I like to highlight a few kits from the featured designer but man that’s hard Wendy has so many!
My very favorite by far is actually 2 kits but you need the bundle because it works so well together! “Pride and Prejudice” are so sophisticated and beautiful, classic and feminine! I LOVE THEM!

Ok my second favorite I like in the bundle as well… “Jack Frost and Crystal” are beautiful not only for winter but any whimsical page you might want to create!

Last I want to highlight “Urban Daisy” because this kit is fabulous for both men and women, girl and boy layouts! It is classic and contemporary, beautiful yet urban!

Go check out her store for yourself! There are many more gorgeous kits!

New Releases May 6-12

Wow do I have a lot to share with you!  There were so many new releases last week!

First up is “The Orient” by Scraps N Pieces.  This kit has rich colors and fabulous elements that were hand drawn by Heidi making it a one of a kind kit you will just love!  You can use this kit for a variety of layouts, from martial arts to chinese new year, Epcot vacations or trips to the far east… Do you celebrate special occassions with Habachi dinners? Are the panda bears at the zoo your child’s favorite?  This kit is for you!

Wendy Tunison Designs has released the newest color in the “Simplicity” series.  “Simply Purple” is simply fabulous! The rich purples work beautifully with with black and white of the original kit and black and white photos look stunning with it!  She also added an alpha pack with 4 alphas that will work great with all of the “Simplicity” kits!

If you missed “One Small Step” during Bits N Pieces you can now get the entire kit all bundled up together!  This is a fabulous space kit that works wonderfully for both boys and girls. The bundle includes the elements, papers, and alpha!  If you missed her speed scrap that gave away “For Peep’s Sake Part 2″ you can pick it up in the store now. This is such an adorable Easter kit. I love the mix of elements!

Have you seen the “World Traveler” collab between Keystone Scraps and Wendy Tunison Designs?  It is absolutely gorgeous! The ladies have made a Quick Page pack for you with “World Traveler” that is now in the store!

Keystone Scraps has also added “World Traveler: Washington DC” to the series.  It has many of the main landmarks and more papers that coordinate to what you already have!  I think I am going to re-do our Washington DC pages because these are so classy, hmmm or maybe we just need to take another trip!

Did you miss Keystone Scraps “Take Me to Your Leader” during Bits N Pieces?  You can get the papers, elements, word art, and alpha all together in one awesome kit. Who knew aliens could be so cute?

I just recently started using Quick Pages again and I forgot how quick and easy scrapping could be when you need to catch up!  Keystone Scraps also released a Quick Page pack for “Magic Every Day”

I absolutely adore the newest word art packs from Memories by Digital Design.  They are just perfect for titling those fun childhood pages!  Who hasn’t been “caught red handed” with a hand in the cookie jar or painting on the walls?  As cute as they are for kiddos they definitely aren’t limited to kids!  “Idioms Vol. 1″ has tons of common idioms and “Idioms Vol. 2″ is centered around food idioms.

If you love them as much as me you can also get them as a bundle!

Queen Wild Scraps has released her pregnancy themed kit “Forty Weeks”  This kit is perfect for scrapping ultrasound pictures, belly pictures, baby showers and more!

Do you love template packs as much as I do?  AK Designs makes fabulous templates!  She has just released “Template Pack 7″ into the store!

Hope your still with me because we have MORE new kits!!!

Mommy Made This released “Alphabet Zoo” with 70 elements, including an animal for every letter A-Z, and 24 papers, this kit is HUGE!  I just finished an Animal ABC unit in Kindergarten so I am definitely going to pick this up for next year!!!

Amy’s Designs released a new kit titled “Scottie” that is just adorable. It has a variety of flowers, a cute felt Scottie dog, and great patterned papers!  This kit works great for boys, girls, and fur babies!

I told you we had a lot of new releases!!! I’m sure there were at least a few things in there that you are rushing off to shop for!

Amy’s Beautiful Life Kit and a Freebie for you!

This week I was able to work with the Beautiful Life kit from Amy’s Designs which is on sale for 50% off.  Amy is the featured designer at Scraps-N-Pieces right now and her store is all on sale for 50% off until May 15th.

This kit has such pretty colors, gorgeous papers, and lovely elements!  The hardest part was deciding which pictures to scrap.

I made two layouts.  The first one is made with the May Challenge template available in the SNP store this month.  Why don’t you go grab it HERE and join the Challenge!  For this layout I used several of the papers from the kit for the little squares in the layout, and a beautifully decorated brown paper for the main background piece.  I love how the flowers pop against that brown background!  This is a page about Lollipops – it is so fun to watch toddler grandchildren eat them even though they do get so sticky.

The second layout was done using a variation on Bethany’s class kit template which she so graciously allowed me to use to create this layout – and a Quick Page for you.  You can grab the template for free right now. There is a link on her blog HERE, along with her class kit.  I think it adapted really well to the pretty papers in theBeautiful Life  kit. There are so many different papers in there it was hard to choose which ones I liked best but I do tend toward those gorgeous blues and browns.  They are so versatile for many subjects.

This layout has been made into a quick page for you.

You can download it HERE.  I hope you enjoy it. And, don’t forget to run over to the Scraps-N-Pieces store to get Amy’s Beautiful Life kit while it is on sale.
