Here we go......

... WoHoooo......

Hello everyone and a huge welcome back. WOW, I have loads to share with you today so lets get right on track shall we....

First of all, I must say a huge thank you to all you lovely ladies who left me such sweet comments welcoming me back. I sure did miss you all and Im really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things both here and over at SAS. Mwahhhh xxx

I'd love to show you my latest kit if I may. After such a long absence I felt like I was just dilly-dallying, twiddling my thumbs with nothing to do so this kit earned itself the name Daliance. Its a bit of a mix of whimsy and vintage so something for all tastes. Although its priced very competitively its BIG so great value for money too and this week its on special off with a massive 30% off its usual price of $3.50. Store here

You also get this gorgeous mini kit artsy style add on FREE with your purchase. How cool is that? I'm sure you'll love playing around with it. Use it up and wear it out, its got enough in there for lots of lo's. Best of all, its S4H friendly. Keep checking back this month on the blog as Im sure there will be lots of gorgeous lo's to Inspire you as well as the odd little freebie to go with the kit.

SASy Color Challenge for September

I am soooooooooooo happy to be doing the fantastic SASy Color Challenge again. This month I started out with a little mini Starter kit for you to join in with if you wish but I got carried away and along with our wonderful Blossom Michelle, I ended up making quite a bit more so YOU get to enjoy even more FREE for this month only.

You can grab the kit via my SAS store FREE. Please check out the color challenge too and have a go. We LOVE to see what you come up with. You can use my starter kit to create a lo. Use at least three of the color challenge colors and any kit of your choice (please remember credits in your post) to create your lo and you can even have a go at creating your own QP's or mini kits using at least three of our colors for this month to share with us all. You'll find all the rules and instructions over at SAS here. Its as easy as pie so have a blast.

New SAS Guidelines for Challenges

AS is changing it's ways. Our challenges are still alive & well and, well, challenging. But we've made some changes in the way we are running them:

Posting Bonuses will no longer be a part of SAS.

Instead we are moving to a point system.

Each challenge offers each participant 10 points for the first LO, 5 points for each additional LO.

If a participant completes all challenges in one month, she earns a 100 point BONUS.

100 points = $1 to the store.

Points may be redeemed at any time.

Now, individual Designers (most notably Boo & her Colour Challenge, and Kimberkatt with the Template Challenge) may still do some "starter" freebies... however, all challenges will give points not posting bonuses (aka mini kits) as participation prizes. The good news for you is coupons are as good as cash! And who doesn't love money????

and as promised here is the first of several Blog Freebies to match my September Color Challenge Starter Kit. This is a huge ALPHA. Perfect for Titles or reduce the size as you wish for smaller needs. The first part is the complete Upper Case. You will be able to collect the rest of the alpha during this month so keep checking back. Grab it here

ps thanks so much for your awesome welcome back and great comments. Please keep them coming, we thrive on your input. :)

News and Freebie...

OMG.... had it really been THAT long since I last posted?? Where on earth did the time go? Ok, so most of you will know I've had major issues with my pc etc. I didn't manage to get a new pc sadly, thats still in the pipeline though, but at least I got this one working to a degree so I've been frantically trying to catch up with everything. I didn't want to post until I had a little treat for you all too.

Anyway..... here's the update for you all.

BooLand Store

You may have noticed that my header has disappeared??? I just did and it seems my store is not available?? It may well be that somewhere in this mountain of emails there is one from the hosts telling me my subscription is due. If that is the case, and I think it is, then this is as good a time as any to have a good old clear out. I don't plan on re opening my store at the moment since there is so much going on with my other stores but for all those who purchesed products from there recently, please be assured that your links should still be active for 45 days following your completed order.

Now, yipeeee, cause that means BooLand can have a nice fresh Makeover hehe. Ohhhhh what shall it be?? Got any suggestions??

New Stores

BooLand recently opened a new store at DigiDesignResort, Wohooooo. I've only got a few of the kits uploaded to the store at the moment but I will be adding them bit by bit along with new ones I'm in the process of creating so do keep an eye open for that.

I am also delighted to announce that as of today BooLand will also be selling at WeScraps. For those of you who love to scrap traditionally (paper) and Hybrid, you'll love this store as it has just about everything you could possibley need for your hobby. And today, for the first time, they have opened their doors to include a whole Digital section so you are truly going to be spoiled for choice. Check them out here.

Opening Soon....

And I have yet more news.... oh yes....lol... Keep your eyes open for a brand new super dooper digi store opening its doors very soon. Its going to be awesome with tons of lovely new things, great challenges and competitions and goodies and some awesome Designers too so keep your eyes and ears open for news of its launch date. I can't tell you more just yet but I can tell you that I will have two brand new kits ready for the Grand Opening and a little bird tells me there is to be a fab Grand Opening Sale too, wohoooooooo. I'll pop a little tease on here soon.

Best news of all....

As Im sure many of you know, my first digi home, SAS, has recently undergone some very difficult times with our lovely sasy owner, Julie, going through a very difficult time to the point where she felt unable to continue SAS. We really thought SAS was about to close (arrgghhh) but thankfully, the day was saved when Toiney aka PiggyScraps stepped up and took on the challenge. Way to go Toiney.

OMG, she is doing just an awesome job at SAS with all sorts of fantastic things planned and the forums are full of excitement for the future. We have new Designers on board including our very own Blossom Trudie, aka ScrapBrat (isn't she awesome) as well as new challenges being created, competitions being hatched with fantastic prizes and the atmosphere is WONDERFUL, I LOVE my SAS. Be sure to check it all out here and sign up for the newsletter for even more treats.

BIG SAS COMPETITION NEWS

Make sure you check out this link. SAS are holding a FANTASTIC new competition with the most awesome prizes. its time for a SAS EXTREME MAKEOVER

All the info for the competition is there. It starts May 1st so be sure to get on over there and sign in for your chance to win. Good Luck everyone. I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Freebie and Kims April Grab Bag

Finally, how could I not pop in and go without leaving a goody for you all. Especially when you've all been sending me so many lovely messages which I've truly appreciated. Today I have a little mini for you. Its KimB's gorgeous April Color Challenge and this is my take on the swatch. Yes, I know the package says MAY but I got so excited at having my CS3 back I forgot what month I was in lol.

Oh yeah, I don't know if the special offer is still on but Kim has a fab CU grab bag out this month packed with super goodies as always so if you get chance, get over to DSO and grab it while its on offer. I'm sure it runs out at the end of May so not much time.
