playing in paradise

again, apparently Blogger & I are not on the same page for posting! This should have gone up yesterday. I think I need some Blogger lessons!! :)


Good morning! I am super excited to share that I have been asked to be a part of the Scrapbookers Paradise Challenge design team.
It is a local store here in Calgary but the also have an online store.
This week's challenge is brought to you by Merlie, it is a distress challenge.


This was DEFINITELY a challenge for me! I don't really know how to do "distress"! I mean I guess I am physically capable, but working it into a design, not so much. But as i was setting up my craft room (moved recently across the hall) and also my sewing machine, I thought of what I could do.


Yay! I distressed!!
Head over and check out what the other ladies have come up with then play along. You have until noon Thursday October 6th to play along at The Scrapbooker's Paradise blog.

  3. Oh, I love this card! The colors look great together and I really like the sewing. I bought a Janome and it's not seen the light of day yet. Gorgeous!
