Hello all you lovely ladies!  I just wanted to keep you updated with some fun new happenings and W&W news!  We have been swamped the last couple months and have hardly been able to keep our heads on straight!  But now that things are settling down a bit, we have been making some changes and becoming a little bit more organized!  As things continue to grow and expand here at W&W, we have found the need for a larger Site CT, as well as individual CT's, and have added a few wonderful new members.  So watch the team section of our site for those announcements and updates soon! We wanted to thank the awesome Chere Kaye Edwards for all her help as Creative Team Coordinator as we switch things around- she does so much for us, as does all our amazing CT members!!  We are also really excited to announce the wonderful Andrea Dumalski who will now be putting out our newsletters for us and doing a million other things for us!  We could not do all that we are doing without all these hard working ladies!

Thanks to all of you that contributed and made your awesome blinkies, it is going to be hard to only pick a couple, but we will announce the winners very soon, and those blinkies will be available soon as well!

We are excited to start up a new schedule releasing NEW products every Friday!  One of us W&W girls will release something every week, and there will be an accompanying newsletter letting you know what those new releases will be.  And furtherly, you will WANT to sign up because often there will be fun little goodies, freebies, or coupons in the newsletter - to say thank you for your wonderful support and to keep things fun around here!

Old School challenge winner

Before I announce the winner I want to apologize to you for taking so long. Looks like I really have to work on my time management. I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

Now to the challenge: there were so many beautiful entries, it was very hard to decide on just one winner. Thank  you all for sharing your gorgeous layouts. I have mailed the desktop wallpaper set to all participants. This is what is looks like:

The  winner of the gift certificate is Petruschka, her layout is absolutely stunning. She used elements and papers from 4 different Weeds&Wildflowers kits and mixed them so expertly that one would think it was all from one. The vintage newspapers and old wood paper creates a lovely neutral background for the faded square scraps of colored and painted paper. I love that she close-packed the framed scraps to create a background for the cute photo. The photo is tinted to reflect the neutral background. Petruschka rounded off her layout with different metal fasteners and elements.

Congratulations Petruschka.

Thank you all for participating.

Cheers, Angie aka IkeaGoddess

CT Highlight - dypecek

Hi everyone! Jess Gordon here with a CT Highlight. I love looking at the gallery of dypecek, my fellow team member from Heidi William's CT! I thought you all might enjoy a closer look at this talented scrapper, so here are some fun facts I learned when I interviewed her recently:

Her name is Katerina and she lives in Czech Republic. She is enjoying maternity leave with her daughter and loves scrapping, photography, her daughter, cooking and her darling. Doesn't she sound like a sweetie :)? She loves W&W design, and finds it very inspiring. She also loves the friendly atmosphere of the W&W CT forum. Katerina started digi scrapping about 1 1/2 years ago - her first project was Valentina´s calendar, and now scrapping is her number one hobby! When I asked what inspires her she replied  "my daughter - she is lovely!"

Here are Katerina's (dypecek) two favorite pages from her W&W gallery. I agree, they are beautiful!

My Little Teddy Bear

Flower Girl

I also love the following pages:

Valentina

Little Santa

With pages that are sure to catch your attention and photos to warm your heart, I'm know you will find something you love in dypecek's gallery!

Three things challenge

Hello ladies,

Here is Ingeborg (ikscrap) having a new challenge for you :)

Annie (laughterqueen) has made this great challenge but because she is away and has a bad internet connection I am posting it for her.

So here is the challenge: And I think its a very fun one this time :)
Three things challenge:

requirements:

1) Use a one word title
2) Use two photos
3) Use three frames
(Note: The same photo can be repeated)

This is the example Annie made:

Annie wrote:

I'd love to see some creative uses of three frames and two photos. As you can see from my example I'm submitting for the challenge I used one of the photo's twice, but really have fun with it and use any creative combinations like maybe using two of the frames to hold the photos and then the third frame to hold the title. Use the same photo in all three frames and blend the second photo into the background, or any other number of creative options!

And this is what the CT ladies made of it :)
