Sponsor for November 1st-November 8th, 2007

We at Chit Chat Challenge believe in celebrating creativity. We want to support crafters and scrap artists from near and far and have teamed up with several Etsy shops and kits clubs to bring you some fabulously fun prizes.

Our first sponsor is Cupcake Scrapshop,  a yummy and creative kit club that offers fabulous monthly kits and cupcake recipes. Colleen, the owner, says that although the combination may seem strange, it is perfectly logical because cupcakes and scrapbooks are her two most favorite things. Chit Chat Challenge is so thrilled that Cupcake Scrapshop is sponsoring our first challenge. Their kits are bright and fun and sure to please. You will want to stop by Cupcake Scrapshop and see what creativity they are baking up this month!
