Hello and Happy Spring!
It is Marelle here, I have been looking after the site while Kerry has been unwell.
Kerry has decided to step down from running the site due to family commitments and health issues. From September 1st I have taken on the task of looking after the site permanently. So, I would like to thank Kerry for all her hard work getting the site up and running, and I promise that I will look after SUYS very well!
There have been a few changes here at SUYS and I would like to let you all know about these.
Firstly Crystal Bowman-Goulding has resigned from her DT spot, thank you so much lovely lady for all your inspiration and we wish you well in your future endeavours.
Secondly, Samantha Hauzer has also resigned from her DT spot to concentrate on her embellishment business Purple Pumpkin. Thanks so much Sam for your inspiration and commitment to SUYS.
I would like to thank all the DT for their ongoing commitment support and inspiration to SUYS, such a fantastic group of talented ladies..
Until my next post,
Happy Spring!!

A Lil' About Us
We are 2 scrapping sisters who love to make and use hand crafted embellishments on our layouts. We both have boys, and have noticed a severe lack of BOY SPECIFIC embellishments available for purchase, so have decided that we might try to fill the void with our hand crafted unique embellishments.
The majority of our products are made using re-purposed materials and a lot of love. We have limited edition sales on a regular basis… so make sure you pop over to our facebook page and “like” us to get the latest updates on when and what they are.
We are thrilled to be sponsoring Show Us Your Stuff and look forward to seeing the gorgeous layouts you all create.
Thank you Wendy and Susan for donating a lovely pack of your fabulous goodies for September!
Also we have a fabulous $50 pack of ribbons from Craft Queen
Have you seen the fantastic range of ribbons and buttons Craft Queen has in stock - just perfect for all those hand made embellishments!
Thanks to all our September sponsors for their generosity.
Don't forget to visit their stores to keep up with their sales and new products.

LOOK WHO IS OUR GUEST DT THIS MONTH!!
We welcome the lovely
Sue Plumb!
Hi, my name is Sue Plumb and I live on the Sunshine Coast in Qld with my partner of 10 years, Shannon. I am a SAHM to our one gorgeous girl, Brielle, who is 3.
I have been scrapping for approximately 4 years now, but didn't really get into it until after Brielle was born. Am not quite sure how to describe my scrapping 'style', as I am always changing and trying new things. I do love to use bright colours though, and also love to get my hands dirty on a regular basis with paint / mists / ink.
Over the last 2 years I have dived into the online scrapping community, where I am constantly inspired by the wealth of talented scrappers and am proud to call many of them my friends. I have also been lucky enough to serve on a few DTs, as well as being published in both Scrapbooking Memories and Scrapbook Creations.
My current creative "baby" (aside from the scrapping itself, of course!) is Lovelybug Bits n Bobs, which evolved from me making embellishments for my own layouts, to then selling to others online. From there it has grown to having its own blog page & Facebook page and also to providing sponsorship for online challenges. (And the odd random giveaway or two!)
I was so excited to be asked to be a guest designer at Show Us Your Stuff, so a big thanks to Kerry & Marelle for having me! X
If you would like to pop my blog, you can find it here: http://soupie75.blogspot.com/
Take a look at the gorgeous layout Sue did from our Group 1 challenge this month wow I love it!
Thanks so much Sue for being our August Guest DTxx
