September Challenge #4

Hi everyone!!!

WOW what an exciting month September has been for us here at Once Upon A ...Sketch teaming up with Color Stories Inspiration. Today we reveal the last of 4 challenges and I want to take a moment to thank Debbi Tehrani for all the hard work it took to coordinate these challenges behind the scenes and the professional way she dealt with everything. Thank you Debbi for this wonderful collaboration. It has been lots of fun!!

Huge thanks to my Design Team as well, for accepting this challenge even though I know that it can be tough working with colours and other prerequisites so THANK YOU so much for your fuss free attitude. Really helps out :)

Thank you also to all of you that played along in our challenges so far and embracing the changes this month. I appreciate the fact you all welcomed the twist in the challenges and enjoyed the idea Debbi and I had. I sure hope you all got to know Color Stories Inspiration a bit better and enjoy playing along there :)

We are so incredibly happy to welcome a brand new sponsor to our blog this month, one that is a fave amongst many of our designers including my self. Please help me welcome the incredibly stunning paper company 7 Dots Studio
7 Dots Studio is a polish scrapbooking company. It was created by a mom of 2 little children, who loves scrapbooking and cannot sit in one place for longer than a while :) Dream could come true, because of two friends - Finnabair (Anna Dąbrowska-Pękocka) and Anai (Anna Iwanowska-Pietkiewicz). Wonderful women, scrapbookers and designers, who love creating. We launched our first two lines in Autumn 2011 - they were extremely warm welcomed by scrapbookers from all over the world. We always choose best possible materials – we are also scrapbookers and we know, how important is the quality of products, which we use to make our memories live forever! We love working with many kinds of media and all our products are media friendly.
Our products are sold in many shops across the Europe and also in Australia and USA. You can find constantly updated list of our retailers on our website in section "where to buy".
