this is the longest i have ever sat down at one sitting and worked on a LO. when i first started it, i didnt realize it would be this complex. but this is how it turned out!

i have never used so many kits on one layout before either! so i definately steped outside my box. i hope you all like it.

this is a scraplift of inlovewithdots (but taken a step further) you can see her LO here: http://www.thedigichick.com/gallery/...00/ppuser/4050

I cant wait to get my CT stuff done so that i can PLAY!!!!

Last week i bought these from Michelle Coleman



I haven't had much time to work with them yet, but here is a signature bar that i made for myself using the Gypsy Rose kit:

The kit I used is by Michelle Raine its called Tranquil Summer and its available at SOTB.

and i used the Michelle Coleman brushes on this LO also:

The kit i used is Pass the Pistatios by Candice Wong and its available at 2bscrapped.

Can you help?

Are you a designer? Can you help? My friend, Lauren Reid is orgainizing a Charity kit in honor of her son, Josh.

here is the message on Lauren's blog:

honor of my sweet 4 1/2 yr old son, Josh, I'm organizing a Charity Kit called, Beautiful Heart, to help raise money for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. He was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a digestive disease, on his 3rd bday. Since then I have made it my mission to raise money for the CCFA, a non-profit group, that raises money for research & education programs for children & adults faced with these diseases.

I need YOUR help! I'm hoping to find designers willing to donate a bit of their time to help create pieces for the kit. If you are interested, please let me know! :)

I have set up a yahoo group for the designers working on the kit to gather: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beautifulheart/
