Wow! May has arrived in full force...

... and there are a lot of new activities going on. First, mark your calendars for the next Scrap 'N Chat at DSO. It's Monday, May 12th at 9:00 pm Eastern time. Join us in the chatroom (link at the top of the forum page) for a free template and lots of fun! If you post a LO to the gallery using the template, you'll get this posting bonus. It's a Quick Page made using Viva Festiva... which, by the way, is the daily download this month at DSO, so check it out every day to get all the pieces FREE!

Here's a layout I made using this QP. It's my two boys and my niece and nephew from many years ago.

Also new at DSO, our very own Luisa is moderating a Spanish Section of the forum. If Spanish is your primary language (or, if you're like me and want to see how much of your high school Spanish classes you can remember), head on over and check it out!

The beginning of a new month means new challenges in the forums. My SAS-y Self Challenge is posted at Stone Accents Studios. Of course, this is an All About Me challenge and the challenge this month is to create a layout or two about your closest friends. I know, it's hard to narrow down which ones to write about. I picked two of mine - Carmen, because we've been friends forever, and Wendy, because of the circumstances that brought her into my life. It's a two-page spread created with my Girlicious kit.

The Posting Bonus for this month's SAS-y Self challenge is a lovely part of the Mother's Day Brunch kit. (Don't forget, you can get ALL the parts of this pretty kit just by completing the challenges at SAS.)

Speaking of Girlicious, this is the featured kit at SAS's Designer Give-Away Challenge for the month of May. What this means is, you can purchase the kit for 50% OFF, and if you post a layout to the gallery using this kit, you'll get this exclusive posting bonus for free! This bonus is only available by completing the DGAC challenge this month, so be sure to check it out!

(Note: You have to follow the link to the forum and request a COUPON CODE for Girlicious. It is not automatically marked down in the store.)

Here's your freebie for this week. It's a Quick Page using My Guy. Please, no hotlinking or sharing the link. Enjoy, and don't forget to visit the rest of the Humpday Hunnies! (Check the sidebar.) Click here.
