End of Summer Extravaganza!!!

Okay, well maybe not an extravaganza, but definitely some noteworthy kits!!

I just wanted to give another shout out to some of my favorite kits right now. In no particular order, first up is Crisdam Designs "Danny". This kit is so full of color. It's perfect for a little boy and can also be use for a little girl. The next kit will be "Business Casual" by Monica Evan, and then we will look at a kit by Jeanelle Paige over at ACOT.

The Danny Collection is full of fun bright papers and elements that will help you scrap all of your boys pages! Included in this collection: {16} 12x12 inches distress, textured, plain and pattered papers. 2 different journal tags 4 different epoxy buttons (playtime, precious little boy, sweet dreams, and welcome home) 4 acrylic word labels (nap-time, sleepy-head, snuggle bug, and giggles) 4 recolored rubber band photo wrappers 2 recolored safety pins 5 different stickers (giraffe, elephant, sheep, train, and car) 4 recolored bows 1 metal fastener 1 ribbon button flower 2 different button with ribbons (with and with out shadow) 1 threaded button 1 string of stitching (12" long) 1 scallop frame 2 different alpha bead words (precious, and bundle of joy) A total of 36 unique elements. All files have been created at 300dpi for high-quality printing. All papers are saved as jpg and the elements are .png files. This collection is for PERSONAL use only!



The next kit I want to highlight is "Business Casual" by Monica Evans! This kit is gorgeous and had beautiful colors.

This kit was inspired by the dress code at Monica's work and may also be considered a revamping of her Casual Friday kit. This kit may be work inspired, but it is most definitely not work limited. Included in this kit: 12 papers, all 12"x12" at 300 dpi 3 sets of full sheet alphas, uppercase, lowercase, and numbers and symbols 2 calendar notes 3 bordered tabs 3 label tabs 1 stitched journal 2 flower clipped journals 1 round tag 2 paper tags 2 belts 2 belts with loops 2 page borders 1 button border 3 stapled buttons 3 stringed clips 3 folded flowers 1 photo corner 3 frames 2 ribbon paperclips 2 ribbons 2 staples 2 journal wraps 1 tag on string



The third and final kit is "Emolicious" by Jeanelle Paige! I love this kit. It is so bright and fun, and yet soo so funky!

Emolicious is a fun kit that can be used for teens that are into that "style". Papers and graphics can also be used for MySpace layouts or Blog layouts. Kit includes: 10 papers, 4 bandages, 5 binder clips, 5 buttons, 1 crinkled notepaper, 1 dotted circle brush, 5 felt hearts, 8 sequined flowers, 5 laced eyelets, 5 ribbons, and 1 skull brush.
