the challenge...

Thanks for joining us for another SSDS challenge! The winner of the numbers challenge is Teresa with this gorgeous card! Congrats! Email me with your address please.

This week we have another acrylic stamp set from Autumn Leaves sent to me from our Secret Sister Sponsor! I want to send a big thanks out to whoever it was that sent me the box of prize goodies. (photo to be added later today, I didn't get around to taking a picture before dark.) So, my camera is not communicating with my computer for some reason. Hopefully I will get it fixed soon so I can add a picture.

This week we have a photo for you to take inspiration from. It can be anything at all from the photo, colors, theme, an item, whatever you like. I found this photo somewhere online and for life of me I can't remember where now, if you happen to know please let me know.


The design team has done a fantastic job again this week! They are the BEST! Hop over to their blogs to learn all the details of their projects.

Introductions!

Today I would like to give you the introductions for the newest design team members. It is a little late but it took longer to get everything together than I planned. But after all good things are worth the wait..right?
So, please take a few minutes to learn a little about them and give them all a warm welcome!
I've been crafting since 2008 and I enjoy it so much, it's a great way to keep my mind occupied and helps me to relax as my Husband and I are full time carer's for my mum who has Alzheimers. I believe my cards and crafting has improved so much over the past year as I've taken part in more and more Blog challenges, I was asked to be a guest designer on Tuesday Morning Sketches December 2010 which I enjoyed so much and was flattered to be asked as I never felt my work was quite good enough, My freind keeps telling me to apply for some DT work..so here I am, here's a little bit about me, Im Karen and Im married to Mark and we live in the UK Im in my 40's but dont feel it ha-ha...



I am almost 33 years old girl from eastern Finland. I am a Mom of two
wonderful princesses (3 and 1.5 yrs) and I am engaged to their father. I work as a entrepreneur and I have my own Beauty Salon.I LOVE crafting and I Love to challenge myself for new things. My
favourite color is PINK as you can see
if you Pop over to my blog: http://sandensupinat.blogspot.com/. I am so glad to be part of this amazing DT group.



Siobhan Kline



My name is Siobhan Kline. I am a military wife, mother to 3 little monkeys and a nurse. I started scrapbooking in 2001 after I "swore" I would never do it! I was introduced to stamping in 2003 as a way to make titles in my scrapbooks. I learned to make cards in 2006 and the rest is history! You can see some of my work in various Scrap & Stamp Arts and Just Cards publications. I am honored and thrilled to be part of the talented team here at SSDS!












I have a real passion for crafting, I have probably tried everything there is, knitting, cross stitching, painting, scrap-booking. I regularly attend craft fairs selling my wares.
I have just completed wall art painting in my children's bedrooms, some pics on blog if your interested.
But my real passion is card making.
I started a few years ago and realised that I can combine all my crafting pleasures and the addiction to fancy paper, flowers, ribbons inks and paints and most of all rubber and digi stamps took hold. (sound familiar ) lol. This is my blog http://sue-mycraftycorner.blogspot.com/






My name is Suzy - also known as Ike.
Blog Link; http://suzy-ikesworld.blogspot.com/
I am retired at 55 (formerly a police officer for 30 years) and live in Greece with my Hubby, 8 cats and 7 chickens.
I am basically a Fine Art artist, but I love all sorts of crafting, cardmaking, scrapbooking, model making and anything artistic really.
I work every day in my own studio at the house. I am a member of the Kalymnos Art Society and participate in many events/exhibitions and have my own range of piggy banks, which have become extremely popular here and abroad. I am also involved with the Kalymnos Theatre Group and assist them with prop making and artwork for their productions.







I have never been on a design team before and am kinda a newbie in the blog world, but I love it! I am working on building my skills, my ‘team’, and my inspiration base. I try to inspire others they way they inspire me!!! It’s amazing to see such great stuff on all of the blogs!!!
You can find me at…. http://ttscraps.blogspot.com/
I love to craft and have crafted most of my life. I started scrapbooking when my daughter was born 13 years ago. I scrapped off and on until I purchased a cricut last summer. WOW! That started me back up again and I’ve been going strong ever since. Still not caught up on my scrapping though…. J I really enjoy card making and projects. I am having lots of fun paper crafting and would love to challenge myself on a DT. I like that you post the challenges early so I can work on them early if I need to and I have no problem commenting on the entries….that’s a fun part!!



Tracey Clark



I am a proud mom of 3 wonderful children, two sons 23 and 18 years old and a 6 year old daughter. I work full time at a local middle school as the student services secretary. I have a passion for scrapbooking and paper crafts and love to share my craft with everyone. I love spending time with my family, enjoying outdoor activities or cuddled up on the couch watching movies.

new challenge...up finally!

Thanks for joining us for another SSDS challenge. I apologize for getting the post up late today. I have lost a day somewhere this week. I was thinking it was Friday all day today. We spent the entire week at the hospital with my son. With all the pollen falling here he ended up with a sinus infection and with him being sick it set his asthma off. Usually his asthma isn't severe but it was this time! He is all better now and home.

The winner this week is Christy Dillman! Congrats! Please email me with your address!


The prize this week is from a Secret Sister Sponsor! I have tried to figure out who I recieved a fun prize package from to offer up for 2 different challenges but for the life of me I can't figure it out. So I want to say a special Thank You to them!! That was so sweet and generous of you!!
The winner will recieve this fun tag stamp set from Autumn Leaves!

Are you wondering about the challenge yet? Well this week we want to see Numbers on your project! So have fun with it! Now lets check out the design teams projects!

Thanks for joining us for another Stamp, Scrap and Doodle challenge. We have lots to cover today!

First off I would like to introduce you to our new DT! It is always such a hard decision to make. I would like to thank everyone for trying out this go. Please do not take it personally that you weren't picked, I truly wish that I could have picked everyone. There is just so many slots to fill. I do hope that you will apply again the next term.

Please take a moment to welcome the newest members of the design team.
They will be joining the returning members


The winner of last weeks challenge is Brandy with this beautiful card. I love that image, I need that image. I seem to have a thing for dragons, maybe that's due to my 7 year old son. Congrats, email me with your info and I will let you know how to claim your prize.



This week our sponsor is Circle B Enterprises, owned by our very own Veronica! Here is a little about Circle B.


My name is Veronica Baker thou I am known in the Scrapbooking world as Just A Pac Rat. I am the owner of Circle B Enterprises Scrapbooking and more store and Spur's Computer Cures in Webb City, MO.
I used to have around 4000 Scrapbook related items listed on Ebay for almost 10 years, but about 8 months ago I decided to go strictly my own website and store front. This decision was mostly made because of Ebay's new price increase. I like to keep my prices low (presently 50% off retail prices) and just couldn't afford to do it on Ebay anymore. I am slowly but surely getting all my inventory listed online at http://www.circlebenterprises.com/I hope you will come visit my little store often and watch it grow! Also visit me at my creative blog http://circlebenterprises.blogspot.com/ where I show what I have created for challenges and Operation Write Home!
The winner will recieve a $20 credit to Circle B Enterprises. For one week only Veronica is offering anyone who orders this week free shipping. Simple enter FREE SHIPPING upon checkout. Thanks Veronica!

This week we have a simple sketch for you by CPS Sketches.
Now you can flip it, rotate it, whatever you like as long as we can tell that is where you started. So have fun with it.



Now lets see what the fabulous design team has come up with!
