Freebie Doodles and SAS Extreme Makeover Competition

I'm so excited along with the rest of the Team over at SAS, next month there is going to be an 'Extreme SAS Makeover' competition, how cool is that. Everyone will have a chance to design the new look of SAS. They'll be some fabulous prizes for the winners and some great downloads for everyone so mark it on your Calendar now so as not to miss the fun.

Now I have a little freebie here for you, I've been doodling around and thought you may like them :) As always comments are always appreciated.

DOWNLOAD HERE

Oh and if you hadn't already heard, SAS loves it's members both old and new and she has a brand new 'Welcome Kit' called 'Lilypond' which is available for download free from the SAS-y Store, it's gorgeous with 37 papers and 57 elements you don't want to be missing out on this one.

Making some Changes and Great Layouts by my Creative Team

Have you noticed that I've been making a few changes on by Blog today, I've finally managed to put up a three column template, yeah me .... lol

Well I thought it was about time I showcased some of the beautiful layouts that my Creative Team pump out all the time, they work tirelessly and I have the most Beautiful Gallery to prove it, spend a moment now and have a look at a sampling of their work with a variety of my kits, I certainly appreciate all their wonderful creations.

Freebie ... but The Cottage has Gone

It's with a sad heart that I tell you that due to unavoidable circumstances Cottage Scrapbooks has gone, unfortunately the owners were having trouble with the site upgrade and things happened during this time and the whole site had to be 'disconnected' ..... I met some lovely ladies at the Cottage and I hope to see them around the Digiworld still, if you were one of my customers at the Cottage please be aware that I am still selling at SAS and Scrapladies and you are most welcome to join my challenges at SAS and make yourself comfortable there.

I will really miss the Cottage because it was somewhere I could chat and relax, have a bit of fun and just know that I was welcome no matter what. It's a shame that sites like this close because these are the sites that really make being a Designer or Scrapper enjoyable, the friendships we share.

Well I have this small freebie which has two papers and four elements for you which was to be in the Cottage Mid-Month Newsletter but rather than it going to waste I'm giving it away to you here, enjoy.

Free Quickpage - Easter of Old

Well this is a nice Quckpage for you just in time for Easter, although I'm sure you'll agree it is not limited to Easter layouts.

I've put this together using my new little kit 'Easter of Old' which is a lovely little kit with a nostalgic theme containing 9 papers and 27 elements and it is on Sale for one week only at my SAS-y Store :)

The SAS Newsletter is out again, the first with our new Owner Toiny (and help from Karin Allright) so it's a little smaller than normal while she is still learning the ropes. I'm sure each Newsletter from now on will be bigger and better than the one before.

Breathing New LIfe into SAS

Well the last week has been full of ups and quite a few downs, SAS was almost gone and there were quite a few very sad SAS-y ladies to say the least. It was almost D-day and then the good news came ..... and I quote ...

"I am beyond excited. The world spins in such mysterious ways. Last week things were looking very sad in my world. Stone Accents Studio was losing it's leaders and in danger of closing its doors. Real life has a way of affecting things in the digi world. And vice versa. Because one thing led to another and I have been incredibly blessed... I am the new owner of Stone Accents Studio!I know! I am as stunned as all y'all. And completely, totally excited! Stone Accents Studio was my first "home" here in scrapland. It is still my favorite home. SAS is known for its wonderfully warm, accepting, nurturing environment to scrappers & designers alike. It is my mission to continue to foster that culture as the new owner.I also have a vision to build SAS up into a bigger, brighter version of itself. I am doubly blessed to have some of the most fabulous designers out there stay with me and see me through this transition. Because it is a transition! So come visit, pardon our dust as we shake things up a little, jostle people into new roles, throw some learning curves (especially me!) and continue to make SAS the friendliest site on the web. "

'Many congratulations to Toiny' who I greatly admire and had the honour of working with not so long ago when we did a collab together called 'Carnival'.

Thankyou Toiny for saving one of the BEST digiscrapping sites .... no no I should say 'homes' on the web, I'm with you all the way :) Ahhhhhhhh life is good
