I just wanted to highlight some fabulous new kits from the great designers I work for! In no particular order:

First up is "Boys on Wheels" by Monica Evan



Included in this Kit: More than 10 papers and more than 30 elements! Click photo to go to store!



Next up is "Fall In To Autumn" by Crisdam Designs



This kit includes: 9 papers and over 20 elements! Fantastic for the fall photos you have around the house!

Next up is "Playset" by Jeanelle Paige



This kit includes: 12 papers and over 20 elements! It's perfect for those back to school pics or summer play time pics!

Last but certainly not least, this is "Charade" by Amy Teets.



This kit includes: 8 papers and approximately 15 elements. It's so pretty and serene! Just beautiful!

Yowzers!!

I just realized I have not posting in a VERY long time! I have been so busy! Just a few things to catch you all up on.

1. I am working on some freebies to give you all. Some I made myself and some are QP's created with the kits of the designers that I work for. You will love them all! I am positive!

2. My hubby and I are buying a new home so that has COMPLETELY consumed me! I have no time for anything right now. Clearly it has taken away from my scrapping lately. Life will be back to normal soon and the good thing is that I have collected TONS of photos to scrap!

3. There is another crop coming to ACOT. You will have a blast. Please visit ACOT for more info. I will also have an entire post soon devoted to it.

4. The best news of all in the scrapbooking world for me is that I was chosen to be a member of Amy Teets design team! She is fabulous and her designs ROCK! I will have an update later with what month I am going to be working for her along with some links to a blog and store for her.

Thanks for sticking with me! I am so sorry that life has kept me from scrapping and sharing nice free things with you! lol
