Sneak Peek Friday

Wanna peek at what Sara's got coming out this weekend?

Lets get to know each other!

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going smoothly! Sara here to bring you a new blog activity today. Just a fun way for you to get to know me and my awesome team and for us to get to know you!

Here's how it works- I will start out with a random question, I will post answers from my team and myself. Then you leave a little comment with your answer to the question along with your username from SSD, DST, or MSA. Why username?? Well I will randomly pick an element/alpha/paper pack to randomly give to one of the commenters and I need a way to get it to you! We are all about being random today! lol

Here's the question:
Do you have somewhere you go that you feel inspired and renewed?



Becca: "I just love getting out when I need to feel inspired/renewed. I love going for a drive in the country and taking in all the beauty! I also love to play piano to unwind and feel renewed!"

LuAnn: "I love to read or walk to "get away". It clears my mind."

Lydia: "Church"

Brooke: "Not really, the busyness of the days where I cant scrap renews me enough."

Suzy: "Outdoors"

Meredith: "Anywhere outdoors and I am not typically an outdoors kind of gal!"

Paula: "For scrapping, I go to the gallery at Sweet Shoppe Designs. For life, I read my scriptures."

Juli: "A quiet spot in a comfy chair with design and scrapbook magazines."

Jen: "I love being outside so, no matter the season, I always feel refreshed after being outdoors. I love to hike, snowshoe, and nap in my hammock in our backyard forest!"

Lucrecia: "My office at home. If I feel in a rut I just hop on to the gallery at SSD or look through the challenges there and it helps get the creativity flowing."

Sam: "The bathroom - really! Because it's the only place I can sit uninterrupted and look through my magazines and get ideas."

Shannon: "SSD!"

SaraAmarie: "There's beautiful red rocks all around where I live. To go out and hike, play in the creeks with my girls, or just sit and look over the landscape that goes on for miles and miles is very renewing. There is one canyon that I hold extra special- red rocks that fade into beautiful mountains with soft green rolling field on the canyon floor- makes me smile just thinking about being there!"

The product I picked for the random give away is the Basically Embellished Paper Pack. So let us know what your answer is in the comment section of this post so we can get to know you! :)

New Album and Flowers in the Shoppe!

Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is going great! I have two new goodies in the store today. First I have a flower pack- Tons of Tiny Flowers and Jewels. I just love all these cute little flowers!

The other is the Basically Neutral Album which actually comes with all those cute flowers pictured above! I completely adore this album! It is so versatile that it truly can be used for any themed album! Check out this list of ideas:

*Add just a touch of elements in your wedding color and it will be perfect for wedding photos.
*Add a few soft pink or blue flowers and it would be perfect for baby photos.
*Add a few bright funky elements and it would be a fun teen or friendship album.
*Add your fav goodies and make it an all about me album.
*The list could go on and on!

Plus this one is a little different. The main quickpages are designed for Maya Road 6x6 binder album BUT the binder has a little extra room so I have also included front and back quickpages for 3 of the mini heart album pages. You can simply open up the binder and put in the extra pages (you will be left with 3 extra heart pages to add to another project!). If you don't want to add them, just leave those out. The idea of mixing shapes in one album makes it unique and fun!


I asked my wonderful Creative Team to use one of the pages to show you how versatile this album really can be! All these started from the same page! Check them out:

Monday's VERY late challenge

Hey girls! I'm so sorry I am late posting this!! Gee I hope Sara doesn't fire me for being a space case this month! LOL

Anyway, for the challenge today!! Let's do a "by the numbers" challenge. I'll give you a list of things and you have to use that many things on your LO. There is a small hitch to this, let's make it a summer themed LO.

Here's the list:

2 photos

4 patterned papers

6 elements

8 lines of journaling

Please upload your LOs to your favorite online gallery and come back and post the link here. If you aren't comfortable with that, you're welcome to post your LO on your blog or your photobucket account and post the link here. 

How long do you have to get it finished? Let's say by Friday August 1 at 9:00 PM PST. The winner will receive their choice of any of SaraAmarie's products in her store.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!
