<br />
Welcome to a brand new Challenge .... well it's been ages since we had a challenge here in the Craftroom but here it is, so I really hope you can all join in!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;">'Summer Blooms'</span></span></h3>
<br />
We would love to see your creations for this challenge which will run until<span style="font-size: large;"><i> April 30th</i></span><br />
<br />
I can just about feel that Summer is here and we have had very tiny smatterings of sun here in Torquay! Flowers always come to mind in spring when the daffodils start to come out ... usually the first blooms we see after winter.<br />
<br />
So I'd love to see any cards with Summer blooms in mind :)<br />
<br />
We have been making our cards using the brand new paper collection in the Store <a href="http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2235609-SUMMER-BLOOMS.html">'Summer Blooms'</a> and it's available to buy now. It is quite an arty collection of papers featuring big flowers, roses and accessory papers including shabby large polka dots and solid colours. The palette of colours is really fresh and summery and I think you will love it.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge and of course, one winner at the end of the challenge will be selected and will receive 1 paper collection from the <a href="http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/">Cupcakes Store</a>.<br />
<br />
Take a look at what some of our lovely Cupcake Design Team have been up to for this challenge. Their cards are below for your enjoyment and they have showcased our new papers from the SUMMER BLOOM collection ... thanks girls!<br />

<br />
I firstly wanted to apologise for not being around for the last few weeks, life has been a bit demanding lately and I have needed to concentrate on things at home and not 'craft' for what seems like absolute YONKS!<br />
<br />
Well I did select a winner from our December Christmas Challenge, and weren;t there just so many great entries! I hope you had chance to have a look at a few and I think the thumbnail pics are best so you can see at a glance each entry so <i>I'</i>m glad I used those.<br />
<br />
Ok, so to our winner of the December challenge ... <br />
<br />
And the winner is ... A beautiful TAG and this was made by ...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://scrappyjandesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/tilda-with-tag-gifts.html" target="_blank">JANIEL</a><br />
<br />
And here is Janiel's winning tag ....<br />

(There are more lovely pictures of Lena's card on her blog).<br />
<br />
Lena's card is lovely - I love the little lady drinking her hot tea (that's what I think is in that cup!), on a cold Autumn day! There is so much dimension to Lena's card and if you check out her blog you will see more of it. A beautiful brown and orange colour palette and flowers depict a autumnul feeling on this card and it was perfect for our challenge :)<br />

<br />
Well it is finally time to announce our winner of the 'Layers' Challenge back in July! Isn't time moving so fast! I have hardly had a chance to put my pc on lately let alone craft; i have just been out and about in some of the beautiful weather we've had and gardening. We have had a brand new deck put in our garden and it's super - i'm just out on it all the time :)<br />
<br />
so I am really sorry this post is a little late announcing our winner. <br />
<br />
Well, what a challenge it was in July wow! We had <span style="font-size: large;">217 entries </span>which was super A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!<br />
<br />
Picking a winner from all of those and such wonderful cards was sooooooooooooooo difficult, but I have to choose just one winner so the winning card is ..... number 176!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: magenta;"><a href="http://kitandclowder.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/fairy-dahlia-candy.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">ALYCE</span></a></div><br />
And here is Alyce's winning card....<br />
<br />
<br />

Isn't it just gorgeous. I am sure you will agree with me that this card was a worthy winner. I love all the layers in the card and so it depicts the challenge really well. What wonderful colouring WOW! I just love how all the layers and embellishments have come together for such an amazing amount of depth and richness.<br />
<br />
Alyce, thank you for sharing it with us. If you email me, you can choose a paper collection from the <a href="http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/" target="_blank">SHOP</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">~~~</div> Thank you all for your entries and I have a few cards below that I want to show off and give <span style="font-size: large;">'special mentions' <span style="font-size: small;">t</span></span>o as they were very close runners up ... so I hope you enjoy these ...<br />

I must say that I would love to make something more than just cards, but alas I have very little time to be creative! But our talented <a href="http://handmadecardsbyjo.blogspot.com/">Jo</a> has created something very special for us today...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
WOW!! This gorgeous hanging ornament is made with the <a href="http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/ourshop/prod_1622228-PATRIOTIC.html">Patriotic paper collection</a> which has 27 papers and even though they are red and navy, <a href="http://handmadecardsbyjo.blogspot.com/">Jo</a> has shown how versatile they can be! Here's a peek at some of the papers...</div>

<br />
<br />
Just gorgeous, huh?! I just love the sweet butterflies and how she has framed that sweet girl with that beautiful flower arrangement! <a href="http://handmadecardsbyjo.blogspot.com/">Jo</a> used the very modern <a href="http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/ourshop/prod_911212-MOD-PODGE-.html">Mod Podge papers</a> which has 20 Papers including textured patchy washed solids,
accessory papers and flowers and leaves papers. Take a closer look...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Got any kids about to graduate? If so, you will want to take a look at this fabulous card by our <a href="http://somewhereunderthesune.blogspot.co.uk/">Tammy</a>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" src="http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/73782080/sn/1495839224/name/Cupcakecardscolourq141.jpg" style="margin-top: 89px;" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What a gorgeous way to frame that fab sentiment and I love how she used the twine and buttons - so beautifully put together!
<a href="http://somewhereunderthesune.blogspot.co.uk/">Tammy</a> has used the <a href="http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/ourshop/prod_2009931-LAST-SUMMER.html">Last Summer</a> papers (on the right hand side) - which is a gorgeous shade of blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
Mandy once again manages to combine clean simple lines with a rocking modern take on distressed papers! I can never do this style - I always want to add something more but Mandy knows just when to stop perfectly! She used the distressed solid blue papers from the <a href="http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/ourshop/prod_1906309-BUNCHES-OF-ROSES.html">Bunches of Roses</a> collection, a great demonstration on how versatile these papers are! Check out some of the co-ordinating papers...<br />
