Cupcake 211... Fairytales

Hiya! It's that time of the week again Peeps. Fancy a Cupcake?

 Thanks so much for taking the time to join our Script and Gold Challenge last week. Your creations were really stylish and elegant, it was a pleasure to see them all. It looks like you enjoyed the Candy, kindly provided by Marianne Design too :)

The end of September means it's time for us to say Cheerio to our wonderful Guest Cupcake, Polly. I'm sure you'll agree, she has made some really fantabulous creations for us. Thanks Polly, it's been a pleasure seeing all your gorgeous projects, and you've been an absolute star.

Our lovely Cupcake Liza is taking a little break, due to some exciting things happening right now. You'll still see her fab work, but you might not 'hear' so much from her. So, we have a rather gorgeous new face joining us for a while. Rebecca makes beautiful clean and simple style cards and I know you're gonna love seeing them. Hi Rebecca :)

So, I guess you'd like to know what our next challenge is?

... Fairytales...

We'd like you to use a Fairytale, or someone in one, as the inspiration for your projects.

You have until 8pm GMT, Sunday 30 September to place your entries for this Challenge... Have Fun!

Candy Time... New Challenge in post under this one...

Well hello... I bet this post is confusing you a little. Don't worry, you haven't blinked and lost a few hours, it's still Sunday and not Monday ;)

But why are we here? Good question. We have Candy, generously provided by Marianne Design. But why? Good question!

By popular demand, it's finally here: the Marianne Design catalog. The complete overview of all Creatables and Craftables, and overviews of the stamps and other products. Marianne Design has put everything together in themes, and of course it's filled with beautiful examples and inspiration. And to help you to keep track of your dies, they've added check boxes as well, easy right?

If you want to know more about Marianne Design products and sales addresses, click Here. Want a sneak-peek into the catalog?


So, the candy? Here it is:


Wanna chance to get your mitts on it? It's as easy as one, two, erm, that's it! Here's what you need to do:
  • Add the picture below to your sidebar and link it back to this post (we'll be checking!)
  • Add your name to the Linky Thingy down near the bottom

Job done!


We'll be closing this candy at 8pm GMT on Sunday 23 September 2012, so be quick.

If you're here for the Challenge, don't link your entry to this post!!


Byee :)
