Friday’s here!! And that means that we’re finally revealing who the new Sunshine Girls are!! I know you already had a sneak peek at the list if you grabbed Mango Tango (which is still available and completely gorgeous, so you definitely need to grab it if you haven’t yet—which reminds me that I haven’t yet! LOL) or if you subscribed to our Newsletter! The newsletter has a short bio for each designer, so if you want to learn more about them click on that button to the right and subscribe.

Anyhow! Without any further ado… here they are!

Seriously. Go check them out!! The store is bursting with all the gorgeous new goodies. And as if that isn’t enough there’s 20% off sale as a welcome!! It’s not just the new girls, but ALL of the Sunshine Girls (minus most commercial use items)… so if you’ve been eyeing a kit or pack and haven’t gotten it yet, now’s your chance!

This week we’re going to do a lift with not one, but two twists! So basically you have to scraplift this layout by Franziska. But you have to flip it, rotate it, turn it 180… whatever! Just change it in some way!

I know, I know. That’s only one twist! Well here’s the second one. See how Ziska’s picture matches the kit (Bohemian Rock Candy, which is on sale this week) perfectly? The pink and the pink, the blue and the blue, (and there’s actually green in the kit to match that green light!) and even the guitar and the guitar! LOL. You can interpret this twist in any way you’d like. You can match colors or you can match themes, but you have to match something! Tell us what it is in the credits too.  

Here are some lovely LOs by our Sweeties to get you inspired.

Here’s one from Amy, matching the colors.

Here’s one by Francie matching the colors of Jigsaw Pieces

Here’s one by Heather that matches colors and theme as well!

The deadline for this challenge is Friday, midnight EST! Don’t forget! You don’t need to use a SUN kit for the challenge, though we would love it, of course!

 Want to see what you get for playing along? Ellie and Allie teamed up to bring you this gorgeous prize!

Hey girls! Sweetie Alice here, bringing you the news of the newest collaboration… and it’s not just SUN girls! There are 14 wonderful designer that contributed to this gorgeous kit, including Amy Sumrall, Ellie Lash, Flergs, Franziska Altmann, Heather Manning, Kim B’s Designs, Krystal Hartley, Lost Gurlz Venture Designs, mgl Scraps, Miss Crow, Moon Scraps, Polka Dot Plum, Sugarplum Paperie, Tracey Monette, Web Designz by Kristi and Wenchd Grafix.

So not only do you get lots of SUNny goodness, you get some gorgeous designs from other amazing designers as well! There are 85… count them if you don’t believe me… papers and over 140 elements!! (I think Nicole got tired of counting them. LOL) So for a kit this big, you must expect the price tag to be well over $10 right? Well you’re wrong! It is only $7.99!

Let’s Connect is available in several different stores, including right here at Sunshine Studio Scraps.

Alright. Enough talking. Let me show you the preview!

Here’s a look at the papers.

And here are some more elements!

Not tempted yet? Look in our gallery for some inspiration!

Oh! I forgot to mention… there’s a chance you could WIN this gorgeous collab! Just pop on over to this thread at The Happy Place and let us know how you stay connected. 3 lucky winners will receive this kit.

Hey girls! It’s time for another element challenge! This time the challenge is to use some sort of beach element. Anything goes! But just in case you’re stuck… Amy doodled up a beach ball and an umbrella for you.   Click on the image to download. Or click here.

We’d love for you to use SUN products for the Challenge but you may use other products if you really want to.  

Don’t forget to post your layout in the SUN gallery so we can leave you love! And then link us in this thread. One lucky participant will receive a $5 GC to the store.

 Deadline: Friday, midnight EST

Hi everyone! Alice (fa11enan9e1) checking in here to bring you the LOTW! So for those of you who have been keeping track of what happens in the forums, you know that we have a on-going layout of the day! Every day one of us Sunshine Spreaders–me, kistal1027, Crystal and paperboutique–pick a layout that stands out to us from the gallery. Every Saturday, instead of picking a new layout, we pick our favorite of the ones we picked that week… Welll…. the closest that we can get! It’s always so difficult because all of the layouts are so gorgeous! Here is the third Layout of the Week that we chose. It is Your Eyes by bergstromfarms. Click on the image below and go leave her some love!! And upload your gorgeous SUN layouts to the gallery and you might just be next.

 Oh! I almost forgot! The LOTW winner always gets a QP made by one of us. Here is the one bergstromfarms is winning. It was made using Missing Yesterday, the newest Sunshine Collab.
