Most Magical Time of the Year!: CHALLENGE #1: Most Magical Time of the Year - sponsored by LeighSBDesigns Digis Stamps and SVG Cutz

Welcome to the Most Magical Time of the Year Challenges!

My name is Cat and I've been hosting challenges at Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges since January this year due to a medical issue effecting my fingers and crafty time. I've enjoyed Paper Dragonfly so much I'm launching two more Challenge Blogs dedicated to 3 of my favorite subjects, Crazy for Cats that will launch Oct 24th and today is the big day for the Most Magical Time of the Year Challenges to begin!

My most favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas so here's a fun Challenge Blog where you can now celebrate the most magical time of the year all year long whether it be Halloween or Christmas as well as fun optional mash-up twists of all the other fun holidays we like to craft about like Fall-o-Ween, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Christmas in July, Creepmas, Winter, Hanukkah, Diwali - Festival of Lights, Kwanzaa, etc!

I hope you love the holidays just as much as me and will enjoy playing along with us each month and celebrating the Most Magical Time of the Year all year long! I also managed to make a card for the first time in ages to celebrate, yay me!

Our Challenges are monthly and will usually start on the first Friday of each month but for our launch party we have extended dates, Sept 30 to Oct 31, so we can party the whole of October!

All kinds of projects, products and tastes are welcome here from paper crafting, altered art, mixed media, rubber stamps and digis stamps, die cuts and cut files, sweet and cute, creepy cute, quirky and odd to spooky and scary! Our Challenge info and rules will be included in each post and are up on this Page too!

Would you like to join our Most Magical Design Team? Have a look out our Most Magical Design Team Call page for more info, I hope to hear from you soon!

Now on to our first Most Magical Time of the Year Challenge!
