We are now entering the final round of the Design Star competition. Congrats to the ladies moving on to Round Four!

Things have been so busy today with all the goings on in the forum/gallery and shop that I haven’t been able to get in and post the Design Star winners. Here they are:

Introducing the SM Design Star Apprentices!

I am so excited to announce our newest apprentices: Chelle’s Creations (markyzmom), Hafen Creations (BrianneHafen), Man In The Moon, Plum Dumpling Designs (little hiccup) and Sahlin Studios (sahlinks). Everyone was so talented, we had such a difficult time choosing our winners. We offered the runners-up spots on our site CT and are so happy to have them continue to be part of the SM family. Congratulations to all of these talented ladies.

Here are some highlights of what they’ve put in the shop for you today. In alphabetical order:

Hello—I can’t believe how easy it is to hit the wrong button in phpList–I thought I was pushing test and hit send.  I might go back to our old newsletter mailer, at least you could stop it when there was a mistake.  I think the newsletter is going out now, but you might get a blank one first or not.  Since I really can’t tell what’s going on with the mailing I thought I would post this month’s newsletter here.  So keep reading and you’ll find all of the important links!

It’s hard to believe that March is here already. I’m happy to present the March issue of the SM newsletter. Included as usual in our newsletter is a fabulous free kit. This month features a fabulous travel-themed kit called “Enjoy the Journey” by Heather (Dirty Feet Designs) and Wendy (wm2 designs).  There is also a great tutorial by Heather of Joy Revisited Designs.

Our Design Star Contest is moving along just great.  It was so hard to narrow down the contestants.  We received 90 mini-kits and tried to pick 20 favorites–we just couldn’t do it, so there are 25 contestants moving on to round two.  The round one mini-kits are almost finished as freebies and the round two paper packs are going up tomorrow morning.  So hurry to get these fabulous freebies while they are still available in one convenient place.

If you’re looking for the freebies log into our forum and hop on over to the gallery from there and check out all of the free mini-kits/paper packs in the Design Star category (you have to scroll down to almost the bottom of the gallery to find them). You must be registered and logged into the forum first and then click on the gallery button to see the entries.

We’re giving you several options from which to download your newsletter. They all have the exact same newsletter.

I hope you enjoy it. Andrea & the SM newsletter group
