Several weeks back we announced that we were invited to be the design team for The Paper Mill Store.
Part of this joining of forces was to move our blog over to the TPMS site.
We do hope you'll join us at our new home. We have lots in store!
Join us here: TPMS / WWP Blog

ps - you will need to resign up for the blog feed when you get to the new site.
Ok so I'm a few days late, but with very good reason. We are in the process of some COOL changes with the blog, so we've been wrapped up in that. However you'll have to sit tight til we are ready to unveil!
So back to regularly scheduled blogging.....
First up is our April Guest Designer - Kathy Marie Perez. Welcome Kathy Marie!
Check out the Guest Designer Gallery for this great project and others that Kathy Marie has created for us. Look for more later this month.
Next, I know we have a March / April Sketch Challenge that goes until April 15th. However we are trying to get back in the swing of a monthly Sketch Challenge. So to get it running for the month we are going to throw in a full April Challenge. This great little sketch was designed by Stephanie, thanks Steph!
Here is Stephanie's BRIGHT version of the card which you can view here in the Sketch Challenge Gallery along with the other great cards from the design team.
So give this design a whirl then email your project to me at wwppapergirl@gmail.com along with your supply list no later than Wednesday April 30th.
A winner will be chosen from the entries to receive a pack of Cascata as well as a pack of our AWESOME Inkjet Vellum. This will get you ready for next months challenge!
*note: we only ship to US and Canada addresses
One last item....last month the dt had some strick guidelines to design by and they came through with flying colors (colors of green, hehe). So I want to thank them for stepping up because there were some awesome projects! Be sure to check out the final March projects in the galleries. However I'll give you a peek at this one, it's super cute!!! Check out this great way to welcome spring by Kimber here.
The gals loved the challenge so much that we are going to focus on another product this month. Hopefully this will give you ideas on all the possibilities of a particular line. So this month we've chosen Ruche.
Kim asked us last month with some Limes "Is your Life Sweet?" and now this month she's started with more questions "What do you do when life gives you Lemons?". This is a great project for a paper of this texture! Check out this awesome little card here. Then stay tuned for more Ruche creations!
I do believe that's it for the updates! Be sure to give the challenges a try - we can't wait to see your creations!
Enjoy!

It's MONDAY!
We are closing out March and getting ready for April!
Roxann took the 'recycled' theme very serious this month with this great wall piece. You can check it out here. She even used a grocery sack!
We also have a special card in for the March / April sketch challenge. Donalda is a constant viewer and participator on our blog. She emailed in her version of the challenge. The stamp she used however was designed by one of our Design Team Members. Our dt members have a plethora of talent! Check out who the designer was here.
Check around the galleries for all the new projects loaded up over the weekend. Then check back tomorrow for the April news!
Have a great day!

I can feel the excitement in the air! I think we have some Monday morning winners!!! What a great response from you all for this little Easter hunt!
We have a few things to cover this morning, but we'll start with the Easter Hunt winners:
Comment Winner: Laura
Question Winner: Chris Hochrein
Congrats!!! Please email me here with your shipping address so I can get your box o' goodies out to you!
Next to round out March and merge into April we have a sketch challenge for you. It's been a bit since we've done one. This cool sketch was provided by dt member Cindy Roland.
Once you complete your version of this sketch please email me a photo of your project along with your supply list. Those entries will then be posted on our blog in the Sketch Challenge Gallery. Entries need to be received no later than April 15th, 2008 (yes that's TAX Day here in the U.S.). A winner will be chosen from all the entries and announced on Monday April 21st. *note: we only ship to U.S. and Canada
The winner will receive: 12x12 sample pk of Cascata and a 12x12 pack of Ruche
You'll LOVE these 2 new lines!
Here is Cindy's version of the sketch and you can check out the details here along with another card she also created from the sketch.
Kim has also added her version in the Sketch Challenge Gallery which you can find here.
We are also nearing the end of the month and we have one last project from our guest designer Julie Buhler. This great Friendship Tin! She certainly put ColorMates to great use! Check out the details of this project here.
We always ask our guest designers, as well as our regular designers what their favorite WWP products are. Julie wanted to with hold her answer until she played with the papers more. Well she finally chimed in:
"My favorites are the Ruche, the Petallics and the DoubleMates!!"
DoubleMates? I do believe this line will go down in history as being a favorite across the board!
Thanks again Julie for all your great designs for March!
Wow what a packed Monday! Sorry for the LONG post. But it's all good stuff!
Have a great Monday!

In my email of course! lol
Robin made this awesome egg which you can check out here.
If I remember correctly Kim Frantz challenged the other DT members to make some eggs, so apparently Robin took her up on the challenge.
Great job! Love it!
Don't forget about the Easter Hunt which is going on through this Sunday.
Have a wonderful day!

Easter is almost here and you are probably getting baskets ready for the little ones. So what do you get for Easter? We have the answer to that! We've 'crafted' a little Easter Hunt just for you!
You have 2 chances to win at this hunt.
1 - peek around the site and look at all the NEW awesome projects we've loaded up and leave some comments
2 - answer the below questions and email the answers to me at wwppapergirl@gmail.com
Winners will be announced Monday EARLY morning March 24th. One winner will be chosen from the comments and one from the email questions.
What are the prizes you ask? Do you tell your kids ahead of time what you put in their Easter baskets? You guessed it, not telling! However I will give you a hint, that it's a wonderful texture and you can use it in your crafts, and the colors are beautiful!
So for the questions:
1 - What paper line did Kim make her easter egg from
2 - Who's card was titled 'Grow Old With Me'
3 - How did Robin make the Gold at the end of her Rainbow in her altered book
Have fun!

*sorry we only ship to the U.S. and Canada
Kim's house is certainly ready! I found this beautiful basket in my inbox this morning. Again, I'm amazed at what can be done with cardstock! Check out this great basket. Kim also shares a bit of how she made this great project. If you take a peek it will again reconfirm why we LOVE DoubleMates!
