An Award, Fun Stuff and a Freebie

Ok, stick with me, this may be a little long, but totally worth it!!! (If you want to skip the fun stuff the freebie is at the bottom, but I wouldn't if I were you!)

First off, I'll start with the fun:

Did you forget it was Sunshine Wonder Week? I hope not!


We are finishing up the Daily Download and starting the One Kit Wonder, my entry is almost finished, I can't wait to share it with you!


Here is my entry for the Pimp My Quick Page Event:


The Aquabus is almost a cartoon boat, they are so cute! Slowly, I am starting to work on my Alaskan cruise pictures, so keep checking back to see what I have to share.


Second, did you know that you can get free stuff from the Sunshine Designers? What do you mean, No....Well, I will let you in on a new promotion! The Give Away Desk! It works like this:

Some designers will offer a copy of their new products to those that advertise them in their blogs.

1. Check the topics in this forum . Make sure that are still active.
2. Post the image of the product on your own blog.
3. Link your image/post to the item in the store and tell all of your blog readers why you think this products is so cool.
4. Then go back to the forum and leave a message in the topic with the link to your blog.
   

There will be a drawing one week after the original post to give a copy of the product to the winner! That's it! How much easier could it be?

So on that note:
The amazing Amy Sumrall has a new "chic" collab with Krystal Hartley:

for some reason, I feel like I need to take my niece shopping, LOL!

The talented Kiki Halbert, has Haute Pink! Did someone tell Kiki that I love pink??



Last, but in no way least, the wonderful Beckie Wallace has Sadie's Garden:

How fun for all those backyard summer photos!

And Beckie Wallace gave me an award that I must mention! I feel so flattered!!!



The rules of the award are:

1. The winner can put the logo on her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the girls you’ve nominated.
   

So, here are my nominations:

1. The talented photographer, Holly McCaig
   
2. The amazing photoshop brush designer, Silvia
3. The modern day pioneer woman, Ree
4. The english woman who always makes me laugh, Kirsty
5. The woman that feeds my desperate need for fonts (and recipes!), Amanda
6. The queen of templates, Andrea
7. The cutest little girl out there, Sabrina

And last, of course the freebie:

Hubbard Glacier Video and a Freebie

First I have to share a video of Hubbard Glacier, this is too awesome to keep to myself:

Second, some of you may remember at design contest at Scrap Orchard called "So You Think You Can Design" and I have some entries that are sitting around in my 4shared account and I am going to start giving them away.

So, without further ado, here is my first freebie for you, a white space 2 page template:

just click on the image to download

If you already downloaded this when Scrap Orchard was having their contest, don't be sad, I am working on more templates and mini kits that will be making their debut, here on my blog.

Alaska Update 2 and other news

So, when we visited Skagway we found all kinds of famous people. It was rumored that Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart were there. We looked, but never did see them. And for those old enough to remember the late 80's and early 90's, we saw the Nelson brothers, you know, Matthew and Gunnar, way back then they when they had long hair. They actually performed on our ship the next night! BTW, much sexier with the short hair. They did a tribute to their father. I was impressed, I wasn't a big fan of their early careers, but they sounded awesome!

We also went ATVing (I am sure that is not a real word!) in Hoonah, and that was the most amazing time. I am pretty sure that I wasn't sitting on the seat for more than 20% of that trip! We took the ATV's to the top of a mountain that had an amazing view, so here is a pic from the top of the mountain in Hoonah.


We are now at the Anchorage airport getting ready to head home. Not really happy about that but I guess I have to go back some time.

In other news, have you seen what is new at Sunshine Studio Scraps? Oh my, I have missed a bunch of great stuff! As soon as I get home and get some sleep, the first thing I am going to do is get and that shop and spend some of my $$$$ that I didn't spend on the cruise.

I will be back with more updates as soon as I can.

Well, that's all for now, Wonder Girl Janel signing out until next time.

Alaska update 1

For everyone that is keeping track, I am on the Radiance of the Seas, going up the Alaskan Inside Passage.

I have to be quick, internet access is .55 cents/minute!

So, in the essence of being quick, here are a few pics:

A bald eagle from Ketchikan:

From Mendenhall Glacier:

From Glacier Gardens:

I will be back with more later, including my Alaskan snorkeling adventure!

Before I go....

I may not be around for a while. I am leaving for an Alaskan cruise today!!! I will be back on the 13th. If I can find the internet in Alaska (LOL), I am going to try and post some photos while I am gone so you may want to check in once or twice!

But I have 2 things before I go:

The Sunshine Studio Scraps Newsletter just had its debut, are you signed up? The next one will be coming soon!!! Shhhhh, don't tell, but I heard that the PDPlum ladies have offered a newsletter freebie. How awesome is that!!!! There is a link on the left side bar to sign up, you don't want to miss this.

Also the July QP Olympics will be starting soon and will feature Cinnamon Breeze by Monica (mgl Scraps). Have you seen this amazing kit? Wow!!!



Keep checking the Sunshine Studio Blog for information on when it will start, and that post will also have a discount coupon code!!!

Well, that's all for now, Wonder Girl Janel signing out until next time.
