We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the first ever Sunshine Challenge! It was a huge success and we had nearly 135 participants! Please give us a day or two to make sure we got everyone’s correct links and email addresses so we can start to email out your participation kit as well as the extra goodies from Shauna (PineapplePlantation Designs) if you used anything from our Walking On Sunshine Collab. We will be announcing the random winner of Megs’ (THE Flergs) Gift Card soon. Again please do not submit anymore LO’s. Be on the look out this week for Challenge #2! See you Soon!

~The Sunshine Gang

Because we’re ready to give you one! And HERE is what you get if you play!!

Hi Ladies! Shauna here again!…Here it is… our first weekly challenge: “The Sunny Side of You!” Now ladies, settle down… no pushing and shoving to download the freebie… ’cause you only get the participation prize, if you PARTICIPATE!!! (insert diabolical laugh here…).

You got it…. you heard me right LOL! We’re holding this gorgeous Sunny Side Up Kit HOSTAGE until you show us YOUR sunny side!

For the past few months you have all gotten to know us…the Sunshine Girls, and now WE want to get to know YOU! So, ladies–here is your challenge–should you choose to accept it:

Basic Rules

1. Complete a layout with whatever digi scrapping materials you choose that tells us about YOU! There are 14 of us, and we EACH want a different fact about you…(greedy little things aren’t we?) You decide HOW to incorporate these facts into your layout (for example, in journaling, as a list, maybe pictures if you prefer) but there needs to be 14 different personal facts (hey…not TOO personal ok ladies? It IS a G rated blog after all…he he he)!

2. Then post that LO in your favorite gallery and leave a link to your LO in the comments section of this post ALONG with your email address so that we can email you the link to your participation prize! What? Some of you are shy about leaving your email address on our blog? (what do you think, that we’ll stalk you or something??? LOL…ok…some of us might…one or two maybe, but we’re pretty harmless overall! LOL) if that’s the case, simply email your link to our “Challenge Queen” Trish at TemplatesAndMore@hotmail.com and she’ll make sure that Monica can’t get your address (sshhh…don’t tell Monica that I “outed” her as our potential stalker… LOL!) AND she’ll be sure to send you your participation prizes…everyone’s a winner!!

That’s it! You do a layout, get a cool kit and introduce yourselves to us!!

Too easy right?

Well if you want a bigger challenge and a BIGGER prize to go with it…then simply create your challenge layout with any of our Walking on Sunshine kits (Bright, Shabby or Mega) and you’ll get a bonus gift from me (Shauna, one of my Commercial Use Overlays) AND you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $10.00 gift certificate from our very own Flergs of Studio Flergs!

So what are you waiting for? Get busy… show us your “Sunny Side” (we can’t wait to see it)!

Our very own Franziska’s take on this challenge… Love it Franziska!!

Deadline? oh yea! LOL I’m nooo good at them which is PROBABLY why I forgot to post it! he he he! The deadline for submissions is this Monday, March 31st…Noon EST!

*QUICK UPDATE* Please Read!! One of our sunshine girls has had an emergency and we’re unsure if her links will be active by the time you get there… If for any reason you come to a site that doesn’t yet have it’s links posted or if those links don’t yet work… PLEASE just be patient…this is a really complicated matter with all of our different time zones! The links WILL eventually (and by eventually, I mean as quickly as we possibly can) be corrected or posted!…. Remember this is fun!! LOL

Congratulations! You’ve found it!!! The GOLDEN EGG is our new Sunshine Studio Scraps Blog and our very first blog freebie!

After having soooo much fun creating and designing our collaborative freebies for you this past Christmas (Whimsical Wonderland) and Valentines Day (Love Actually), we Sunshine Girls (and our new Mr. Sunshine…Vasco) decided that we needed a more permanent home to reside, and for all of you, our dear freebie hunting friends, to visit us at! And what better way for all of you to find us for the first time then during our newest collaborative “mega” freebie Sunshine Sweets!!

Before you download our first blog freebie, PLEASE take the time to bookmark our new blog… (trust me, you’ll WANT to!) because we have SO many more goodies, surprises, challenges and fun in store for you!

In fact…in addition to the blog freebie you download, you’ll find the link to the next Easter Egg on the bunny trail (from one of our MOST beloved designers), plus a folder with ANOTHER gift for you and a sneak peeks at the next HUGE, (and if I might say…GORGEOUS) collaborative effort of the Sunshine Designers! (can’t say Sunshine Girls anymore, that just wouldn’t be PC now would it! LOL)

So what are you waiting for? …Go! Bookmark us! Download! Finish the 1st Annual Sunshine Studio Scraps Egg Hunt and then come back and check out our new blog a bit more! Better yet… leave a comment here and let us know what you think about Sunshine Sweets, our new blog, and all of your goodies! (5 lucky people will receive a free kit from one of us!)

Wishing you a day full of sunshine,

Friends, put on your sunglasses! Things are about to get very bright here! Did you know that the Sunshine Girls have just released our first collaboration–Walking on Sunshine?

This kit is jam-packed with both sunny and shabby goodness! It includes over 80 unique papers and over 280 elements, including floral and glittery overlays, brackets and mats, along with 7 alphabets. Over 750mb all together!

And that’s not all! You can purchase this kit in two separate parts: Bright & Sunny and Shabby & Chic. Here’s a sneak peek:

There is also a collection of Quick Pages (sold together and in sets of 3), a set of glitter, plastic and plastic-glitter Styles, a Brag Book and a set of Paper Overlays! It’s insane! We all had a part to contribute and we made the things we were best at! (We made a lot.)

So, do you love us for all we’ve done for you in the past? Do you want to give us a little show of support? Get yourself a little bit of sunshine at these shops!:

Happy scrapping!

Hello! And welcome to the blog of the Sunshine Girls (and our newly appointed guy). We’re so glad to have our own place to talk to you and give you all the latest news on what we’re up to!

Are you getting ready for Easter? Well we are, too. We can’t wait to share all the fun with you! Stay tuned next Friday for the Eggs-travaganza that we have planned for you. We’re going to have an Easter Egg Hunt! Don’t worry–it will be an easy one to follow! There won’t be any tears, like there where when you were five and you couldn’t find the eggs your tricky father hid behind rocks or up in trees (not that I had one of those–Ha!). We play nice and we’ll leave the eggs out in the open grass for you.

And we also have another huge surprise for you that’s currently in the works, too. Hopefully we will be ready to tell you all about it early next week! Lots and LOTS of Sunshine-y goodness! You’re going to love it. That’s all I’m going to say for now…

Happy scrapping!
