Time for another remix!!  We're back from Utah and certainly enjoyed meeting many of our lovely supporters!  Let's be sure to do it again sometime, yeah?  That will be great!  Speaking of great; Sara Nell Langland has just won our challenge for 2 weeks in a row with her take on our Clean and Simple Challenge!! Check out her project on our Winner's Circle Page!   We will be posting our runners up on our Facebook Fan Page too so stay tuned...you just might see your card featured!

#TGIFC12- What's Your Fave?


Welcome back for week Twelve!!  There was an incredible show of talent on last week's sketch challenge.  Almost 40 cards, and every one was great!  Once again, the design team was torn picking a winner, so be sure to check out our honorable mention posts on Facebook to see the cards that almost made the top prize.  Ultimately we had to pick one, and the winner is Julie Gearinger!  Check out her project on our Winner's Circle Page!  Congratulations Julie, and don't forget to grab the winners button for your blog!

I am honoured to share some exciting news with you this week; our team is growing again!  Yep, we've added a new Designer to our team! You should recognize her from her multiple guest spots over the last few challenges (as if you didn't already know her work before that).  I'm talking about the one and only CrushOnColour herself - Shannon Lane!

http://crushoncolour.blogspot.com/

We are absolutely delighted to welcome her to our team, and I hope that you can give her a warm welcome, too!

And if that wasn't exciting enough we are doing a Give Away at this years Stampin Up Convention!

To win be one of the first 15 people that find Trouble a.k.a. Stampin Stud roaming around at Convention & give him the code word: Shenanigans

Don't worry if you aren't attending- we will be doing an Convention After Party Giveaway so stay tuned!

Now onto the challenge...

This week we have a challenge Free for All! So grab your newest paper crafting toys & meet us on the playground:

 
 
The challenge is simple:  no particular sketch, no particular colours, no theme other than to highlight your favourite new product!  Are you ready to see what our designers' favorites are?  Well, here you go!
