Welcome to the Most Magical Time of the Year Challenges!

Thank you so much for playing in our big October launch party, our first Most Magical Time of the Year Challenge was a huge success with over 100 entries, WOW!  Your projects were so wonderful we just could not decide on our Winner and Top 3 so for Challenge #1 I decided to change things up a bit and give out extra awards, YAY!  I picked my two favorite projects, one Halloween and one Christmas, and the Most Magical Design Team voted on multiple Top Picks instead of a Top 3!  


The main prize sponsored by LeighSBDesigns Digi Stamps and SVG Cutz plus my special "Cat's Most Magical Winner" badge goes to #40 Carol J for these magical projects!


Congratulations, you've won a $10 gift certificate to spend at LeighSBDesigns Digi Stamps and SVG Cutz Boutique on Etsy.  Please email Cat to claim your prize by December 9 at paperdragonflychallenges@yahoo.com with “MMTOTY Challenge #1 Winner” in the subject.  I also invite you to be a guest designer in the near future using the prize you've won today, let me know if you are interested when you email me!

CHALLENGE #2: Most Magical Time of the Year - sponsored by All Dressed Up

Welcome to the Most Magical Time of the Year Challenges!

WOW, our first Most Magical Time of the Year Challenge was a huge success with 102 entries, thank you so much for playing with us in October!  The Most Magical Design Team and I are still busy visiting and commenting on all your entries and will have our main Winner and Top Picks post up on Nov 26!

If this is your first time visiting us then this is how the Most Magical Time of the Year Challenges came about.

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 launched two more Challenge Blogs dedicated to 3 of my favorite subjects, Cats, Christmas and Halloween!  Crazy for Cats launched Oct 24th and the first challenge is still open until Nov 25th so go play there if you love Cats! 

Most Magical Time of the Year is now your fun Challenge Blog where you can celebrate the most magical time of the year all year whether it be Halloween or Christmas as well as fun mash-up twists of all the other fun holidays we like to craft about too!  

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 round! 

Our Challenges are monthly and start on the first Friday of each month!

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 are 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 November Challenge!
Have a Most Magical day!
