October Mid-Month reveal!

Hi everyone!
Well the month is passing us by very quickly - have you had a go at the October challenge yet? If not, here's a reminder of the gorgeous mood board designed by Leanne Jago...


Besides being inspired by the board for your project, you must also remember to include a handmade embellishment. And don't forget that we welcome all sorts of projects for our challenge - scrapbook layouts, project life pages, cards, mixed media canvases, art journal spreads...as long as it meets our criteria and has been created specifically for our challenge, you are welcome to enter it. (Please note that entering your project into multiple challenges will void your eligibility for prizes with us.)

Art by Leanne Jago is also our official sponsor this month. Leanne has created an amazing prize for this month' winner...


This stunning pair of mixed media artworks come matted and ready to pop straight into some 8x10" frames. So gorgeous! (Such a shame there's a rule against our team members entering.) Make sure you get your entries linked up to be in the running to win!
