Kim Broedelet has released an new kit, "Antoinette", part of her "Friends Series". I loved playing with the vivid pinks, yellows, and blacks. Very cool color combo Kim!! Here's a page I made.

And here's a peek at all the other goodies Kim has stashed inside.

Also, to celebrate NSD, Digital Scrap Obesession is having a huge 50% off sale. It's for ONE DAY ONLY.

While there, be sure to take a peak at Kim and Bunny Cates HUGE Mega NSD CU Grab Bag they made for us this month. I've had a peek inside and it is AWESOME deal!! You get 10 brand new CU products for only $10 dollars!! That's a dollar a piece for each pack and each is full of goodies to play with!! Take a stroll by Bunny's and Kim's blogs for a few "hints" to what's stashed inside.

Here is another really really great NSD sale for you all. Jen at Chaos Lounge has put her entire store ,including CU Goodies, on sale for the entire week. Everything in her store is a whopping 50% off. Be sure to stop by and check out her awesome kits and CU goodies. Her kits are so much fun to play with and she makes the most wonderfully whimsical CU goodies. Jen is definitely my favorite artist of whimsy :-)

While your there, be sure to check out the other specials at Enchanted Studio Scraps. Everything in the store, except CU goodies is on sale May 1-4 for 50% off.

Jen has also released a new kit, "Home Sweet Home". It is a "revamp" of a collab "Comfy Cozy" she had done awhile back that was only in her DC store for a short time before she moved stores.

You can check out these past posts of mine "Gettin Comfy and Cozy" and "Vintage Charms" to see a couple of pages and snag a Freebie QP. I'd made them with Comfy Cozy but most all the elements I used are in "Home Sweet Home" as well plus many more fun new ones.

Kim B is one of my favorite designers and her kits always fun to play with. I ESPECIALLY love her "I Believe" series and have used them many times. They are my absolute favorite two kits of all time.

While your there be sure to check out Kim's newest grab bag. The birdhouses are just awesome, so many ideas came to mind to use them, nice Kim :)

Last week I got to play with a fun new collab by Jen at Chaos Lounge and A+ Designs, "Holly Springs Treasures". I loved playing with Jen's cute little sheep LOL!!

I've not had time to make a new freebie but I'm sharing an older one that I never did get to blog about. Last month the Sweet Tarts started giving away a weekly blog freebie at Digital Candy. The first week we did it, it was my week and this is the kit I'd made "Funky Flutters".

Ok, I'm off this thing to go fly a kite LOL!!! My little guy's kindergarten class flew kites today and apparently he didn't get enough. You all have a safe and blessed Easter :)

Gone Buggin with Little Sprite

Last week I had the pleasure of working with two awesome new kits. This first layout is done with "Going Buggy" a fun new collab out by Jen at Chaos Lounge and Melissa Daniel Designs. This kit is truly fun to play with, nice work ladies!! I had so many ideas when I first opened it that it was hard to pick which way to go LOL. I'm sure these two are the first of many ;)

"Afternoon Chat With Berry Bluebird"

"Gone Buggin"

Here's a peek at all the other goodies inside. You can grab it here at Enchanted Studio Scraps. I absolutely love those clouds Jen. Just too cool!! Jen has made her cute little critters from "Going Buggy" into a CU template pack for us "Going Buggy Commercial Use".
Jen also has an excellent sale going on right now. She has three of my favorite kits of hers on sale for just $1. Be sure to take advantage of it, you won't regret it. I've personally played with all three kits and loved each one of them, so much fun to play with!! You can see these kits in action and grab a few freebie QP's I've made with a couple of them at these following posts of mine: Chick Shack, Rainy Day Blues, and Summer's End.
Also, be sure to stop by Enchanted Studios forum and enter Jen's contest. You could win a kit designed especially for you. You can find out all about it here at ESS's Forum.
The next kit I got to play with was a very special charity collab, a huge mega kit, "Spirit of Summer". You can find out more about it here and on both Kim Broedelet's and Jen's blogs.

The ladies all did an AWESOME job and I'm happy to say this collab was a huge success. It's not to late to snag it for yourself and help out the folks affected by the wildfires in Australia. I had titled this one "Beautiful Day" but I sent it to Kim without a title and she renamed it for me "Stroll in the Park". I like her's much much better ;) That is perfect for this picture Kim!!

Stroll in the Park

For all the designers in the bunch, it's that time again, Kim Broedelet has released her March CU Grab Bag. As always, there are awesome goodies to be had. Here's a little sneek peek at what's inside.

This is "Little Sprite", a freebie mini kit I made for Kim's monthly Colour Challenge at DSO. She gives her team a color swatch and we create a mini kit. With all ours together you get a fun full kit filled with many different styles. I just checked and there are tons already posted!! Here's my contribution. Click below to download.
