LPSC40: Get "Digified"!

Hello all...

What a wonderful turn out we had for last week's sketch!  Thankfully we choose our winners via random.org because there were some FANTASTIC submissions this week!  Thank you SO much to everyone who's been playing along!

Congrats are in order for JESSICA, this week's WINNER!!!!  TOTALLY terrific take on the LPS sketch this week and just look at that CUTE {Jena Witch} stamp she used!  LOVE IT!  (love your name, too, LOL!)  Please email Julia to claim your prize!  Congrats again!

This week's challenge is bittersweet for ALL of us on the LPS DT.   This week, we are using a challenge issued by the PHENOMENAL Mel McCarthy who we all know and love.   This will be Mel's last LPS challenge as she will be moving on from the Little Paper Shop as of today and we will ALL miss her terribly!

I would like to personally thank Mel, and also thank her on behalf of the LPS DT girls for being a ray of sunshine and burst of AMAZING creativity for us always.  You are a real gem, an amazing talent, and just about the SWEETEST person I know, so please know that you will be missed and that we all adore you!   Thank you for all you've done, Mel!

On that note, I will get to our challenge, LPSC40, "Stampified Digis".   Your mission this week is to use A DIGI AND a reg. stamp on your card or project!  Don't have any digis?  NO PROBLEM!  Just check out the Free digi section on the LPS Forum and you're good to go!  All you need is INK...and you know what, if you're me this week that can be a real problem, LOL!

Well, if you CAN participate, there is another great prize at stake, as always!  This week, one lucky winner will receive {Katie Caroler}!  Good luck!


Here are some inspiring samples from the DT, starting with our wonderful Mel:

How's that for an amazing lineup?  So festive...I LOVE IT!   Can't wait to see what you can do!  Leave a comment here showing us the link to your creations and we can't wait to check them out!  Happy Monday, everyone!

A MERRY and BRIGHT Release...

...is HERE!

HAPPY RELEASE DAY, everyone!!!

Today is the day! Little Paper Shop is releasing FOUR new sets:

{Caroler}
{Christmas Tags}
{Katie Christmas}
and
{Merry and Bright}

In celebration of our HUGE (and quite fantastic, I must say) release, ALL FOUR of these new sets are 10% off for a limited time on the LPS Website! Happy Shopping and head on over!

Before you do, we have another set to showcase today...our Fourth Holiday release, {MERRY and BRIGHT}. But first thing's first...CONGRATS to KRIS! You are the winner of {Katie Christmas} from yesterday's comments! Thanks to all who participated...we had a great time reading what your favorite traditions are!

We also have an EARLY CHALLENGE for you today, to celebrate World Cardmaking Day! Our Monday challenge will resume on October 12, but for this coming week, we are issuing our Monday challenge a few days early....TODAY!

YOUR mission, should you choose to accept, is to create a card, layout or altered item using NON-TRADITIONAL Christmas Colors (aka not red/green). Now, it's ok if you have a bit of one or both in your card, but the majority of the card should be non-traditional. You might find this easier than you may think seeing as how there are some CUTE new paper packs out there this year that are not the "norm"...and I LOVE it!

Here are some cute, cute samples from our DT:

Designed by JessicaDesigned by JenDesigned by CindyDesigned by AnnDesigned by Allison
Designed by HeatherDesigned by SilviaDesigned by Bonnie

Designed by PamI absolutely LOVE all the examples of what you can do without the traditional Red/Green! Great samples from the team, don't you think?

So what's the prize for this challenge to use Non-Traditional Holiday colors? Well....'tis the season for giving, right? ONE lucky winner will be chosen to receive the ENTIRE OCTOBER RELEASE!!! That's FOUR sets! How's that for a surprise? Good luck to all who enter and play..and be sure to use keyword LPSC36 if you upload to SCS, etc.

We will be back for a brief update this Monday (the 5th) with the winner of last week's sketch challenge and an update on the sale, if supplies start to get low. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Thanks for sticking with us this week and we hope you've enjoyed what you've seen!
