Yes that's right July 7th, 2008 was my very first release of a mini kit for a Color Challenge over at SAS (Stone Accents Studio), my first attempt at designing, there you have it :) I had only been digiscrapping for about 3 months and I had no idea what I was doing, whether anyone would like it or if it would actually make a good page ... LOL, if you want a good giggle then check out the post.

Now one year down the track, I've had a few Stores and finally settled on my original Store at SAS ... where I feel most at home.

To celebrate this auspicious occassion, lol, I have made a special Birthday Kit called 'Birthday' which has 18 papers and 63 elements and is on SALE with the rest of my Store at 40% Off for the entire week 7-14. With this kit I've put together some lovely freebies for you and if you were already a subscriber to my Newsletter you would have also recieved other 'exclusive' newsletter freebies.

PUZZLE
I'll be having a 'Puzzle Game' all week long, you will have to search my blog each day for three Puzzle pieces, at the end of the week the pieces must be arranged to spell something??? and then you may be one of the lucky winners to receive a $10.00 Coupon to my Store, there are two to give away. There will be 20 pieces altogether.
GAMES

I will also be having a 'Progressive Scrap' which will take place at SAS, each day I will be giving you papers or elements so that you can progressively make a page by the end of the week, you must complete one stage before receiving the link for the next freebie, the winner will receive a kit of their choice from my Store.

SAS Newsletter and New Designer Program

The SAS Newsletter is now out, the format is a little different when viewing it online from when you receive it by email as the email itself contains lots of news. It may be a great idea to get on over to SAS and sign up for the Newsletter so you don't miss out on any of it next time :)

And, for anyone who's ever wanted to be a Designer but never knew if they had what it takes, have a look at this new program over at SAS.

Having Fun

Well my Daughter had a 'Medievil Day' at school yesterday and we had to come up with a costume for her, not wanting to spend alot of money I had to use my creativity!!!


This is what I made using two sheets of silver cardboard on Tuesday afternoon, hubby quickly made the shield from leftover ply and she was set, I'm quite happy with the results and she was thrilled.


Of course, Jnr had to play with the helmet and get a photo too :)

PUZZLE PIECE NO. 17

STAY TUNED - BIRTHDAY BASH COMING SOON

If you haven't already signed up for my Newsletter then I strongly advise you to do that because my next one will certainly coincide with these dates and you won't want to be missing the unique gifts in this issue :) My Newsletter will be fortnightly until further notice.

Strange

Well today I did something a bit different, I went on my DD's and my DS's laptops and had a look at my blog, wow, the colors looked so washed out on the laptops, I didn't realise that happened???? They reassured me it was quite alright, but nonetheless, I was a bit disappointed that people may view my kits in a 'not so colorful' light ......

I hope you all see my kits in a colorful light :)
