A birthday party needs presents and we're sharing them around with you so look out for prize give-aways this month from our amazing sponsors which you'll hear more about as we post each new challenge. For the chance to win prizes all you need to do is follow each challenge to create your card and add a link as usual to where you've uploaded your card so we can come and see what you've made.
Parties also need guests so look out for surprise guest designers joining us through October too! We're going to have so much fun and we hope you can join us all through October.

On to this week's challenge and as it's the first week of the month as usual we've based the challenge on a colour combo and this month we want you to take inspiration from the colours is this yummy rainbow cake picture:
As we're celebrating our birthday we'd also like your cards to be birthday themed cards and as an added extra challenge if you're up to it have a go at creating a second card but making it a Christmas card or other extra project based on the ideas you used in your first card.
Each week this month we are going to have some wonderful prizes from sponsors. Our first sponsor is docrafts, and they have generously offered Poinsettia and Ribbon Bow punches to one lucky winner - even more reason to join in this week!
