ReplyDeleteOh! This sounds fabulous! Looking forward to it :o)
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds like so much fun! I`m totally in!! I just got my first SC kit and love it! This series of challenges will give me tons of inspiration to use my amazing new kit and add ons!
ReplyDeleteFAB challenges!! I am sooo gonna get scrappy now - but i have one question: is it necessary to use one of your kits or can we use any paper?
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Thanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteI am so into this...I hope to get past Monday and join in on the fun here.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I need a major kick in the pants and this is perfect. Lots of fun challenges that will keep me busy even long after NSD and this party is over. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! We will be able to post the same lo for more than 1 challenge, right?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like so much fun! Do we have to use Studio Calico kits to make the layouts though?
ReplyDeleteSame question here ... do we have to use Studio Calico kits to enter a challenge?
ReplyDeleteNo you don't, ladies! Studio Calico kits are not required. :)
ReplyDeletegot my list set... now to get those pictures printed! hope that i can get a few of these done :)

ReplyDeleteWow Dav, thanks for posting them all I was in the beginning of doing some serious blog hopping...you just saved me some serious time!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so this is probably a lame question, but I'm not a SC subscriber (yet). Can I still participate in the challenges using product I have - or is it just SC kits? I'm trying to save up so I can join! LOVE your kits!!
ReplyDeleteDitto what Sarah said! I don't have any SC kits... yet!!! Can I play, too? With contraband?
