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. The intros for the new design team members will be up tomorrow. I had a sick kiddo this week and once he was over it I had it. So I got a little behind.

The winner of the sketch from last week is Pinky, with this bright fun card. I love the male card with that color combo! Congrats! Please email me with your info.

The prize this week is a package of metal stencil phrases from All My Memories! I loves these metal phrases!

We want to see a 'Spring has Sprung' project this week! This one should be fun. I know I am looking forward to Spring!!

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.

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!

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.

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!
