Aussie Scrap Source is the exclusive distributor of Sassafras products in Australia. They are just fantastic and we have been friends for quite a few years now. We were thrilled with the news that Aussie Scrap Source would be running their very first manufacturers challenge featuring yours truly, Sassafras. What we didn't realize was how challenging it would be to judge the contest and decide on just one winner. We narrowed it down to our top favorites, and then had our head designer Tim make the final pick. Today we share with you what we consider to be some serious talent coming from down under.
Belinda Venables chose paper from the sweetly smitten line for her entry. In my opinion this project looks even more luscious than the lolly. For those Australian retailers reading this post let me read your mind and answer... YES you can find the sweetly smitten line at Aussie Scrap Source!
Christine Rumley combined "Mix and Mend" with her vintage stash of Sassafras alpha stickers to create this absolutely darling project. I hope Christine also entered this project in a contest for adorable baby pictures.
Another favorite project created by Georgia Keays. "Sweetly Smitten" pattern papers topped with the Sweetly Foldies equals an end result of beautiful.
Natalie Elphinstone has done it again, creating another eye catching project using loads of Sassafras goodies. She uses "Tailored Deck" paper whimsies to count just a few of the reasons for loving her sweet bundle. Can't think of a better use for paper products than that!
Piradee uses one of my favorite "Starters" papers as her base and builds a simply elegant project from their. I like how she tied in patterns from previous collections.
Speaking of tied in... eye spy one of those really cool "Entwined Blooms". Nice touch Piradee!
And ladies and gentlemen this brings me to the winning project created by the one and only super talented Kathleen Glossop! Ohhh she's good.... she's really good! So what does this mean for Kathleen? Kathleen does receive a nice box of goodies AND a guest appearance right here on the Sassafras blog. BUT I would have to say we are all going to feel like winners from this contest because Kathleen is going to bring us inspiration galore .... coming up in May. I'm excited to see, and I'm sure you will be too.
Thank you Aussie Scrap Source for hosting a fabulous contest, it was great fun to see a bit of the wonderful talent you have in Australia!
p.s.
AND thank you for always bringing those scrumptious Tim Tams to the states when you visit =)

I think either Sassy staff/DT members have excellent picking taste or Sassy artists are above and beyond talented because I always agree with every single choice for the "Favorites" stories. LOVE all these pages and I am inspired to try a few of these ideas for my self!
