Thanks for joining us for another SSDS challenge. We are back today with another challenge after taking last week off. Which I had a post scheduled to go up to let you all know but for some reason it didn't post..go figure. I want to say thank you for all of the apps for the DT call! I am always amazed at the awesome talent that is out there. I will be in touch with you all by Sunday evening but I am aiming for tomorrow evening if all goes well.

First off the winner of the Wax Fruit prize is Anna P. Number 59. Congratulations Anna I will be contacting you to tell you how to collect your prize.

The winner this week will receive a $10 gift certificate to Thats Jazzy Stamp Dreams. This is my friend Sheila's shop and she has some adorable images at great prices. So stop by Thats Jazzy Stamp Dreams and take a look around. Also check out her etsy shop because there are some there that aren't on her site yet.


This week we would like you to do an easel card. They are really fun and alot easier than you would think. There are lots of great tutorial out there for you to use if you are new to easel cards. Here is one from Splitcoast Stampers.

Since our new dt has not been choosen yet, and our current members have been busy this week, I am sharing several cards that I have done for inspiration.

 Here is one from Linda

We hope you will play along with us this week. Be sure to post your new project by Friday.

Thanks for joining us for another SSDS challenge. So are you all ready for Valentine's Day? I am not, I have gotta go shopping.

DT CALL and a Challenge....

Thanks for joining us for another SSDS challenge! Wow! Is all I know to say about all of the wonderful creations I have been seeing. You ladies have been busy! I know I promised the DT Call to be posted this week but I am running behind still. My little universe seems to be fighting me still this week...ugh.

So before we get to the challenge this week I want to tell you about the DT Call! We are having it a little early this go around since we have lost a few team members.

We have a private yahoo group for the dt members. This is where you will find all challenges, post your challenge projects and chit chat with the rest of the team. This cuts down on emails and gives everyone a chance to get to know each other. I post challenges in advance so that you can work ahead as much as you would like too.
All we ask for is one new project each week to be posted to the group no later than noon EST on Fridays. Every now and then we may ask for an extra project for a special reason but that is rare. We require comments to be left for our participants! This is important, everyone loves getting love for their projects!

If you would like to be a part of our fun little team please send the following to me at ssdschallengeblog@gmail.com I will email you letting you know I got it so if you don't hear from me please send it again!
The term will be from March 1st-Sept. 30th.
Deadline: Saturday, February 26th at 10 PM EST!
1. link to your blog
2. a short bio-please include any design teams you have been on if any
3. 3-5 of your favorite projects
4. let me know if you make sketches, I am always in need of sketches

I will announce the new team shortly afterwards.
We are looking forward to seeing every ones entries! Good Luck and Happy Crafting!

Now lets move on to this weeks challenge! We would like to see dots and stripes together! So have fun! The prize will be a selection of ribbons!
