And our special treat for you... several of the SAS Designers got together and created a Friendship Around the World blog train for you, in honor of National Scrapbooking day. This download will be available for one week.

Here is my contribution to the SAS Friends Around the World Blog Hop. Click on the preview for the download link. Of course, the country I chose to do is Italy. In fact, I used the same swatch as my Ciao Italia kit so if you want even more, make sure to check it out. Click on the preview to download and make sure to follow the blog train (below) to snag more Friends Around the World kits. Keep in mind that many of our design team lives in different time zones, so if you come across a blog that doesn't have their part posted yet, just make a note of it and come back a little later.
