New DT...Yay!

When the Little Paper Shop closed its doors I was sad to see that I wouldn't be able to complete a weekly challenge anymore. I mean some Sunday nights I scrambled to pull something together but for the most part, I liked the task with a clear directive. And what luck...I got on a new DT that is all about weekly challenges!

I am going to work with the weekly challenges at Scrapbooker's Paradise Ponderings. Scrapbooker's Paradise has four stores; one in Red Deer and Lethbridge and two in Calgary, and they also have a huge online store at www.scrapbookersparadise.com.

This first challenge that I get to participate in is a color challenge (of the Scrapbooker's Paradise store colors) - green, yellow/gold and burgundy. Doesn't that scream Christmas? It did to me so off I went!


Products Used:

MS Punch Around the Page set.
Basic Grey Jovial DP and sticker.
Stamp from PTI.
Bling from M's.
Ribbon from the dollar store.

Do you know what's fun about this challenge team? It's all Canadians...and they are pumping out some great work! Be sure to check out their work at the following links!

Julie Dinn: Kreative Jewels
Carla Peicheff: Moralia’s Weblog
Allison Cope: Your Memories
Allison Fillo: Stampin' When I Can
Karan Gerber: Karan Gerber
Dana Nelson: Aspiring to Creativity

When you play along, link us up at the Scrapbooker's Paradise Ponderings so we can see what you did! Should you win that week's challenge, you will be invited to play along with the following challenge as our special guest! (P.S. Leave a comment too...it's easier for us to make sure we visit [it's an InLinkz thing where it only notifies the link owner rather than the whole team].)
Positive note of the day: I didn't have to go anywhere today (save picking up and dropping off the kids)...thank gawd for that!

Congrats Allison! I heard there was a blog being created for the SP stores. I don't make it there to shop often enough so maybe I need to look into the on-line store. I'm gonna go hunt down the blog now. Thanks for sharin'!
