Our Birthday Bash kept me hopping all month to say the least. It was a lot of work for all of us to put together and run but I am very pleased with how it went, as a matter of fact we are planning on making this an annual event. For those of you who were not following along, we had to move the forum and gallery in the middle of the Birthday Bash because the site was so busy that it slowed things down. That part was kind of a nightmare for me for a few days but now that it is done I am glad that we did it. One thing that came out of the forum move is that I learned a LOT of things about running a website and it made me want to learn more. I came to the conclusion that you can run a site without knowing everything there is to know about it but now I understand that the more I know about the technical aspect of it the better. For one thing, hiring professional help is VERY expensive and I would much rather be able to do the work myself than to pay someone else to do it. The guy I hired Luke, with <a href="http://puredev.com/">Pure Development</a> is a very honest and capable young man so I would recommend him to anyone that needs help, he was a little in awe of the amount of downloads that we have in a typical month since he has never worked with a digital scrapbook site before…LOL.<br /><br />Now that the Birthday Bash is over and I have had time to recover a bit I am going to be working on ways to make the site better and easier to use for all of our members to use. I am also hoping that I can find some time to design again, the first designing that I have done in the last two months was the October mega kit, if felt good to get back to it so I need to make time for designing again. Speaking of the mega kit, we just released the October Mega kit and as you might have guessed, it has a fall theme, these colors are some of my favorite to work with and I think that you will find it a versatile kit to use.

The SAS Birthday Bash (BB) has been a big hit and I am thrilled beyond words. The first thing I want to do today is to thank everyone for the help and support that they have given to the BB. When we started planning the BB I was little worried because we had so many activity and freebie ideas that it seemed like it might be too much to pull off. Besides the initial slow down and a few glitches with the Designer contest things have gone so well (knock on wood) that I can hardly believe it. None of this could have happened without the great team that we have at SAS. I am so proud of everyone, the designers the support staff, the CT, members, everyone! Something this big takes a lot of coordination and effort, everyone that was asked to take something on jumped right in and worked hard to make it happen. You can be sure that this will be a yearly event.<br /><br />The main glitch that we had, the slowdown was a real pain for a while but SAS members were so supportive that it took the edge off of my panic (yes, I was frantic for awhile) enough that I was able to focus and get it taken care of. I hired a Webmaster and he made suggestions and I implemented the ones that I was capable of doing and that has helped a lot. I am looking to the future of SAS and I want to make sure that we have room to grow so we will probably add an “addition” to our home by moving the forum and gallery sometime soon. <br /><br />We are on day 17 of the Download a Day, to help speed up the site we moved those downloads off the server and you can get the direct links to the DAD in the store under SAS Gifts. If you are just now starting the DAD you will still be getting a huge kit so go check it out. <br /><br />We are in the second round of our Next SAS-y Lady contest. The first round theme was “Our Heroes,” the kits that the contestants made contained elements that could be used to honor heroes, from military to firefighters. These kits are available for download in the Next Designer Contest <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=773">Week 1 gallery</a>. The week 2 challenge was making a kit around a color palette and the contestants did an awesome job, you can download the kits from the week 2 gallery. After downloading them please take the time to vote on your favorites, since it can be tough to choose just one from so many great kits you can choose up to three, the poll is <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=130">here</a>. The round 3 theme will be posted on Thursday.<br /><br />We are also hosting a Member Mega Kit. So far we have some beautiful additions, I hope that this will become the largest digital kit ever made but that will be up to SAS members. If you would like to try your hand at designing you can find the palette <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=122">here</a> and you can download the kits <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=763">here</a>. Our Post the Most contest is heating up, the winner of this contest gets over $200 worth of SAS products of their choice.<br /><br />If you have not been to the site since the first of the month you will be surprised, we redecorated. Sherah of Skrapper Digitals designed the most beautiful header I have ever seen. We are still trying to decide what the final colors will be for the site and you can vote on that <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=134">here</a>. As soon as we pick the colors we will start a Blinkie contest, you can find information about that and all of the other activities in the SAS-y Birthday Bash forum or in the newsletter link below.<br /><br />We released the September SAS Mega kit today and if you are looking for things that go bump in the night this kit is for you. This <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=1736">Halloween themed kit</a> has 95 elements and 65 papers, the regular price is $8.95 but it is on sale for $5.95 until the next mega kit comes out. I have a sampler of the kit below. BTW many of the mega kit are on sale during our BB this month. The <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudioforum.com/newsletter/2008-09-17/index.htm">SAS newsletter</a> came out today and you can download it as a PDF or read it on-line. There are lots and lots of specials along with some newsletter only freebies. Lori has previews of the Designer contest kits along with layouts from the first week’s round and the DAD. Well, if you have not checked out our Birthday Bash I hope that you will come by for the last 2 weeks of the party and help us ROCK the digital world.

In the last year I have had a lot of requests for this kit, it was only the second kit that I had designed so I knew that it would need some work to get it ready. I found stray pixels (my pet peeve) and some really ragged edges on the flowers but all and all I am pleased with how good it looks. I added a frame and a few journaling pieces along with a lower case alpha but it didn’t need much more than that. I have a sampler of it below so you can get a good up close look at it. The kit is on sale for <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_25&products_id=1638">$3 this week</a>. <br /><br />I can share more of the details of our big September Birthday Bash. Last week I mentioned the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Post the Most</span> contest with a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Grand Prize worth over $200</span>, the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Member Mega kit, Candee’s SAS-y Layout Design Challenge</span> (a great learning opportunity,) and our <span style="font-weight:bold;">Designer contest</span>. The big news this week is that SAS is going to have a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Download a Day</span>, this gorgeous kit has <span style="font-weight:bold;">183 elements and 137 papers</span>, the first downloads will be available on September 1st. We will have a month long <span style="font-weight:bold;">Scavenger Hunt</span>, all of the SAS-y Ladies have contributed Brag Book pages, they will be hidden in the store and a list of clues will be given out. We will be giving out <span style="font-weight:bold;">random RAKs</span> all month long, just for posting in the SAS forum you can win coupons for designer products and SAS mega kits. We are still working on a few more things but those will have to be a surprise for now. So if you like a big party plan on spending time at SAS in September, it will be the place to be!!<br /><br />With all of these special things going on <span style="font-weight:bold;">I need another assistant</span>. If you would like to join a great team now is your chance, I am looking for someone that can spend 3 to 4 hours a week posting our Birthday Bash activities, specials and new products in various places. I would like someone that knows their way around the digital world and could commit to this position for at least 6 months, this is a “for scraps” position. If you would be interested email me at stoneaccentsstudio@hotmail.com.<br /><br />Here is the link to the <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-08-27/">newsletter</a>, there are some newsletter only freebies and lots of specials and new products. Some of the sales do not start until the 30th or the 1st so pay special attention to the start dates.<br /><br /><br />SAS Download a Day<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqo4aJsRqvWoVdTJ-wl-fmV5iVtVzUz0jya83FYIli4u9Vb6EPewk_ST-wFoJnXmRcGn4RxpoCEzkv9QyYRfNz1CXlBUrdR-aZrTlkL-oJLudSZN7ceRCKSD8_584tgFCSdBdHNSPZiQ/s1600-h/SAS+DAD+1,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqo4aJsRqvWoVdTJ-wl-fmV5iVtVzUz0jya83FYIli4u9Vb6EPewk_ST-wFoJnXmRcGn4RxpoCEzkv9QyYRfNz1CXlBUrdR-aZrTlkL-oJLudSZN7ceRCKSD8_584tgFCSdBdHNSPZiQ/s400/SAS+DAD+1,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239289095369262978" /></a><br /><br />Close-up of SAS DAD<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0dR_DbRGNBqFpHuuAequDkSNvV9bhQxQ3LaTi5HMub4dqShKZk3wmtdbIJTJHWe0z1pr04N8GKAoNJZVRhKQRse6X10sJ-D3vYZdFnTRc6JDV0g6_EtnN7d0BBO69Ai7CuaFkcovKRE/s1600-h/SAS+DAD+2,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0dR_DbRGNBqFpHuuAequDkSNvV9bhQxQ3LaTi5HMub4dqShKZk3wmtdbIJTJHWe0z1pr04N8GKAoNJZVRhKQRse6X10sJ-D3vYZdFnTRc6JDV0g6_EtnN7d0BBO69Ai7CuaFkcovKRE/s400/SAS+DAD+2,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239289445212546530" /></a><br /><br />Butterfly Garden<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_99nhAkGZII0pFCLrdD66P9dVHc9QqxqZieN5rrWCOWB-yO2lJLcKk7eHu9gHucWcZLJ9jCrywvwI5FovsMg87R1790nchNOEcqhHnetMQI1YZFULDT1yYng3mJsgekOR6Qg8A0VTNJ0/s1600-h/JulieO+Butterfly+Garden+1,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_99nhAkGZII0pFCLrdD66P9dVHc9QqxqZieN5rrWCOWB-yO2lJLcKk7eHu9gHucWcZLJ9jCrywvwI5FovsMg87R1790nchNOEcqhHnetMQI1YZFULDT1yYng3mJsgekOR6Qg8A0VTNJ0/s400/JulieO+Butterfly+Garden+1,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239289668683652610" /></a><br /><br />Butterfly Garden Freebie<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQqUGqHuVATcuxhJzCwMmN_pl885SvRbyZecEHBBP1yh_h7-DLGceh0Z1KOFTj2hCjEEyljwlPCnAdHuHMtshFuDJyK_mvUhk1fiZm0FQfQMrsQkd1ny3tk81MfQvSqZlQcLoFitJE3zU/s1600-h/JulieO+Butterfly+Garden+Freebie+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQqUGqHuVATcuxhJzCwMmN_pl885SvRbyZecEHBBP1yh_h7-DLGceh0Z1KOFTj2hCjEEyljwlPCnAdHuHMtshFuDJyK_mvUhk1fiZm0FQfQMrsQkd1ny3tk81MfQvSqZlQcLoFitJE3zU/s400/JulieO+Butterfly+Garden+Freebie+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239289782459574626" /></a><br /><br />Download Butterfly Garden Freebie <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/various/julieo_butterfly_garden_freebie.zip">Here</a>JulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-12413484791829468692008-08-20T16:08:00.000-06:002008-08-20T16:29:57.105-06:00SAS Mega Kit FreebieWe are getting SO excited about our upcoming birthday celebration in September. We have a full month of special activities and freebies planned for every one. I can tell you about a few more of them today. <br /><br />Candee is hosting SAS-y <span style="font-weight:bold;">Layout Design Challenge</span>, this is an intensive 4 week training course on layout design. Along with learning a lot of things everyone who participates will get prizes and 3 weekly winners will get even more prizes. For more information go to the <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=120">forum</a>. <br /><br />A huge freebie that we have planned will actually come from SAS members, it is a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Member Mega kit</span>. I will post a color palette then everyone that wants to participate can design a kit or papers, embellishments, brag book pages or whatever they would like to make in that palette. Then you preview them in the SAS gallery for members to download. This one will be fun because a lot of people would like to try their hand at designing and this will be a good incentive, I think we will see a lot of creative ideas from this. <br /><br />The last thing I can tell you about this week is a contest that has a GRAND Grand Prize. It is a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Post the Most</span> contest. We don’t have all of the details ironed out yet but basically whoever has the most posts in the SAS forum and gallery during the month of September will win the Grand Prize and that prize is over $200 of free products from SAS, <span style="font-weight:bold;">yes I said OVER $200!!!!</span><br /><br />As you might know we are also hosting a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Designer Contest</span> starting September the 4th. We are looking for a few more designers to add to the team so if you are interested the details are in the <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=88">forum.</a> <br /><br />I have a sampler from our latest mega kit Summer Daze, this kit is so bright and cheerful, just perfect for scrapping those fun filled summer pictures that you took. There are 80 papers and 123 elements in this humongous kit. My contribution includes 24 papers that have a watercolor/Batik look. As usual we have the <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=1584">mega kit on sale for $5.95</a> for the first month so now is the time to get it.<br /><br />You will not want to miss this week’s newsletter, there are lots of great new products and specials along with 6 newsletter only freebies, download it <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-08-20/index.htm">here.</a> <br /><br />I will be back next week with more exciting details about the SAS-y birthday party.<br /><br />SAS August Mega Kit<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDpWdwAi8YbJmTeQK8I13n3tLRIiS9yahyd96mBeobw4_diLc-SfaLPfeJKL3PyMgb6XXMqhS_xC7VzszdjNzFr7QjxXUwOwtwqRnL-ylFB-Fx0gPbLUuUiWfqrsfVzuKnJ0Zl552e2u8/s1600-h/SAS+8-08+Mega+1,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDpWdwAi8YbJmTeQK8I13n3tLRIiS9yahyd96mBeobw4_diLc-SfaLPfeJKL3PyMgb6XXMqhS_xC7VzszdjNzFr7QjxXUwOwtwqRnL-ylFB-Fx0gPbLUuUiWfqrsfVzuKnJ0Zl552e2u8/s400/SAS+8-08+Mega+1,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236728668126265234" /></a><br /><br />Close-up<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFospT2itHaBxY9HYkz3EjO9hyphenhyphend0kxMz08Ht7vGe_ba6sQfcQ3XS3FMlWE_fpqzPJcG7kJwmWqQYtFNfYj2-t4kTLIWV72xqIbynld4QPS8UaVXTuvWE2ulUuGu8YNAF5rR_SMRVPaMVU/s1600-h/SAS+8-08+Mega+2,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFospT2itHaBxY9HYkz3EjO9hyphenhyphend0kxMz08Ht7vGe_ba6sQfcQ3XS3FMlWE_fpqzPJcG7kJwmWqQYtFNfYj2-t4kTLIWV72xqIbynld4QPS8UaVXTuvWE2ulUuGu8YNAF5rR_SMRVPaMVU/s400/SAS+8-08+Mega+2,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236728775806895778" /></a><br /><br />Some Papers<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9HRe1zmOZPkojbiJN_zUHvXtFt7Mdp38bmLBYoH1WyU3NkxpmEJnua0Jh43MWVlSBNfKev4gqf_Dstb1dcdD2YFfvge6iGZczBdOUy6q-4d_udGVHHj8uyGhc3FOdp9L5qfy4nwCNmI4/s1600-h/SAS+8-08+Mega+3,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9HRe1zmOZPkojbiJN_zUHvXtFt7Mdp38bmLBYoH1WyU3NkxpmEJnua0Jh43MWVlSBNfKev4gqf_Dstb1dcdD2YFfvge6iGZczBdOUy6q-4d_udGVHHj8uyGhc3FOdp9L5qfy4nwCNmI4/s400/SAS+8-08+Mega+3,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236728910991490850" /></a><br /><br />Mega Kit Sampler<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ__oo0KT5gnm8SgALUdU4txxEMqviO3uDoVC5tCYoyCn9GMB4nOp3SRXxZ1oOUp7-GUR8EHWChxUlNCG7klIFYGPa-NzldUQ9ihO0PBiyB8NI1oGwyb_wcZElrkHvCjS3bdrbL7SgjUM/s1600-h/SAS+8-08+Mega+Freebie+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ__oo0KT5gnm8SgALUdU4txxEMqviO3uDoVC5tCYoyCn9GMB4nOp3SRXxZ1oOUp7-GUR8EHWChxUlNCG7klIFYGPa-NzldUQ9ihO0PBiyB8NI1oGwyb_wcZElrkHvCjS3bdrbL7SgjUM/s400/SAS+8-08+Mega+Freebie+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236729030667899010" /></a><br /> <br />Download Mega Kit Sampler 1 <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/various/sas_8-08_mega_freebie_1.zip">Here</a><br /><br /><br />Download Mega Kit Sampler 2 <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/various/sas_8-08_mega_freebie_2.zip">Here</a>JulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-43267067474535472022008-08-10T21:29:00.000-06:002008-08-10T21:41:26.415-06:00Memory Lane, All LinksI still don’t know why Memory Lane part 5 didn’t work for so many people, the first time I had a comma in the name but after I fixed it the link should have worked for everybody. I re-zipped and uploaded it 5 times and I even re-saved the elements in case one of them was corrupt but nothing worked. I finally decided that it was cursed and that was that. I had Lori download it and she re-zipped and uploaded it so the 6th time should be the charm. I have put all of the links at the bottom of this post so you don’t have to hunt for them. I changed the names of the first two links so that it is not so confusing, the first two links contain the first 4 parts of the kit. The other links are parts 5, 6, and 7. Since this has been so messed up I will leave all of the links up until Friday the 25.<br /><br />Even though I have 18 kits in various stages I don’t think I will have time to finish up one for August. The reason I won’t have time is because SAS is having a birthday soon. Yes, <span style="font-weight:bold;">SAS turns 1 on September 12th</span> and I will tell you what, we plan to celebrate big time. We have SO many things planned, special contests, activities and FREEBIES, lots and lots of freebies, so many freebies that they will be coming out of our ears (excuse me I got carried away…LOL.) I have to keep most of the festivities secret for a little while longer but one thing I can tell you about is that we are having a <span style="font-weight:bold;">designer contest</span>. We are looking for a few designers to join the SAS team. If you would like to give it a try or if you want lots and lots of free kits from the contest be sure to check in to the forum on the 1st of September.

I don’t know why the scheduling option is not working for me but hopefully I can get it figured out. I was going to disable the links to Memory Lane on Friday the 8th but because of this glitch I will leave them active until Friday the 15th. In the mean time I wanted to post the link to this week’s <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-08-06/index.htm">SAS newsletter.</a> and to tell you that today I added Leaf and Stem Packs to all of my <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6">Commercial Use Designer’s Garden kits.</a> To celebrate all of the kits are on sale for 30% off. If you previously purchased any of the kits you will be receiving the link to the appropriate Leaf & Stem pack soon. So far there are 8 different kits available with more to come soon. You can get the links to Memory Lane below.

I am trying the scheduling option again, I hope it works this time. I have a doctors appointment this morning but I will check when I get back to make sure it is showing up.<br />I am still getting emails from some people saying that they are having trouble with part 5. I think it must be cursed. I have rezipped and uploaded it 5 times, the last time to 4-shared. I even resaved the elements from the original Photoshop docs hoping that would help. I am going to ask Janalyn if she can upload her copy somewhere that I can link to. I will leave all parts of the kit active until the 8th of August. If you are new to my blog be sure to go back to the old post to get the freebies from the SAS Mega kit, they are all still active. Well, I’ve gotta run so I can get up early for my doctor’s appointment.<br /><br />Memory Lane Part 7 <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrfytxSte3LafHSbSykADOeiSWvQiNZsLiRGZ95dakZizbknmPPKtEoWP1dAJwcdKRORSrH9kTXpSdFON4l25DwTorsS8P-7OnEBvSGBdBBVkorsIKDGPLVB_A315NRmDSSAdzvufOFA/s1600-h/JulieO+Memory+Lane+7,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrfytxSte3LafHSbSykADOeiSWvQiNZsLiRGZ95dakZizbknmPPKtEoWP1dAJwcdKRORSrH9kTXpSdFON4l25DwTorsS8P-7OnEBvSGBdBBVkorsIKDGPLVB_A315NRmDSSAdzvufOFA/s400/JulieO+Memory+Lane+7,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229453094116412146" /></a><br /><br />Download Memory Lane Part 7 <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/freebies/julieo_memory_lane_7.zip">Here</a>JulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-90009476596070506722008-07-25T08:00:00.001-06:002008-07-30T13:44:04.052-06:00Memory Lane Part 6Things didn't go as planned with this post. I had scheduled it so that the post below would come on line on Friday while I was on vacation. It looked easy enough, click on Post Options, choose the date and time that you want the post to show up, enter those totally unreadable verification letters and you are good to go………LOL. Surprise, Surprise, while I was away visiting my daughter secure in the knowledge that this post and Memory Lane part 6 would be here waiting for you, the post did not show up. I am going to try to make the scheduling thing work on Friday, today I will set it up so that part 7 shows up Friday morning but I will check it when I get up to make sure that it works.<br />I am still receiving a few comments that people are having trouble with part 5 of Memory Lane. I have re-zipped and uploaded it 4 times, I tested it every time and it worked for me. This time I have re-zipped it and uploaded it to 4-shared instead of my web site, the new link is two posts below at the bottom of the July 16th post. Read on for the post that you should have gotten on Friday and come back this Friday for the final piece of Memory Lane, Enjoy!<br /><br /><br />Well, if everything works like is should you are reading this post and I am visiting my daughter. I was so excited when I found out that you can schedule your posts in Blogger. Sometimes when I want to post something I don’t really have the time that I need to do it well. With the ability to schedule posts I can work on them a little bit at a time so that I don’t’ have to rush and get it done all at once.<br /><br />I have part 6 of Memory lane for you today. This part has one of my favorite papers of the kit, paper 2 is blue with tan scrolls, I just love this particular color combination, I think that it will go with a lot of things. I like it so much that I have a close-up of it below. I will have part 7 for you next week. I will keep all of the links active until the 1st of August then it will disappear for awhile before I put it in the store. <br /><br />The link to the SAS July Mega Kit sampler is still active also. This kit has some great elements. There are 61 papers and 100 embellishments and it is on <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=1442">sale for $5.95.</a> I am real happy with how the pier border came out, I think it will set of a layout well. I did the copper shells with one of Al Wards of <a href="http://www.actionfx.com/">Action FX</a> styles. If you have not signed up for Al’s subscription plan now is the time to do it because the rates are going up on the 1st of August. He has at least 100,000 things to download, all for one very low price so get it while the getting is good. BTW, Al also has a very good book on Photoshop called PS for right brainers, it is worth adding this one to your PS library (yes, I have a large PS library…LOL)<br /><br /><br />Some of the SAS July Mega Kit Elements<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQio90cXguuytNyAjtsdJnoLtXNZM58MntkmfIY_Q2XD7Op-9tF4H2AEUZl1-lqFBsoGWaMiwd1t9A4FD2eag7_NOsqDJPLNsXMf8xq1XPShl9ENzHYg2Sr2OUxYXuN2RzRPn6EFzNEho/s1600-h/_SAS+07-08+Mega+Kit+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQio90cXguuytNyAjtsdJnoLtXNZM58MntkmfIY_Q2XD7Op-9tF4H2AEUZl1-lqFBsoGWaMiwd1t9A4FD2eag7_NOsqDJPLNsXMf8xq1XPShl9ENzHYg2Sr2OUxYXuN2RzRPn6EFzNEho/s400/_SAS+07-08+Mega+Kit+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226455234927381026" /></a><br /><br /><br />I better wrap this one up so that I can finish packing for my trip.

I always test my links, it downloaded and unzipped fine for me so I didn’t notice the problem. <span style="font-weight:bold;">I have fixed the link</span> so that everyone should be able to download it now. Sorry it took so long for me to realize it. I will have part 6 on Friday and the grand finale next week. I am going to Nebraska to visit my daughter Beth at the Air Force base where she is posted so I am going to schedule the Friday post. I am looking forward to seeing Beth since it has been a few months since she came home. Her husband has been deployed so this seemed like a good time to make the trip. I have heard that Omaha has a really nice zoo so this will give me the chance take some pictures with my new camera, something besides the silk and real flowers that I have been photographing. I have been having a lot of fun making the Designers’ Garden CU flower kits and I should have a few more ready next week.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6">Designer’s Garden 3</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUvmUjfo4hwxgowj2cEjMNOa9EO4EQqcKBQ0LV2vvunehvR12q-OGaRRbuzpAvo5oeNgkPn-zIPE84etWScghj2XMcGCmG2ymfAGfP0hesek_GuQ4z-tU1Pb0uzssVtTfGeloSp-FD0I/s1600-h/+ADG+Preview+Combo3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUvmUjfo4hwxgowj2cEjMNOa9EO4EQqcKBQ0LV2vvunehvR12q-OGaRRbuzpAvo5oeNgkPn-zIPE84etWScghj2XMcGCmG2ymfAGfP0hesek_GuQ4z-tU1Pb0uzssVtTfGeloSp-FD0I/s400/+ADG+Preview+Combo3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226325349294897090" /></a><br /><br />Our July Mega kit has been released today. If you feel like I do about the ocean then you are going to LOVE this kit. I was raised in Massachusetts and as a kid I spent a lot of time on Cape Cod fishing and having picnics, the water was a little too cold to swim in but I have so many great memories of walking along the beach and climbing on the break waters. We also use to go to the piers where the boats came in with their catches of lobster and fish, those are some of my most vivid memories. I spent the summers with my dear grandma Elizabeth, one of the gentlest souls I have ever known. She lived on Anna Maria Island in the Gulf. In those days no one seemed to worry about sun burns so I always spent the first few days as red as a Cap Cod lobster, my grandma would spray me with vinegar to cool me down. I got to spend 3 months every year playing in the sand and sea, looking for shells and making sand castles for the sand fleas. I have been back to the Gulf a few times in recent years and as far as I am concerned it is the fountain of youth, it takes years off of how I feel physically and emotionally. Well, enough of that rambling…LOL. As I was saying about the July Mega kit, if you have any pictures of you family frolicking in the waves you have got to have this kit. The designers came up with some awesome papers and embellishments, there are piers, boats, anchors and shells to decorate our layouts with. The SAS CT team has been busy making some beautiful layouts so stop by and take a look at <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=739 ">their handiwork.</a> <br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-07-23/index.htm">here</a> for the link to the newsletter.

As I mentioned in my last post I have been camera shopping, I had some previous photography experience and own a nice Pentex SLR so I considered getting a Pentex digital SLR because my old lenses would fit a new digital Pentex. The main problem I ran into with a digital SLR was the price, to get everything I wanted in a camera would have ended up costing around $1400. The next best (and cheaper) option was the Canon G9, it does almost everything a digital SLR does but at about a third of the price. One really nice thing about it is that even with all of the bells and whistles that it has it will still fit in a shirt pocket. So I ended up with the G9 and so far it seems like a good decision. I have been playing with it a lot and I am amazed at the detail I can get with it. Using foam core and every small lamp in the house I have a set up a little table top studio in my kitchen. I have been taking pictures of lots and lots of flowers to use in my kits and for Commercial Use products. My DH has never been too big on buying me flowers but now I have been buying them for myself and photographing them, it is a business expensive so it makes it more practical and I get to enjoy them after I am done. <br /><br />I managed to put together <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6">8 CU flower packs</a> so far, they are called A Designers’ Garden. I hope that you will be seeing them in some other designer’s kits soon. The details are incredible and I just about went blind extracting them…LOL. They are all full color instead of grayscale. With full color when you re-color them you still have all of the tints and hues like in the original color, that is something that you cannot get with grayscale. Many of them are layered so that the leaves and centers can be colored separately. That part took forever since every little piece of the leaves or centers had to be extracted or they would have shown up on the flowers and that would not look too good.<br /><br />With being wrapped up in that I never got around to posting the rest of Memory Lane so today I have part 5 and next week I will have parts 6 and 7 (I promise.) Parts 5, 6 and 7 have an additional 24 papers and 22 elements so all together there are 40 papers and 34 elements.<br /><br />Here is the link to this <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-07-16/index.htm">week’s newsletter</a>, there are always some newsletter only freebies in it and all of our sales are listed.<br /><br />Some of A Designer's Garden line<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUT-ILe8ISRLXHFmPwbddz0RFO7ABE0fhzivx-LQ-YM8fF0oYE6SnxJ7HKcy5BqMj2yMZx6ENNcZahh1Vf1kUBqe5y3EN2fzWIVVmT482WY8KFOXnHu9NWN9B8IAqz-YY3CvBqkyqtKKk/s1600-h/+ADG+Preview+Combo3.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I originally made some patterned papers to go with the watercolor papers but I was not real happy with them, I reworked them a few times but never got them where I thought that they fit with the watercolor papers. Last night I finally decided to get rid of the patterned papers and put the kit together with just watercolor papers. I have been trying to develop a convincing watercolor technique for a long time. Before I shattered my elbow I use to hand dye fabric to quilt with and roving to spin into yarn to knit with so I have always loved the hand dyed/watercolor look. It did not seem like a big deal to be able to do it in Photoshop but it turned into a real challenge for me. I think that with these papers I am on the right track so you can expect to see a lot more of them from me. Because I was working on this kit for so long I ended up coming up with a lot of elements to go with it, my favorite on is the heart/flower/yarn cluster, it was a lot of fun to make.

It took a long time because I am meticulous when I extract things. The dried seed pod flowers, leaves and eucalyptus are from some pictures that I took a few weeks ago, Even with the great selection tools that Photoshop has the eucalyptus took FOREVER to extract, the seed pod flowers took a long time too but that was mainly because I extracted 12 of them so I could use them at different angles. The pictures were taken with a borrowed camera, it spoiled me a little bit. My digital camera is 7 years old, at the time 3 mega pixels were HUGH but now it is a dinosaur. I have been camera shopping and I think I have found the one that I want, a Canon G9, one thing I want in a camera is the ability to shoot in RAW, it is an extremely adaptable format. I am notorious for forgetting to change the white balance when I shoot, I end up with really bad color casts, like when I have the camera set on inside light but it is a bright sunny day. My daughters wedding pictures have a blue cast because I did that for her beach wedding. Bad colorcasts are difficult to fix perfectly but with the RAW format it is no big deal. I would love to get a SLR but to get everything I want in one of those it would be over a thousand dollars so I think for now I will go with the G9 so you can expect to see a lot more flowers and extracted elements in my kits. I should have more of the kit up later in the week and then next week there will be two more parts of the kit. There are 16 papers in today’s download and I have at least that many more to go.<br /><br /> <br />Memory Lane Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuO75O0XlB1_UbyLuudaT4Y1FoQ2viFCjhen2RC1ozXADgxeYiKt7DOcIVryT_agz47_Nk3ZSgy8TM-F5UqYsRho1shnou_tQ3Cj0VAejQexhu2-3eb7vNJ6BOftd8DvMRNGjAVr6SH4/s1600-h/Memory+Lane+Freebie+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuO75O0XlB1_UbyLuudaT4Y1FoQ2viFCjhen2RC1ozXADgxeYiKt7DOcIVryT_agz47_Nk3ZSgy8TM-F5UqYsRho1shnou_tQ3Cj0VAejQexhu2-3eb7vNJ6BOftd8DvMRNGjAVr6SH4/s400/Memory+Lane+Freebie+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215489630938659554" /></a><br /><br /><br />Papers<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqW9_1TkytX6pTHYGlOvw-lFE41crcrnoOtzCeuXI5ePv_AvEZYb4QmeBIqeSgNRPWJEVxbVV0qR0qpIMhN3TX6FKPEiHg3D2s8VZi2PAtHKup3WeneLA_szSfwXyg609L9-Tlsy4BqAk/s1600-h/+Memory+Lane+Freebie+2+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqW9_1TkytX6pTHYGlOvw-lFE41crcrnoOtzCeuXI5ePv_AvEZYb4QmeBIqeSgNRPWJEVxbVV0qR0qpIMhN3TX6FKPEiHg3D2s8VZi2PAtHKup3WeneLA_szSfwXyg609L9-Tlsy4BqAk/s400/+Memory+Lane+Freebie+2+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215491603503341746" /></a><br /><br />Download Parts 1 and 2 <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/freebies/julieo_memory_lane_1.zip">Here</a><br />Download Parts 3 and 4 <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/freebies/julieo_memory_lane_2.zip">Here</a>JulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-5749218295044232422008-06-18T17:26:00.000-06:002008-06-18T17:46:23.466-06:00SAS June Mega Kit FreebieIt has been a busy week and I am running a little behind today but I wanted to at least get the sampler from our new mega kit posted here. As usual it is a huge kit with almost 200 elements. I wanted a themed wedding kit since June is such a big month for weddings. Choosing the palette for this one was kind of tough because weddings come in so many colors. The pieces I made were on the softer side but some of the girls went with the brighter colors so I think that will help the kit to be useful for a lot of different things. I had a good time working with some of the silk flower pictures I took a few weeks ago, I made a bouquet and a floral spray, it was very challenging to get them to look natural but I think I gave them some pretty good depth.The <a href="http://stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=1246">June Mega Kit</a> is on sale for $5.95<br /><br />I was hoping to have my free kit of the month posted by now but it looks like it will be later this week since I still have a few things to do to get it ready. If you are not registered at SAS you don’t get our newsletter, if you would like to take a look and snag the newsletter freebies you can download it <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-06-18/index.htm">here.</a> if you are new to my blog you might want to check my previous posts since there are a lof of active freebie links.

The name for it came to me this time, I thought that Vintage Dreams fit it pretty well. The kit has something that I have been trying to get right for a few weeks, digital lace. Good lace is hard to come by so I have been experimenting on making it for a few weeks but it was never quite the way I wanted it but I think that I finally got it this time. There are 17 papers in the kit and an additional 14 are available in the add-on paper pack. The <a href="http://stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_25&products_id=1229">kit will be on sale</a> for the next two weeks. I put together a nice sampler for you, these pieces are all in the kit so if you buy the kit you do not need to download the sampler.<br /><br />Here is the link to the <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-06-11/index.htm">SAS newsletter</a>, we have lots of great new products and sales along with five freebies that are exclusive to the newsletter.<br /><br />I read through the wonderful comments that were left on my last post and it is nice to see that some people actually read my remarks about backing up their files. With all of the crazy things going on with the weather a flood, tornado or fire can happen at any time and having a back-up copy of your files can save you a lot of heartache. As I said in the last post, I keep my external hard drives in the basement in case of a tornado but during tornado season I keep all of my paper scrapbook albums and my old photos in the basement also. That way if there ever were a tornado all I would have to grab on my way to the basement would my cat and my little dog Zoe. Well, until next time I hope that you enjoy the sampler.<br /><br />Vintage Dreams<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggSKDejwTtWTwEb3XoVsbTPg_-N647ZR2XteioD6ydcMxBRKZVdVPrjMQ_Fs5-ue-iLnGdWeipfL-Rqrus_J-k51OYb209CoZsCNUlqirtpTLA8JTosENjL8aT-xsZK5QOnW71tfNUKSU/s1600-h/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggSKDejwTtWTwEb3XoVsbTPg_-N647ZR2XteioD6ydcMxBRKZVdVPrjMQ_Fs5-ue-iLnGdWeipfL-Rqrus_J-k51OYb209CoZsCNUlqirtpTLA8JTosENjL8aT-xsZK5QOnW71tfNUKSU/s400/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210764205562854722" /></a><br /><br />Close-up<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT2I2HQCfY08kda-2ZYUO-XNfzdbNgJaUWRRFcfVrUlLVMlWQdaSvGDv7oYDCm8ffinOPlRsmVnd7W498ldXdzFW3wmle40IQpSTLA_kjS9dDnTVsSdMEdBlLkpI-7pP1hAfe__fmT7CE/s1600-h/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+02.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT2I2HQCfY08kda-2ZYUO-XNfzdbNgJaUWRRFcfVrUlLVMlWQdaSvGDv7oYDCm8ffinOPlRsmVnd7W498ldXdzFW3wmle40IQpSTLA_kjS9dDnTVsSdMEdBlLkpI-7pP1hAfe__fmT7CE/s400/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210764321025448082" /></a><br /><br /><br />Vintage Dream Papers<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifsqbhgfjv2gWxdciuLsSgE8xkF8I8s_jK1i7XHVb030hvEspm_lnO2oCFo3ElvGGa8USoO9U-xCygwPOtOsTP4fzi2Bm5MJrgMZzrcOxesV2hNxBPKaiPA8cLKG8wMVh9ytoR4diERfs/s1600-h/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifsqbhgfjv2gWxdciuLsSgE8xkF8I8s_jK1i7XHVb030hvEspm_lnO2oCFo3ElvGGa8USoO9U-xCygwPOtOsTP4fzi2Bm5MJrgMZzrcOxesV2hNxBPKaiPA8cLKG8wMVh9ytoR4diERfs/s400/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210764444661153570" /></a><br /><br />Vintage Dreams Sampler<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGot_Q-DV-q5PikUswZbi9YWJ0jK8QKPK0W2HNhCKXehXr9QFCIJDzYT74AmuFFLY5dPKxOf_mTj50XIKVIEf4EqpvBg-fFEDRTvrHaFewt3D8vy9ThzEcFFSDkv4UhnLFMpDti4G78ok/s1600-h/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+01+Sampler.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGot_Q-DV-q5PikUswZbi9YWJ0jK8QKPK0W2HNhCKXehXr9QFCIJDzYT74AmuFFLY5dPKxOf_mTj50XIKVIEf4EqpvBg-fFEDRTvrHaFewt3D8vy9ThzEcFFSDkv4UhnLFMpDti4G78ok/s400/JulieO+Vintage+Dreams+01+Sampler.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210767059745051474" /></a><br /><br />Download Vintage Dreams <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/various/julieo_vintage_dreams_sampler.zip">Here</a>JulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-72223530658272755872008-06-04T17:34:00.001-06:002008-06-25T14:57:43.944-06:00Dear Mom Part 4Here is the last part of Dear Mom, these new papers are a brighter then the other papers so I made some frames and brads that are a little bolder to go with them. I have a good start on the kit I will be giving away this month but it will be next week before I have the first part ready. In the mean time if you are looking for more freebies, <a href="http://www.waititgetsbetter.blogspot.com/">Terrell</a> has a beautiful freebie from her My Little Garden kit, <a href="http://www.acmommy28.blogspot.com/">Jeanette</a> has the cutest desktop calendar made from Under the Boardwalk and <a href="http://www.digitalcreationsfrommillstreamcottage.blogspot.com/">Brenda</a> has a quick page made from her East Meets West kit, I just love the Asian look of this kit.<br /><br />Something I wanted to mention to all of you today is the importance of backing up your files. What brought this to mind is that there have been a lot of tornadoes lately and one of our members recently had a hard drive crash, she lost a many of the digital supplies that she had purchased. I am somewhat obsessive about backing up my files. My Mac has an automatic backup system, I use an external hard drive to back up to. With the constant threat of storms we have had lately I have gotten into the habit of taking that hard drive down to the basement every night. After my loved ones and my pets (I actually consider them loved ones…LOL) my digital files are some of the most important things I have, insurance would replace most things if they were lost but there is no way to replace lost baby photos or pictures of all of the little things that have happened in my life. Between the site and all of my files I have about a terabyte and a half of stuff, many of these files are irreplaceable. The way I figure it is that if we were to have a tornado I would rather not have to worry about grabbing my back ups on my way to the basement. Even if you are not worried about tornados anything can happen at any time, <span style="font-weight:bold;">hard drives fail eventually or fires happen, it is better to be safe than to be sorry. My advice is that before you even consider spending another penny on digital supplies that you spend the money on some kind of back up system for your files</span>. DVDs are under a dollar and you can buy a 300 gig external hard drive for around $100 on sale. This way you can be sure that those precious photos and the layouts that you worked so hard on will be safe.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjMWvWtqmgozeH55UUXpaXJe7YKwpSBQsNkrbVZJImCJZgQKovf_brbhioVss5LViDfr6B6r8DyHQoIINQmkHFszG3w-yHsdfkUz6s5K1LKsj_0ldjxdGXAmaN46nLBBASsKixPJGPatI/s1600-h/JulieO+Dear+Mom+4,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjMWvWtqmgozeH55UUXpaXJe7YKwpSBQsNkrbVZJImCJZgQKovf_brbhioVss5LViDfr6B6r8DyHQoIINQmkHFszG3w-yHsdfkUz6s5K1LKsj_0ldjxdGXAmaN46nLBBASsKixPJGPatI/s400/JulieO+Dear+Mom+4,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208174042321637570" /></a><br /><br />Sorry, Link DisabledJulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-12027565456106267072008-05-30T02:24:00.002-06:002008-06-25T14:58:26.467-06:00Dear Mom 3 and Stone Washed Bluez QPIt has been one of those crazy busy days so I will have to be quick, Here are the promised part of Dear Mom the special goodie from Stone Washed Bluez that I mentioned. I wanted to share this quick page with you as my way of saying “Thank You” to all of you that took part in the Name Me contest, the name suggestions were great and your comments are always so nice, I really appreciate it. I was going to put some of the bolder pieces of Dear Mom up today but there are a few more things I want to make in the darker colors so I am saving them for Tuesday. <br /><br />The quick page from SWB was made by Janalyn. You should stop by and take a look at the <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=14003">layout that she made this QP</a> from, It is of a trip to Guatemala, and everything about the kit just fit the picture so perfectly it is like the kit was made for this picture.<br /><br />The May Mega Kit Sampler is still active below. In the description I gave last week I said there were 130 elements and 79 papers but some how I missed Cathy C’s part of the kit so there are really 152, papers and 87 papers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDNWg4CRItXOfPGXKlpShQQ_IpbLlr9LJ6UB4n0r1t5cy8X6Q2zm-D_qoHahXaWFtGNbIBhe8XAKVy11zXZTS53HPFm4Ne400FLpDqF-fv9Xio5BFTszewwBBbIS1foQ7VTKy-i_7nAM/s1600-h/05-08+SAS+Mega+Kit+01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDNWg4CRItXOfPGXKlpShQQ_IpbLlr9LJ6UB4n0r1t5cy8X6Q2zm-D_qoHahXaWFtGNbIBhe8XAKVy11zXZTS53HPFm4Ne400FLpDqF-fv9Xio5BFTszewwBBbIS1foQ7VTKy-i_7nAM/s400/05-08+SAS+Mega+Kit+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206086300858260194" /></a><br /><br />I just stopped by a few of the girls’ blogs and they have been busy, <a href="http://www.digitalcreationsfrommillstreamcottage.blogspot.com/">Brenda,</a> <br /><a href="http://www.beckiewallacedesigns.blogspot.com/">Beckie,</a> <a href="http://www.skrapperdigitals.blogspot.com/">Sherah,</a> and <a href="http://digimomdesigns.com/">Barbara</a> all have freebies today so go by and check them out.

What a response to the “Name Me” contest, I had over 200 entries. Obviously the word “Blue” was pretty common and quite a few names contained either “Tranquil or Turbulent.” It was starting to look like it was going to be a tough choice since there were so many that fit when near the bottom of the list I found the perfect name, “Stone Washed Blues,” or almost perfect I should say, Arlene sent me twelve names but her nickname or her last name is “Bluez” and that seemed like a neat way to spell it. Stone Washed Bluez really fits, the “Stone” from Stone Accents Studio and the jean papers look like they are stone washed because of the color variations in them and I guess I don’t need to explain the “Blue” part…. LOL. Joanne Kraft and Arlene Bluez (?) will both get the mega kit and a $10 store coupon to spend on whatever they want.<br /><br />If you have ever bought one of my kits you know that I go a little over board with papers, I just love to make them. When I have a good palette it is such a joy to see what I can come up with by changing blending modes or using different color overlays, it is not uncommon to come up with 80 or so papers. Obviously some of them are kind of similar but most of them are unique in some way. With this kit I ended up with almost 70 good papers. There are 20 in the kit and an additional 26 in the paper pack. It is in the store as a <a href="http://stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_25&products_id=1135">kit</a> with a regular price of $5.99 but the introductory price is $4.20, there is a <a href="http://stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_25&products_id=1136">paper pack</a> with 24 papers, regularly $3.25 but on sale for $2, the <a href="http://stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_25&products_id=1137">mega kit</a> combines both for a total of 44 papers, the regular price is $7.50 but it is on sale for $5.75. The awesome SAS CT has already made some <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=527">beautiful layouts,</a> it is like this kit was just made for Janalyn’s Guatemala picture and it is an honor to have Marilyng’s incredible nature photos showcased with the kit, stop by and take a look.<br /><br />Stone Washed Bluez<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQpgeXje5ddKN7kyE691nmHaBY3KfvF1rpNAP5Unyc5tYwNHOHXPdwcUE5PTS1LBZLMFslDa1asPZumEbRBjUQX-lx-np130uigLgtlP4uBhJRpIUMmvOMehn6itBtkhNWMbRyxDBtO1A/s1600-h/JulieO+Stone+Washed+Bluez+03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQpgeXje5ddKN7kyE691nmHaBY3KfvF1rpNAP5Unyc5tYwNHOHXPdwcUE5PTS1LBZLMFslDa1asPZumEbRBjUQX-lx-np130uigLgtlP4uBhJRpIUMmvOMehn6itBtkhNWMbRyxDBtO1A/s400/JulieO+Stone+Washed+Bluez+03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202920694593467362" /></a><br /><br />The SAS May Mega Kit was released today, there are 130 elements and 79 papers done in this delightfully playful color palette. These colors remind me of the days when I bought my kids clothes, some of their favorite outfits had these colors. I had a lot of fun making papers with this palette, the colors blend so well that I ended making 22 in just a few hours. If you buy the kit you do not need the sampler because the pieces are from the kit. I have asked the CT to make some QPs with is and I am hoping to give a couple of them out next week. <br /><br />We are having a big spring cleaning sale this week, many of the designers have their older products on sale for up to 50% off so now it the time to save on some of those kits you have had your eye on.

My goal with the fabric was to be able to dye some really nice batik fabric. It is quite a process involving wax to act as a resist and lots and lots of washing and ironing to get the wax off of the fabric. I got pretty good at it but it was too much work to be fun (ironing never was my thing, just ask my DH…LOL) I recently decided to give it a try in Photoshop, it is not as much work but it is about as hard to get a good watercolor look. This kit is the result of some of my efforts, it doesn’t have the batik look but I think I did a good job getting the watercolor look. I was all ready to put it in the store when I realized that I didn’t have a name for it. Since the contests for Citrus Sunrise and Tuscan Sunset went so well I thought that would be the way to go with this kit. Download the freebie to see if it sparks anything in you. If you come up with something send it to me at stoneaccentsstudio@hotmail.com by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Monday at 7 p.m.</span> central. Please put <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Kit name"</span> in the subject line. The winner will receive the<span style="font-weight:bold;"> mega kit, which will be the kit and a paper pack, which has an additional 26 papers, plus they will receive a $10 coupon to spend at SAS on whatever they want.</span> Thanks in advance for your help.<br /><br />Name Me Kit<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKeTSWRax0YwKeP9EMHaA9Z2Ckm_yUnD-ZivIjn626tXSIpnlCOjT7Avqd3ptSOwRHqs-rBZSCpNu_CsJklUCcpMx74Vr5NEpJxzcayjmMNw33GWyByDCopyFETxpVdPSeycLQBwSdZ1A/s1600-h/JulieO+Gecko+1,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKeTSWRax0YwKeP9EMHaA9Z2Ckm_yUnD-ZivIjn626tXSIpnlCOjT7Avqd3ptSOwRHqs-rBZSCpNu_CsJklUCcpMx74Vr5NEpJxzcayjmMNw33GWyByDCopyFETxpVdPSeycLQBwSdZ1A/s400/JulieO+Gecko+1,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200885863642674002" /></a><br /><br />Close-up<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCoYSld8OfVVjh-v3ux489eGhx5L1zUMWDuUDCVpJZL_RsscOtxHhNi38eUjggj61YgRDk0uzZHiuap4MTl9ShlO5NThyphenhyphen1fgnCj5baZjrDSS8bhwkL6qz0oCQvKDR8Hk-3ACE2F0RfE38/s1600-h/JulieO+Gecko+2+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCoYSld8OfVVjh-v3ux489eGhx5L1zUMWDuUDCVpJZL_RsscOtxHhNi38eUjggj61YgRDk0uzZHiuap4MTl9ShlO5NThyphenhyphen1fgnCj5baZjrDSS8bhwkL6qz0oCQvKDR8Hk-3ACE2F0RfE38/s400/JulieO+Gecko+2+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200886275959534466" /></a><br /><br /><br />Sampling of papers<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZq8oi3R9ux8Fe2PGQSV2WGdm6y2yLlRozjRozvxB-7l7m8RLjjW2KaGJ2wtrWOiYUewv8Qz8iPdZzKHDqmWRhHye8snKE2eEFQ0VPJjmnrUCCXa-12BWo1hhvVo2WHXap4P_Wt_eT5U/s1600-h/JulieO+Gecko+3+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZq8oi3R9ux8Fe2PGQSV2WGdm6y2yLlRozjRozvxB-7l7m8RLjjW2KaGJ2wtrWOiYUewv8Qz8iPdZzKHDqmWRhHye8snKE2eEFQ0VPJjmnrUCCXa-12BWo1hhvVo2WHXap4P_Wt_eT5U/s400/JulieO+Gecko+3+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200886142815548274" /></a><br /><br />Name Me Freebie<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_VSzs_kA3MJLVSnYAffGxGMij7mDhZBuDkqlp11WLu1Xffbu9aJGnt_aD5r4aJQaRf9LGHtGBEEUqHcYyo3v2-lkJFVYEtLXR8hfMH9CXdsDa1E8hxNyHoiBBsautcxZEcdRct3cA3lY/s1600-h/JulieO+Gecko+Freebie+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_VSzs_kA3MJLVSnYAffGxGMij7mDhZBuDkqlp11WLu1Xffbu9aJGnt_aD5r4aJQaRf9LGHtGBEEUqHcYyo3v2-lkJFVYEtLXR8hfMH9CXdsDa1E8hxNyHoiBBsautcxZEcdRct3cA3lY/s400/JulieO+Gecko+Freebie+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200886379038749586" /></a><br /><br /><br />Download Name Me Freebie <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/various/julieo_name_me_freebie.zip">Here</a>JulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-59888768483251673432008-05-15T12:50:00.003-06:002008-06-25T14:59:43.004-06:00Dear Mom Part TwoI have some more goodies from Dear Mom for you today. One of my favorite pieces is the cameo, I have always wanted to make one and the flowers in the kits seemed perfect for the project. This download has some of the softer lighter elements but the next few downloads will have a bolder brighter look. I noticed a <span style="font-weight:bold;">little problem with the heart from part one</span>, if you already downloaded part one you can download a new heart below.<br /><br />I have a new kit almost ready to put in the store but I cannot do that until I have a name for it. Naming <br />kits and coming up with descriptions for them is a weak point for me, it is so bad that when Jan use to put my kits in the store I would send her a description that consisted of a few keywords that I thought were appropriate followed by “blah, blah, blah” LOL, fortunately she never just put the description in like that, instead she always came up with something that sounded much better…LOL. Lori suggested that I have a <span style="font-weight:bold;">naming contest</span> again so that is what I am going to do. I will have a freebie from the kit for you on Friday so that you can get a good look at it. If you come up with a good name send it to me at stoneaccentsstudio@hotmail.com by Monday at 7 p.m. central. Whoever sends in the winning name (meaning the name I choose) will <span style="font-weight:bold;">win the kit and a $10 store coupon.</span><br /><br />I want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments about my last post. We make decisions in our life and have no idea of the impact they will have. I made a few very bad ones when I was 15 and 16 that caused me and my family a lot of pain for many years. I think back sometimes and wonder if I would do things differently and I am not sure that if I could if I would. I say that because I am who I am and where I am because of those decisions. You know what they say, “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger” Those words can help you through the toughest of times knowing that when you come out the other end you will be a stronger person because of it. Thanks again.<br /><br />Dear Mom Part Two<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIOxtF_D8F-KVJ22ufIfOdSNPsAL4eWbdF9iwX_C79bQr0wcwTmuvKLWsUoRAK5FtPFGFLS65j_2BhP2Hr-kmkjVy2M6BNepNOnF_21HbFE_2-Ef0me62lswKgWIumkmaeVkF9pv_7aiI/s1600-h/JulieO+Dear+Mom+2,+01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIOxtF_D8F-KVJ22ufIfOdSNPsAL4eWbdF9iwX_C79bQr0wcwTmuvKLWsUoRAK5FtPFGFLS65j_2BhP2Hr-kmkjVy2M6BNepNOnF_21HbFE_2-Ef0me62lswKgWIumkmaeVkF9pv_7aiI/s400/JulieO+Dear+Mom+2,+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200680448241808194" /></a><br /><br />Download Dear Mom Part Two <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/various/julieo_dear_mom_2.zip">Here</a><br /><br />If you downloaded part 1 before today you should download this new heart.

It is called Dear Mom and it is in honor of my mom. With Mother’s Day being this Sunday it seems like an appropriate time for this. One of the biggest regrets of my life is that when I was fifteen I made some stupid decisions that took my path in life many miles from my mother. I say “regret” but I can’t regret that those decisions lead me to where I am now, married to a great guy with four children that are so dear to me. I regret that I have not been able to share my life with my mom except for the occasional visits. She is a very special women, she left my father in a time that most women stayed in bad marriages but she knew that we would be better off without him. She worked very hard all of those years to support us without any help from my father, her family or the government. I was an only child until I was thirteen so we were very close. When I was fifteen (that time in life when I knew everything…LOL) I moved away from home not knowing that it would be forever. For a few years more than miles separated us, it took me becoming a mother for that gulf to close and for me to realize just how much my mother had sacrificed for me and how little I really did know. My mom taught me lots of things but mostly she taught me how to be a mother, much of the mother I am came from her. We have had lots of good visits over the years (but never enough) and one thing I learned about my mother is that she is one of the funniest people I know, I have always had my best laughs with my mom, real “hurt my belly” laughs. I guess that is how life goes, kids grow up and move on but I do wish I could have shared more of my life with my mom. One piece of advice to you moms with young children, <span style="font-weight:bold;">enjoy it while you can,</span> it was only yesterday that my little ones were asking me to give them a good night back rub or to read them a book. Now they are grown and living lives of their own, some of them too far from home, it goes WAY too fast.<br /><br />BTW, for all of you moms that will be <span style="font-weight:bold;">getting flowers</span> this Mother’s Day, here is a little secret I learned that will keep those flowers looking perky for a long time. Mix up the little packet of crystals that comes with the flowers in the correct amount of water and then add <span style="font-weight:bold;">½ teaspoon of bleach</span> to the mix. I had just read about this in the newspaper when my DH got me flowers for Valentines Day and our anniversary so I decided to try it. The roses were still looking good after two weeks and the mixed flowers kept for over a week and a half. I think the bleach also helped them to dry well, I hung them upside down for a few weeks and they are beautiful, as soon as I get time I am going to take some pictures and make some elements from them.<br /><br />I will have more of Dear Mom next week, there will be about 24 papers and no telling how many elements. I was hoping to have more elements ready today but the flowers took a long time to get looking just the way I wanted them to. This kit will have a lot of looks because the papers went in a few directions but it should be a good mix and match kit. Happy Mother’s Day and Enjoy!<br /><br />Flower Frame<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5c5KBegNcfT0IXzzNxVDsq0p1UhiVbc3E5h-7yUBsoTn68E5uVY6MA2cRovKimOHncHUp9Ns4il2AFKWUbdStIsVExFNrrCCtCdXMUbLfknBNB0dETbHwU9o83ci_iWFGUXeJm89TcM/s1600-h/Dear+Mom+1,+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5c5KBegNcfT0IXzzNxVDsq0p1UhiVbc3E5h-7yUBsoTn68E5uVY6MA2cRovKimOHncHUp9Ns4il2AFKWUbdStIsVExFNrrCCtCdXMUbLfknBNB0dETbHwU9o83ci_iWFGUXeJm89TcM/s400/Dear+Mom+1,+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198125099810948002" /></a><br /><br />Dear Mom Part One<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFb0H3liVuPETM90lhqiLd6LM6jL7VT7Q6c4og3P116MFaen0z7d3R8a38F8eeohubq9A3eOLuzttpOOirfNI9rmG41wlOVk_kY7eoRgLMaRM5TBHI4geXtO7YdMA2Hr2UtzNT0vciFqI/s1600-h/Dear+Mom+1,+01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFb0H3liVuPETM90lhqiLd6LM6jL7VT7Q6c4og3P116MFaen0z7d3R8a38F8eeohubq9A3eOLuzttpOOirfNI9rmG41wlOVk_kY7eoRgLMaRM5TBHI4geXtO7YdMA2Hr2UtzNT0vciFqI/s400/Dear+Mom+1,+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198126289516889026" /></a><br /><br />Sorry, Link DisabledJulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-48984830455678850722008-04-30T14:40:00.000-06:002008-04-30T15:09:41.551-06:00Vintage Rose and Family History FreebieIt has been a crazy couple of weeks. We got a great response to the designer call and have added 5 new designers to the team. Barbara of digiMom Designs has a 50% off sale to celebrate the opening of her new store and <a href="http://scrapsationalscraps.blogspot.com/">CathyC</a>, Jeanette Bollinger and RachelC have opened their stores. <a href="digitalcreationsfrommillstreamcottage.blogspot.com">Brenda</a> of Millstream Cottage will be opening soon. <a href="http://www.digimomdesigns.com">Barbara</a> and <a href="http://www.rachelclarkdesigns.blogspot.com/">RachelC</a> have freebies and <a href="http://acmommy28.blogspot.com/">Jeanette</a> has a CT call and a nice freebie, <br /><br />I was trying to get my Free Kit of the Month started today but I spent most of the last two weeks typing and checking out the potential designers so that did not leave much time for designing or putting together previews, so I decided to dig out a couple of my old freebies. Vintage Rose is by far my favorite kit, so that is the first one and Family History is one of my favorites also so that is the second. I know a lot of you probably already have them but with so many newbies finding out about the joy and ease of digital scrapping every day I figured that a lot of you wouldn’t have them. If you like the freebies and want the kits you can find them <a href="http://stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=1">here</a>. <br /><br />Now that the designer call is over I am going to try to get some new kits in the store. I have twelve kits in various stages of completion but my problem is that I always have a hard time deciding what papers to put in a kit. Typically when I get on a run with papers I will end up with 50 or 60 papers and being the pack rat that I am I can’t throw anything away…LOL. Most of those papers are different in some way, not just a different color but with blending modes changed on different layers and things that make each paper unique. I have been thinking of a way to offer them all to the people that purchase the kits but to make it easy for them to not download the extra papers if someone did not want all of them. Maybe something like a Bonus Paper Pack, I don’t know but I will have to figure something out.<br /><br />Well, I better run for now, I still have to get the newsletter out. If you are not registered in the store or the forum but would like to see our sales or get the newsletter freebies here is the link to the <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-04-30">newsletter.</a> BTW, the April Showers Freebie below is still active.

I am so pleased at the quality of the designers who applied at SAS, it is going to be a tough choice, we are hoping to take on at least 4 new designers.<br /><br />What I did want to do here today is to give you a sampler of the SAS April Showers Mega Kit. If you only buy one spring themed kit this should be it, there is such a variety of beautiful flowers and other elements that is the only one you will need. Wait until you see Boo’s awesome hand-drawn elements, they are SO adorable, AneczkaW made a cute little duck that really completes the “April Showers” theme. It is <a href="http://stoneaccentsstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=1025">on sale for $6.95</a> There are 83 papers and 163, yes I said 163 embellishments. Below is a little sampler of the kit, these elements are in the kit so if you buy it you do not need to download this. <br /><br />Here is the link to <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/newsletter/2008-04-23">this week’s newsletter</a>, there are some newsletter freebies and we started a contest (A quick and easy little contest) where the winner gets a $10 gift certificate so take a look.<br /><br />I have to run so I can get back to work on the designer applications, hopefully that will be done by Friday and I can get some designing done this weekend. I have 12 kit in the works but I have not been able to finish anything up to my satisfaction. Finished or not I will start a free kit next week, there is nothing like a blog deadline to get me designing...LOL. In the mean time enjoy the sampler.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwV_8tNskSuFHc89oVg_yNG2BS2SY7e0vwE8GW9byeXdLAYpbTfVbDvOzYSCvIm0UuYlge3n3IGPDBojy_AHrQQxbeRYQe5caBIW97t-RMT63pelR2bbQDV810sQi1OQ93Sp4THdsybF0/s1600-h/SAS+April+Showers+01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwV_8tNskSuFHc89oVg_yNG2BS2SY7e0vwE8GW9byeXdLAYpbTfVbDvOzYSCvIm0UuYlge3n3IGPDBojy_AHrQQxbeRYQe5caBIW97t-RMT63pelR2bbQDV810sQi1OQ93Sp4THdsybF0/s400/SAS+April+Showers+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192563480226973330" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEittHJ6fxyDxsvzJnoOntnKqgNTHLeR652ZVt-cxn5V6rllXhbJILbvzPhN1OshB12GSSCdV4JRIxms74lR_dK7xqB6N-K6W7ugAs6uRqJglMw_lW3i_-SZiaiJNOP0NFAhzqXI6SZKOk4/s1600-h/SAS+April+Showers+02.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEittHJ6fxyDxsvzJnoOntnKqgNTHLeR652ZVt-cxn5V6rllXhbJILbvzPhN1OshB12GSSCdV4JRIxms74lR_dK7xqB6N-K6W7ugAs6uRqJglMw_lW3i_-SZiaiJNOP0NFAhzqXI6SZKOk4/s400/SAS+April+Showers+02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192563604781024930" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuK9xyXvlQnRQ7HWaM-IcLLbQnCTo8yWwOl_fEiorCI-nsfajZIIPRBDluqzeK_TOlzkJZTfYLy1f-OxFp-VVEMa5VXY5r4HLFFjKFLRv0iKh9Vzwu9IH2WZ2W-__tMej_CyKYMVNMnNY/s1600-h/SAS+April+Showers+04.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuK9xyXvlQnRQ7HWaM-IcLLbQnCTo8yWwOl_fEiorCI-nsfajZIIPRBDluqzeK_TOlzkJZTfYLy1f-OxFp-VVEMa5VXY5r4HLFFjKFLRv0iKh9Vzwu9IH2WZ2W-__tMej_CyKYMVNMnNY/s400/SAS+April+Showers+04.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192564180306642642" /></a><br /><br />April Showers Sampler<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr22NmL18CZlvJe8xAFWSJxDfMtR91IYFr6W4ckHPdmwauyCQknGgUxGaIPqOCmEEHT5vVAJz6saK8nHam1KRnmFup-OFPUEHHTfUfQ_6iCyoXH3jrj1Z_OVxaCvwAPZYqts-Qo4K4fz0/s1600-h/SAS+April+Showers+Sampler+01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr22NmL18CZlvJe8xAFWSJxDfMtR91IYFr6W4ckHPdmwauyCQknGgUxGaIPqOCmEEHT5vVAJz6saK8nHam1KRnmFup-OFPUEHHTfUfQ_6iCyoXH3jrj1Z_OVxaCvwAPZYqts-Qo4K4fz0/s400/SAS+April+Showers+Sampler+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192563905428735682" /></a><br /><br />Download April Showers Sampler <a href="http://www.stoneaccentsstudio.com/freebies/sas_april_showers_sampler.zip">Here</a>JulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-27305956681149559872008-04-16T15:54:00.003-06:002008-04-16T22:54:52.950-06:00Mega Kit SamplerIt has been awhile since I blogged and I have lots of things to blog about but today I just have time to get a sampler from the SAS April Mega Kit posted.

I will leave all of the links to Citrus Sunrise active until I start my March freebie that will be sometime next week so download these links while you can.<br /><br />My birthday was Wednesday, I thought the best way to celebrate was with a sale, I won’t say how old I am, but if I had made the kits that percentage off I would have just about been giving them away…LOL. <br /><br />Citrus Sunrise 7 + 8 Papers<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJGPOjnD5dOBjW6ibvRKbu13q3-PrpRRuIi2lVHYUsAP0ZXk_4QfMiPoQ243AGcKhWXjLsNGszYFv2XMiQQ0oSmx1sJErc9RpZyVtFPKOrx-5GkHoV7tdfEtTdgueZFmbl7uY6D8UzTpM/s1600-h/Citrus+Sunrise+7%2B8,+paper+600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJGPOjnD5dOBjW6ibvRKbu13q3-PrpRRuIi2lVHYUsAP0ZXk_4QfMiPoQ243AGcKhWXjLsNGszYFv2XMiQQ0oSmx1sJErc9RpZyVtFPKOrx-5GkHoV7tdfEtTdgueZFmbl7uY6D8UzTpM/s400/Citrus+Sunrise+7%2B8,+paper+600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172478737471915778" /></a><br /><br />Citrus Sunrise 7 + 8<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiUBzjUd5WghdfHiUymxxjyglrogLATSOtxh9jsgOKtG1Vu3CCR3C9WpClWi1ZXllFWubyetLc1MxOEPSWyiVgOcIbwIJMrD_kepXU5GOUAkVwRvvl1o3toglzUGd1_A9jFQz21LZ0sq8/s1600-h/Citrus+Sunrise+7%2B8+Free,+preview.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiUBzjUd5WghdfHiUymxxjyglrogLATSOtxh9jsgOKtG1Vu3CCR3C9WpClWi1ZXllFWubyetLc1MxOEPSWyiVgOcIbwIJMrD_kepXU5GOUAkVwRvvl1o3toglzUGd1_A9jFQz21LZ0sq8/s400/Citrus+Sunrise+7%2B8+Free,+preview.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172478320860088050" /></a><br /><br />Sorry, Link DisabledJulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725308933816059744.post-84924714539030200812008-02-21T22:57:00.001-06:002008-06-25T15:02:10.670-06:00Citrus Sunrise Part 6Grrrrrrrrr, I am SO mad at my computer!! I got this new Mac Pro a few weeks ago and it has been trouble ever since. It has been very unstable, something I am not use to in a Mac and even though it should be about 4 times faster than my old G5 it is so much slower it is driving me NUTS!!!!!! Last night after I made a few new pieces for Citrus Sunrise and the previews it would not power off so I had to do a hard shutdown (NOT good for the computer,) well this morning it would not boot up, I got what is called “the blue screen of death.” I had been planning on reinstalling the old operating system to see if maybe it was the new OS that was making the computer so slow but I was hoping to do it when I had some free time (like that happens very often…LOL) With the crash today I had no choice but to reinstall everything, it actually took about 6 hours since I had to install 3 versions of Adobe Creative Suites and they take forever to install. Now I still have to mess around with getting my passwords, bookmark, preferences and all the other software back on, what a waste of time this has been. Once I got the computer up and running I found out that the previews and a few really nice piece I made for this kit were lost, I don’t know how it could have happened, I had opened and closed them a few times so they were saved to the hard drive but they are GONE… like I said Grrrrrrrrrr. I did manage to put the frame back together so I have that for you, but the other pieces will take more time than I have tonight so I will have to get that to you later this week, probably Sunday. I hope you like the frame, it was really a happy accident, you may not believe this but it started out as a piece of simple black and white clipart, Ohhh, the wonders of Photoshop…LOL, All of the downloads from this kit are still active, Enjoy!<br /><br />New Frame <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3MrxB_SUtRk3MW-y_QlC8aaOwweqpgzY93M7YG8MFbOXT5NsVdE0MfF6oxHYcABhn-t5mp9ZESf9aZmC47kXMasA7WVcXMC91Uex1wc1IlU0O-VKnMMdSviykQO_ZXbS5cYqoDxNrBgk/s1600-h/Citrus+Sunrise+6,+preview+free+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3MrxB_SUtRk3MW-y_QlC8aaOwweqpgzY93M7YG8MFbOXT5NsVdE0MfF6oxHYcABhn-t5mp9ZESf9aZmC47kXMasA7WVcXMC91Uex1wc1IlU0O-VKnMMdSviykQO_ZXbS5cYqoDxNrBgk/s400/Citrus+Sunrise+6,+preview+free+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169665034395356946" /></a><br /><br />Citrus Sunrise Part 6<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKqZ_La5Outi-FaZSAOC2PJtTz7HwTMCYkNQZErNAAVcSrBTuNZIk76ZP9HiYbwA5yyL_CiOuXNfwU_qDGLK5vBohpkB8BeLDBvXBsLFztVQ0vvxYM6DrX18FxZMpCp9slfa86H55-Fc/s1600-h/Citrus+Sunrise+6,+preview+free.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKqZ_La5Outi-FaZSAOC2PJtTz7HwTMCYkNQZErNAAVcSrBTuNZIk76ZP9HiYbwA5yyL_CiOuXNfwU_qDGLK5vBohpkB8BeLDBvXBsLFztVQ0vvxYM6DrX18FxZMpCp9slfa86H55-Fc/s400/Citrus+Sunrise+6,+preview+free.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169665133179604770" /></a><br /><br /><br />Sorry, Link DisabledJulieOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10262555127066457232noreply@blogger.com
