Challenge 119... Light it Up!

Morning Cupcake Lovers! I’m back, a little frazzled around the edges but hey-ho, I’m back and yes, it’s defo time for a Cupcake!

He’s behind you! Oh no he’s not! Oh yes he is! Thank you so much for taking the time to play along with our Fairytales and Pantomime Season challenge last week, especially with things starting to get a little crazy in the run up to the C word that I am currently completely ignoring! Panic on Christmas Eve sound familiar to anyone?!

This week is your last chance for snagging some Cupcake Madness goodies and next week, I’ll be randomly drawing a Guest Designer for January from all our Top 5 Winners this month, so without further ado…

The uber-talented Kathrin has chosen our theme:

***Light it Up! ***

Yesterday saw the first Sunday in Advent and to mark the occasion we would like to see a candle, somewhere, anywhere on your project.

You have until Sunday 5 December… 8pm GMT to place your entry for this challenge.
