New/Old Releases!

While Ginger and the other designers get all of their new releases organized for next week, I thought I’d stop by and show off some of the kits that were released just before we went down for maintenance.

Let’s start with this lovely peice by Miss Erin Scraps called “When September Ends”

“Filled to the brim with softness and subtlety, here is a kit for all occasions. It comes with 64 whimsical elements and 12 papers, 2 of which will make great “scene pages” because they are laid out to look like rooms with checkered floors.”

I looked through the gallery and found this lovely page made using Erin’s kit:

Next, we have a fun little kit by Statements by Jodi called “It’s Potty Time”. I don’t think I’ve seen a kit all about potty training until now, and it’s the perfect kit to scrap those could be embarrasing pre-wedding photo’s of your little ones or even to make some lovely hybrid potty charts!

“This kit includes 18 papers, 70 elements, 73 stickers, A FULL alpha, and a printable 8×11 sticker chart that you can print out and use during your child’s potty training! 4 different candy rewards, 2 rolls of toilet paper, a 5×7 sticker chart for your LO’s, 2 potty chairs, 1 staple, 4 boys and 4 girls (blond, brunette, red head and black hair), 4 frames, 2 journal blocks, 2 step stools, 1 toilet, 1 sink, 5 flowers, 10 buttons, 6 pair of girl underwear and 5 pair of boy underwear, and 5 book plates.”

Those are some great kits! Click the kit images to be taken to the shop and head over to the gallery to leave love by clicking on the layouts.

Now, guess what! I have a couple more CT introductions for you. So far we’ve met Laura, Julie, Rachel, March, Becka, Barbara, Stephanie, Jodi and myself. Today meet:
