Challenge 71...A Time For Celebration
Good morning everyone...welcome to the last Cupcake Craft Challenge this year...this weeks challenge will run for two weeks and we will be back on 4th January with a brand new challenge for you!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken the time to enter our challenges this year! We have been overwhelmed just how quickly the challenge blog has grown and how many crafters are now following us. It gives us such a warm fluffy feeling knowing that so many of you enjoy entering our challenges and we also want to thank each and every one of our sponsors this year for being so generous with their prizes...without them our challenges wouldn't be quite so much fun or rewarding!
Thank you to everyone who joined in last weeks challenge to make a 5"x5" birthday card...we have received some beautiful entries and it has been very difficult to pick a top 5...you'll have to pop back later to see who our winners are!
Merry Christmas to you all
from all of us at the Cupcake Craft challenge
