22nd Edition!
Welcome to the 22nd edition of the Canadian Scrapper's Blog Carnival!
First of all I want to apologize that we do not have a full and complete trip this week. This has been a crazy week at my house, actually it's been a crazy few weeks, and I just didn't have the time to visit the blogs and put together visits from each and every province. Sorry about that. Thankfully, because there are people that actually sent in submissions, there is at least a partial trip this week.
If you want to be sure that your province is represented in the carnival each week, please make sure that you send in a submission. Now, lets get on with the trip and visit with those that invited us to visit this week.
We're going to start this trip in British Columbia where Lois invites us to check out the new picture on her photo contest blog and says "Let's see who can get this one!"
Next we're off to Alberta to drop in for at visit at Scrapbooker's Club House where Ali tells us "We have a very special new feature on our blog called "Supply Salute". It provides information and examples of certain products available in the store. Check out this week's Supply Salute:"Scrapbook Shimmer - Making Memories"."
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations to visit in Saskatchewan or Manitoba this time around so we'll skip over those provinces.
Our next stop is in Ontario where Sue invites us to check out JustCre8's blog to see October Kits Revealed!
No invitations to visit in Quebec this time around, unfortunately so we have to skip over that province.
In New Brunswick we'll stop by for a visit at Noella's "Creatively Yours" where card and LO Designers have been busy interpreting LOTS of sketches by Noella. Be sure to check out the beautiful new Sketch #27 - 12"x12" and interpretations by designers Nicole and Lisanne.
After that we'll pop over to Prince Edward Island for a visit with Tonya as she shares a gorgeous digi recipe card she made for her Mom's Banana Bread recipe.
Our last stop this trip is in Nova Scotia to visit with Ali while she tells us she recently posted A Floral Card with a 3-dimensional floral design. Ali says "I was more than thrilled with the way it turned out! Enjoy!"
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations to visit in Newfoundland and Labrador this time around and I've had such a crazy week that I can't even invite you to visit with me this time. Sorry about that. :)
So that brings us to the end of this week's trip. A very big thank you to those of you that sent invitations this week. This week's trip would not have been possible without you.
Thanks to those of you that came along for the trip. Please be sure to take a moment to let the hosts know that you dropped by their blogs for a visit. You never know how much just a couple of words can brighten someone's day.
Once again I apologize that we didn't have stops in every province this time, but I really need your help each and every week to make that possible. Everyone is welcome, and encouraged, to send in a submission for the carnival every week. I'd love to be over run with submissions each week. :)
If all goes well the next edition of the carnival will be posted next Thursday September 25th. Hope to hear from all of you before then!
