We’ve got two fantastic new kits that you can receive free with your $15 minimum purchase. Be sure to check out Bejeweled Harmony by mITSYBELLE and In Memory Of by Charlie’s DigiScraps. The two kits are very different, but both so stunning.

This is your last week to get our December Mega Kit, Hearth and Home on sale. Next week it goes up to full price, and we’ll be introducing our January Mega kit.

Don’t miss all the latest SAS-y news, including an announcement of two new SAS-y Ladies.

And of course we have all the latest on our new products, sales and great layouts to help inspire you.

Oops:

It was brought to my attention today that the link to the Hip Hip Hooray Quick Page by Charlie’s DigiScraps in the December 17^th newsletter was actually for Ambowife’s Sweet Quick Page. Here’s the correct link for Charlie’s page. There are three more newsletter exclusive freebies in here. Can you find them all?

SAS-y News:

Two Hellos:

Please join us in welcoming two fantastic new designers to the SAS-y Lady team. Laitha has already started to load some of her beautiful products into the boutique. Designs by Moo will start appearing soon. Between the two of them, we’re sure you’ll find lots of new things to add to your wish list!

And a Good-Bye:

We’re sorry to announce that one of our original SAS-y Ladies, Pamela of Digitreats, is leaving our team. Pamela had just returned from a leave of absence she’d taken to spend more time with her twins before they started school. Sadly, she’s found that she can’t keep up with all the demands on her time, and something had to give. You can get all her designs for just 50% off this week only, before they disappear for good.

Some Winners!

Thanks to everyone who voted. The winner of the Heritage Challenge is Jhollars for this beautiful layout (on left) showing her ancestor’s handwriting. Jean Ann has been crowned SAS-y Princess for her lovely Maternal Grandmothers (on right) layout.
