Good morning, crafters! It’s the 1st of October and you know what that means – it’s time for another Craft & Connect challenge!
This month, we’re in our Pumpkin Spice Latte era, so we’re bringing you an autumnal mood board for this month’s challenge! We have a beautiful colour palette to inspire you, or you could go all-out Halloween – however you interpret the challenge theme is up to you!
Our guest designer for October, Natasha Davies, will be sharing a project with us later in the month to inspire you. In the meantime, I’ve made a spooky-but-cute little card to kick off the challenge – incorporating all of the challenge colours into a Halloween card:
I’ll post a separate blog post later on in the week with all the details on how I made this card, and a full supply list, too.
