with other challenges

  • Please link to your actual project and not your entire blog

  • You can use any products so long as you follow the challenge

  • Have fun fun fun!!!

To enter simply click on the blue frog at the end of the post. This challenge will run until 9pm Thursday 21st October 2010. We shall all look forward to seeing what you come up with!!
