Introducing: Elegance in the Park

My mom & dad love me. They love my kids even more, though seriously who wouldn't? They're adorable. Anyway, when my dad retired he had more time & so they sold their big house & got two condos. Also big. One back in California, and one here in North Carolina.

I tell you all this because the condo here in North Carolina used to have an owner who was very into catalogs. That woman gets every catalog under the sun. And one of those catalogs inspired my new kit: Elegance in the Park. Phew! Now you know.

Elegance in the Park is done in classic shades of black & white with a hint of fresh, spring, green. Neutral elements create inspiration for layouts perfect for boys and girls. This kit includes 14 papers and 34 elements; including several clustered elements, preshadowed and ready to use.

Kit includes: shadowed frame - tif file! Clustered ivy & bow, Fun tree, Backwards staple, Two ribbon with bows, Two real bows, 1 Lace bow, 2 lace ribbons, Sparkling gem, Lantern, pre-shadowed, Park bench, 2 clustered ribbon frames, Stepping stones, path, Torn netting,
Windchimes, Old wooden frame, Green bird, Birdbath, Doodle bird, Birdhouse, Frame cluster, 2 Dahlias, 1 fence, Ivy, 1 fence & ivy cluster, Safety pin and 3 throw pillows. Not all elements are show in the previews:

And a little freebie to whet your appetite. Please note that I'm now offering my freebies only for one week:

New Welcome Kit at SAS!

I almost don't need to type here... but I will. I am me after all. I thought that with SAS coming under new ownership (uh, me, LOL) that it needed a new Welcome to SAS kit as well! I've mentioned how much I love Stone Accents Studio many times, and I've mentioned it's because of the people there. The Designers, the CT, the scrappers.

This gorgeous kit is just proof positive why it's such a warm & fuzzy place because the Designers got together to create this beauty to share with all y'all! It is a wonderful representation of their work and a shining example of the teamwork at our store. We hope all of you out in scrapland enjoy it!

SAS Newsletter!

The SAS newsletter is out! It's the first one in a while, and the first one since I've been helming the ship. Let me tell you, helming is hard work. But I'm getting the hang of it and I'm started to get excited for the future at SAS. We are just brimming with plans and ready to spring some major F-U-N on our fellow scrappers.

A teeny bit of fun you can already enjoy is the new feature in our newsletter called "SAS-y Shooting Star". A little close-up of a Designer, CT, scrapper in SAS-y's world. This month it's ME! And as an added bonus I made the little mini kit sampler above. So pop on in, take a look and find a freebie or two.

I can't breathe!

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.
