Yay, it's Friday and even better still no majorette events to attend so this weekend will be my own, I hope to get lots of crafting done and probably do some things with the kids too...hubby home from Manchester today and I bet he brings loads of washing with him too lol!
Today sees the launch of the brilliant Crafty Calendar Challenge blog...
...and for those of you who visit me regularly you will have already seen that this is a challenge blog that will post a new challenge on the first Friday of each month and each challenge theme will have something to do with that particular month...so without further ado...this months challenge is...Autumn - Make a card with an Autumn theme...
with an optional extra of using plants and vegetation...although this isn't compulsory!

The design team have provided the most amazing inspiration with their cards and you can see them all over on the challenge blog now! We also have a sponsor for our first challenge and its the incredibly talented Christine Dark from Sketching Stamper
...if you want to win some of the awesome digi images that Chris designs then make sure you enter this month's challenge!For my card I have used this adorable little Lily Boo digi image from the 'Boys and their Toys' collection...just perfect for an autumned themed card (I thought so anyway lol!) I have coloured with PM's which took me blimming ages and then I have mounted onto SU! card stock! The design papers are a freebie download from Summertime Designs and the collection is called 'Falling For Fall.' I created the sentiment on the PC and the ribbon and buttons are from my craft stash! Please, please, please come and support our first challenge we would love to come visit your blog and see your fab Autumn themed creations!
