Hello everyone!

We have a special post today even though it's Friday :)

It's also the 15th of the month-you know, "that" time again! Yep! Time for the LPS DT challenge!

A while back, Silvia challenged the Little Paper Shop DT to create a 3D item for our monthly DT challenge. You might have guessed this, but I'm not real big on the whole 3D/altered item category.

SO, this was definitely a challenge for me, but I am glad we did it! Nice to get forced out of your comfort zone every now and again, right?

Here's what a few of us came up with:
