Cupcake - DT

I've had to schedule this post as today's our friends' golden wedding anniversary celebrations and we are down south to join in the fun!

I can't believe it's September ... where has the rest of the year gone?  Today is the monthly Cupcake Craftroom challenge with the theme of Pretty Pastels.  The DT were given Mandy's latest collection of papers with the same name to play with.  Wow they are beautiful and so easy to work with.

Enjoy your day, and I'll see you soon.

Hugs

Anne xx

Morning folks!  I didn't have time to get my DT card for the Cupcake Craftroom ready for challenge day on the 1st but I got it done in time for the midway reminder.

The challenge this month is Layers and I've certainly got plenty on my design!  The DT got to play with Mandy's latest collection called Flourishes.  The colours and designs are stunning.  

Pop over to the Cupcake Craftroom Blog and see the other DT members inspiration.  If you want to take part in the challenge you still have another couple of weeks to create your design and you might be the lucky winner of a collection of your choice from Mandy.

Hi folks!  Sorry I haven't been around again but we've been in York with a couple of our friends.  What a fantastic time we had and the weather was warmer than anything we had in summer (not that it would be difficult!).  One of these days I'll get back to being a better blogger but in the meantime here's my Cupcake DT card for October.
