As anyone who reads my blog may remember, I was accepted to be on SKrapper Digitals creative team a while back. We’ve become great friends and chat all the time. Part of my responsibility is to announce her new kits which I have been a tad remiss on doing. Until today. I have had the great honor of having an entire kit created just for me and includes all the things I love! I honestly think that this is her absolute best kit to date and I’m not just saying that because it’s named after me. Just as an example, here are some layouts I did with it:
