Good Morning Cupcake Lovers :)
I find myself writing something of a bittersweet post today. After a lot of consideration, and believe me, this took a long time, I have decided to close Cupcake Craft Challenges. Cupcake has had a fantastic run, clocking up a total of 250 Challenges, 148 of them overseen by me. But, I'm ready for a break, I'd like to be able to spend a little less time on the computer and more time crafting. The good news is that I'm sure my zest for organising things will return in the future, at which point, Cupcake will be popping up on your screens again.
I would like to thank all our Sponsors, past and present, for their generosity and continued support of Cupcake. Many of the people I have dealt with in this capacity, have become friends and it's been such fun 'working' with you. Thank you.
And then there's the Design Team. Where would Cupcake be without the fab girls on the DT? I can't thank you enough for your time, your ideas, and the fantastic, inspirational projects you have created week on week. Aside from all your hard work, each one of you has become a special friend to me and you will always hold a place in my heart. Mwah!
So, for the last time, for now... Thanks so much for taking the time to join our Photo Inspiration Challenge, we loved seeing your gorgeous creations, even the cheeky ones!

I feel a bit sad that this challenge blog is taking a sabatical, I loved to enter the challenges, but I know that running a challengeblog is very timeconsuming. I want to thank Faye for running it and the DT for their inspiration, looking forward seeing the Cupcake craft online again, hugs, Marion
