Default Paving Stones over Concrete

I am planning on redoing my whole front yard, new grass, new walkway, and
new driveway. I want to get rid of the fugly concrete driveway and walkway,
replacing it with shaped paving stones, like the kind that interlock.

I'm going to tear out the existing walkway and place a new one one a
different path.

For the driveway, I want paving stones, but if I can save myself a whole lot
of work, I will.

I'd like to place the stones over the driveway, cutting out only a little of
the concrete where it meets the sidewalk so it will slope down. I also want
to raise everything a couple inches, which will make some of the other
projects I have planned a little easier.

Is there a problem with this? I was thinking of cementing or otherwise
attaching the paving stones to the slab. It's about 8' wide and 30' long.

Thanks!
