Autumn Challenge and Exciting News

Hi Everyone

Jules here

I hope you are enjoying the

Autumn Challenge

this month which was set by my lovely Funky Hand playmate Amanda.

We have had lots of lovely entries to the challenge already
.. .. although sadly some people are not following the rules and will therefore not be eligible for winning a fabby download when the challenge closes on the 14th November.

All you need to do to make sure you qualify is use at least one Funky product and follow the theme. As always Anice has provided a Funky Freebie paper for you to use and you can find that here.

All of the Funkettes have had a great time with the theme but before I jump in and show you what I created .. .. I want to ask you not to disappear from this post too quickly as there is some exciting news at the end of this post that you just won't want to miss!

NO!!!!!!! .. .. don't go to the end yet .. ... look at my make first!!!

This was created using some of the design papers and the pillow box template and label from the new

Twelve Crafters Crafting Papercraft Factory CD

that is due for release on Saturday the 5th November

but will be available for pre order TODAY by visiting http://www.funkyhand.com/

The CD was designed with Christmas in mind

and features lots of gorgeous papers and images, the wordbook generator, fonts,

sentiments and templates all just waiting to be manipulated on the legendary workspace

.. .. well I could go on for ever .. ..

but basically it holds everything you come to expect from one of

Anice's fantastic Papercraft Factory CDs.

Although the CD is Christmas orientated my Autumn Challenge project shows that you will be able to use it for more than just Christmas projects.

So that is the challenge part of this post .. .. now round to the exciting news I eluded to at the start of this post.

Today marks the launch of our very first

BLOG HOP

which is to celebrate the launch of the new Christmas themed craft CD ROM

Twelve Crafters Crafting
