Cupcake 181...Boys & Their Toys!

Good morning lovely crafters, its Donna here, posting this week’s challenge on behalf of our Cupcake Mummy Faye. She has been off enjoying a well-deserved break this weekend and we hope she had a fab time! First things first...we want to thank everyone who entered last week’s challenge...we had some amazing entries and Keeley had a really tough time choosing her Cupcake cuties!

I’m just popping on the reminder from last week regarding Word Verification appearing on some blogs, as it’s still causing the Cupcakes some problems when commenting. There seems to be a new version around which requires us to fill in two words so we can prove we're not machines. I totally understand why you may choose to use this, but I find it REALLY hard to see what the words are. As do a number of other people, including Cupcakes, I've spoken to about it. If I've still not sussed it after about three attempts, I generally give up. So, if you are using Word Verification, and you don't get a comment from us, we've tried, but just can't get through.

So without further ado here are the details of this week’s challenge which has been chosen by our lovely Cupcake Denise...

... BOYS AND THEIR TOYS ...

This is such a fun challenge and a great opportunity to dig out your male themed images and design papers! We all know how much boys like playing with their toys, whether they’re on the X-Box, PlayStation, fixing their cars or off fishing for the weekend! We’re pretty sure you’ll have lots of fun with this challenge and we really look forward to seeing your entries!

You have until 8pm, GMT on Sunday 4th March to place your entry for this Challenge

Cupcake 169... Teenage Boys

Morning Cupcake Lovers. I hope you had a fab weekend? That 'C' word is getting all the closer now isn't it?! But don't worry about that now, have a little Cupcake first! Go on, you know you want to...

Ooooh, you are a naughty bunch. There were a lot of cheeky entries last week and some projects that really hadn't followed our Challenge at all... naughty, naughty! ;) Please be sure to check all the details, as we hate disqualifying entrants. Anyway, that was last week. This week, we know, you know, Santa is watching!

And I have a little happy news to share. We asked one of our Guest Designers, Keeley, to come and play with us all the time. You really must check out Keeley's work. She often burns the night oil, creating fabby projects with amazing details. We're very lucky to have her join us. :)

So, this week, Denise has chosen a nice, simple Challenge for you:

... Teenage Boys ...

Teenage Boys are a bit difficult and tricky aren't they? And trying to get a project right for them is even worse, but, nonetheless, that's what we'd like you to do!

You have until 8pm, GMT on Sunday 27 November to place your entry for this challenge. Have fun.
