ON TO THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!

We are picking things up this week with what I think is one of the most FUN SONGS EVER!!! It's Love Shack by the B-52's!!! We had an absolutely groovy time scrapping to this one and we hope you do too!!!!

We are so excited to announce our sponsor for this week! It's...

GINKO PAPERS
who is donating a $15.00 gift certificate to their super cool store!!!

Ginko Papers brings Japanese paper products, greeting cards, and stationery from far away to your front door!

One of our most popular items is the Japanese masking tape that's hugely popular in Japan and has been catching on in the States. The tape is made by a company in Japan that has specialized in making masking tape for many decades. One day, the idea came to make the tape colored and a new fad was born! The tape is made with Japanese washi paper (a fabric-like, traditional paper) which has been coated. The masking tape is unique in that it can be pulled on and off numerous times and leaves no residue or paper tears. It can also be written on to leave cute organizer notes and messages. The tape is a perfect and fun way to adorn any gift, lunch bag, or scrapbook. I'm sure you'll think of many more uses!

Be sure to visit Ginko Papers today and check out all the fun things they have to offer! Thanks so much to Ginko for being our sponsor this week!
