Cupcake Craft Challenge 126...Food For Thought!


Morning all...hope everyone had a good weekend and that there aren't too many poorlies amongst you...mine wasn't the best weekend I've ever had...we received some news on Friday that hasn't given us the best start to 2011 but as the old saying goes...life goes on...so its a case of chin up and get on with it! My mojo also deserted me this weekend and I'm not at all happy with the way this card has turned out. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make another one so it had to do...it kinda feels like a bin job to me but it hasn't gone in just yet!

We have a new challenge for you over at Cupcake today...the theme has been chosen by lil ole me and it's all about food...to be precise...FOOD FOR THOUGHT!...generally this time of year people are thinking about dieting for one reason or another (me included) and I thought that a food theme would be very apt...no choccy on my card just a very healthy apple and of course a beautiful lil girlie too!

We are sponsored by Heather Ellis this week and Heather very kindly provided the images used by most of the DT...thank you Heather! The prize on offer is 3 digital images to to the winner!

Finally...we are launching a new competition over at Cupcake...it's called 'What's the Challenge? You Decide!...the randomly drawn winner will get to choose the challenge theme for the 7th March and they will also Guest Design for 'their' week...all details over on the Cupcake blog!

Hi Hun. Your mojo looks fine to me, he's just sticking his tongue out at you! Your colouring is awesome and is complimented perfectly by the soft coloured papers you've used. I want to eat that apple right up. Big hugs. xxx
