June {SAS}sy reveals
This month I got an awesome kit from Lauri with Crate Paper Lillian and Fancy Pants Kraft Kuts, plus lots of cool extras and embellies! It was so versatile, I had a lot of fun making these pages. Here is a link to the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking store where you can find these layouts and the supplies used in the Design Team Gallery. TFL!

{SAS}sy blog hop
If my blog is the first place you have come welcome! To make sure you don’t miss out on any of the great {SAS}sy blogs I suggest you start at the beginning of the {Blog Hop} by visiting Scrap Attack Scrapbooking: http://www.ScrapAttackScrapbooking.blogspot.com and then work your way around the rest of the blogs.
Distress Stickles Challenge
Hopefully you're enjoying the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking {Blog Hop} today! There's definitely a lot of inspiration showing up on everyone’s blogs. You probably got to mine from . Your next stop on the hop is http://scrappinjewlz.blogspot.com/ . There are 16 total blogs so make sure you hit them all!
Scrap Attack Scrapbooking will be donating prizes from all comments left on all 16 blogs so make sure and comment so you are eligible to win!
Comments will be gathered on the 23rd from all the blog hop sites, so be sure to comment before then to be eligible for a prize from Scrap Attack Scrapbooking.
Remember, in order to be entered into a RAK for this challenge, please link your project in the comments by midnight, July 2nd PDT.
The winner of this challenge will receive a RAK from me - 3 new bottles of Distress Stickles in the following colors: Fired Brick (red), Scattered Straw (yellow), and Spiced Marmalade (Orange).
Your challenge is to make a scrapbook page with at least one item completely covered in Distress Stickles. Don't have any? Shop for some here at the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking store.
You can cover whatever you want, just make sure it is completely covered. Some ideas are chipboard, die-cuts, alphas, a large pattern on your paper, etc. Here are some tips to help you out:
1. If you are covering raw or white chipboard, ink it with a coordination color first, as Distress Stickles leave a translucent finish.
2. For the same reason, if you are covering an area that is already colored, choose a similar color of Distress Stickles.
3. Use a liberal amount and don't be afraid of using too much, too light of coverage will result in very little texture.
4. Distress Stickles take a LONG time to dry, they are very watery and will not look good until completely dried. Best to leave it overnight.
5. For a little boost, you can use your heat gun to help it dry, but be careful of warping your project.
Examples:
1. Here I inked some raw chipboard with orange chalk ink, then covered in Spiced Marmalade stickles.
2. Here I used a BG sticker die-cut that was already colored (blue, red, and yellow for the different words), and then covered each section with coordinating colors.
To be eligble for the Distress Stickles RAK, please leave a comment with a link to your project by midnight July 2nd, Pacific Time. Winner will be picked by random drawing. (**due to shipping concerns, international readers are welcome to participate but will instead win a $10.00 gift card to the Scrap Attack Scrapbooking store)

Design team call at {SAS}
I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a design team call going on at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking right now. You can find the full details here at this blog post. The deadline is June 30th, 2009.
My term on the design team started back in November of last year. I was so elated when I found out that I had made the team! Lauri immediately sent me a kit filled with new product and goodies. Every month I got something new and exciting. Some months were a cinch for me and I made up to 8 layouts, others stretched my abilities and made me think outside of my "comfort zone", but I am still grateful for those opportunities to try different items and techniques that I wouldn't have normally. I love that being on an online team means that you make layouts for yourself, that you keep for your own albums. All you need to submit back is a picture of your finished product - it's that easy!
I've had a wonderful time on the DT at {SAS} and I cannot say enough good things about the message board, the store, and the owner, Lauri. I even had the pleasure of meeting her face to face when I went to the retreat in Portland, she was so nice to hand-deliver our online order right to us in the hotel!
This was my first time ever being on a design team, but hopefully it will not be my last. I've been asked to reapply for my position, but I'm choosing not to for personal reasons. Basically, my life is too overwhelming for me at the moment, and I need to scale back on some of my commitents. I don't plan on being absent from the all the excitement going on {SAS}, but I will take a break on the sidelines for awhile. I encourage anyone who may be thinking about it to try out, you certainly won't regret it!
