Annual SAS Designer Competition


Last year at this time I was debating whether or not to enter the Stone Accents Studio SAS-y Lady contest. Wondering if I had what it takes to be a Designer. I knew I had the desire, the love, the creativity inside me but I wasn't sure I was good enough. Despite having worked with photoshop for more years than I'll ever admit to, digital scrapbook design, print quality work, was still new & very challenging to me.

But I entered. And I was one of the three winners! I lived & breathed SAS during the contest. I live & breathed SAS in the months after the contest as I got used to the life of a Designer. Things that take me minutes now, took hours then. What a difference a year makes.

But I still live & breath SAS. Now as the owner. Like I said in that original announcement life spins in mysterious ways. I am again beyond excited that it is time for the Stone Accents Studio SAS-y Lady contest. I am thrilled to be a the helm, versus a nail-biting contestant. I can't wait to see the new crop show their stuff, and I really can't wait to see who will join the team this year!

If you are at all interested in Designing, if you have some experience, or even if you sell at a store or two... I highly recommend joining in the fun! It is a fantastic learning experience, a super way to make friends and terrific exposure to a big audience. You can learn more, sign up HERE.

Just for fun I dug through my entries last year & picked out my favorite tidbit: my Fall Alpha created using the felt action by the fabulous Atomic Cupcake, enjoy:

Going, going GONE!


(preview from my Beauty Unsurpassed kit, my favorite)

Hello faithful followers & Squealerfan! Ooof, a little blogging hiatus there while I recuperated from the frenzy that was the Next Designer Contest over at Stone Accents Studio. Actually, honestly, I've recuperated fully and am well on my way to Designing Heaven. Those of you slow on the uptake, yep! I'm a Designer. I won thanks to all of you!

Now all those fabulous kits that were given away as freebies during September are slowly being taken down by all the wonderful contestants who participated. And that means mine too are soon to be taken off of 4share. You've got till Friday, folks, to snap up these amazing freebies before they hit the retooling shed for repackaging and, unfortunately guys, pricing.

Little caveat here, my first kit for this contest, My Soldier, My Hero, will remain a freebie. My thank you to all the wonderful Men & Women who so proudly and honorably serve our country.

Those of you still jonesing for more freebies... I urge you to run, not walk, over to Stone Accents Studio (SAS) and check out the Designer Contest gallery. There are still some freebies listed but they are fading very quickly. However, don't despair, the wonderful Design team alway has fabulous freebies listed in their store, with their newsletter, and as Designer giveaways. So take a browse, register and join in the fun!
