Super Fun TOOT for Me :o)

So very excited to be tooting this week. I found out recently that I was one of the lucky ladies chosen to be on the first, ever Design Team for the new Pile It On! Challenge Blog. WOO-HOO!!!

More information about the new blog:

The theory behind Pile It On! is to create cards, scrapbook pages or even altered items using MORE THAN ONE challenge! We have found it to be a challenge to see how many challenges we could get into one project.

Here is the concept:

Each Sunday we will give you a challenge. We would like you to incorporate our challenge with at least one other CURRENT challenge from another blog (at the time of posting) to "qualify" to be one of our Three Top Scoops or should there be a prize offered that week.

Hope to see LOTS of you playing along with us!!!
