Craftober for October

Hi everyone, welcome back to the blog! It's been a little while, but I'm back with an update featuring a new project to get back into crafting again!

I have decided to dedicate the 31 days of October to cardmaking and crafting. This project for October will be renamed:

(For October!) YAY!

Everyday (Days 1 - Days 31) will be a word prompt to encourage you to make a card or project every day through October.

You're probably thinking - 'That's a lot Mel. 31 days, a card or project everyday?' Well, I'm gonna tell you right now - you can do this YOUR WAY. If you don't fancy joining in everyday, that's completely okay, if you just fancy doing a few days at a time, that's okay as well. Even if you can't do one everyday, but just fancy catching up in your own time, or combining consecutive days - that's great too - this month is all about being creative, being your own creative, and being encouraged to be creative, in your own surroundings in your own time and in your own way. I really do hope you will join in and I really would love to see your cards and your projects too. I encourage you guys to keep creative and be creative. You can even save all the cards / projects you make during the month and give them to friends in the following months ahead, or just keep them for your own preservations, or stocked up to send for Friend Mail, future occasions or just to make someone smile. They can be in the form of scrapbooking pages too, any craft project you like!

Join in on our Craftober month and get creative! The prompts for everyday will be below, and you can use the hastags: #melusmakescraftober2017, or #mmcraftober2017 so that I can see your makes and be encourage myself by all your great posts and pictures! I'll be posting on my blog and on my Instagram account - @melusmakes - please do come and follow me and join in the #craftober challenge
