I Got an Award ~ and This Week's Freebie

Well, well, well... I must say a big "thank you" to my friend Kimberly of Kimberkatt Scraps, who is on my Creative Team and is also our Scrapbird and Stone Accents Studio advertising guru extraordinaire! I woke up this morning and was totally surprised - Kimberly nominated me for this blog award:

What a lovely surprise! Thanks so much, Kimberly. You know I love ya! :) Now I get to pass this on to seven people I think are deserving. Here are the rules:

1. Put the award on your blog.

2. Include a link to the person who gave you the award.

3. Nominate 7 or more blogs.

4. Leave a message on their blog letting them know they have an award on your blog.

Here are my nominees:

1. Sherah of Skrapper Digitals. I love Sherah because she's a down-home country girl, a great mom, and a wonderful designer. Make sure to check out her stuff!

2. Jill of Jill DZines. I first met Jill a few years ago and was on her CT for quite a while before I started designing. Jill is a fantastic designer and I know you'll love her products.

3. Toiny of Piggyscraps Designs. Toiny is the (relatively new) owner of Stone Accents Studio and she is a wonderful person who really cares about her designers. Toiny is in the midst of a huge move so she may be too busy to actually reply to this thread, but you should check out her stuff anyhow - she has some great goodies out there.

4. Charlie of Charlie's Digiscraps. This woman has some beautiful kits available, so hurry on over to her blog to read more!

5. Kristine of Designs by Kristine. What can I say about Kristine? She's a bundle of fun and wit and has some gorgeous products in her store. Oh - don't miss her recipe for Luscious Lemon Bars currently on her blog!

6. Bunny Cates of Digi-Scrap Obsession. Bunny is hilarious, always great for laughs and is also extremely crafty. You will definitely want to read her blog updates.

7. Mistybelle Designs. I love this woman for her seemingly endless energy and her positive attitude. She's an amazing part of the SAS team. She also gives out a LOT of freebies on her blog.

Congrats on the award, ladies - have fun with it. :)

I want to let you know about a couple of mini-kits now in my store. Both of these have a Bonus Quick Page thrown in, which you can see in my sample layout below. These kits are on sale for only 1.70 (including the free Quick Page) for about one more week.

The first one is Mother's Day:

The second new mini is called Baby of Mine:

This week's freebie coordinates with my Everyday Moments kit, currently on sale for 25% off. You can get the entire kit, including a full alpha, for only $3.75!
