ReplyDeleteOps, I just missed the deadline, now that I made my vintage card... including a key :(. I was confused with the monthly challenge, and thought the projects had to be submitted by October, 31. Annoying, but my mistake.
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed the deadline, Cris! Just a heads up that the deadline (25th of the month) is always mentioned in the challenge post under "How to Play" (item #5) and also on the sidebar.
DeleteThank you for the heads up, Shery. I read the "How to Play", just mixed up dates this month...
