Greetings friends. Things are going to look a little different this month for the card challenge because Typepad hasn't been working well for a week and is currently not letting us upload photos and add all of the features needed to run a monthly challenge. Therefore, we are going to take a month off from the challenge and reconvene again in December for a new card challenge. Hint...you might want to get cards with bows on them ready for next month!

We will continue to upload posts with photos in them ASAP once Typepad is back up and running completely. Meanwhile, you can also follow us on other social media platforms.

The random winner for the October prize was NanaConnie from the Grammy's Attic blog.

Thanks so much for your patience. It has been really frustrating to not be able to show you some crafty inspirations!
