A Beautiful Charity Collab

I am delighted to be a small part of this enormous kindness that so many have taken up to help a friend and colleague.  A great many fantastic designers got together to create this amazing kit and are donating the proceeds to Sally (many of you no doubt know and love her as KyRainbow throughout digi-land) to help with her medical expenses as she battles cancer.

One look at this absolutely gorgeous kit and you'll know that you need this in your scrapping supplies.

So far I've already made 2 pages using it, and there are so many more beautiful and yummy things I haven't even gotten to play with yet!  It's a huge kit, just look at these papers:

It's available at Gotta Pixel, please pick it up and help out this wonderful and truly deserving lady!

Here are my layouts using it:

(using an included template)

Some beautiful new things to share today!

Good morning, is it Thursday already?!  Gads, that means I'm a day behind.  Yesterday was 'food run' day, which for us is a little bit more involved than the typical jaunt to the grocery store. A long story short, it took up the better part of my day yesterday, so you're getting this post today instead, and I hope you'll forgive my day-late delivery!  :D

On to the goodies!

This week I had the immense pleasure of working with the new kit Audrey from Pixel Perfect Designs.  I am such a huge fan, seriously, her work is always fab!  But have a look at this elegant beauty!

And I LOVE the way my layout came out using it:

Plus, check out this bonus alpha you get FREE (this week only!) when you buy the kit (hassle-free, no coupon code required, it's in the download!)

Is that not the most gorgeous shiny alpha ever?!  I think it's my new favorite!!

This week I also got to work with another gorgeous kit by Polka Dot Pixels, Fern.  This is such a softly beautiful kit, the colors are amazing!

I really love all the little bits and bobs, especially those carved metal buttons! Yum!!

Here's my layout using it:

Make sure you pop on over to PDP and see what else is new this week!  And don't forget this week's {plum crazy} deal:

New stuff, pretty layouts, and a call!

As much as I love summer, especially having all of my kids home with me, it sure is a crazy time of year!  It feels like we're just going and going and I am even more scattered than usual!  I think I'm not doing as badly as I fear, and I am actually getting a lot accomplished, but some of the 'details' are falling by the wayside.  So I am trying to tidy things up, and to that end, I wanted to show you some of the fantastic new products I've had the amazing luck to work with recently!  Before we do that, though, I am really excited about this call:  Nikki Epperson is holding a blog/promo team call.  She is one of my all-time FAVORITE designers (and people!) and I want to really encourage you to give it a shot.  Here are the spec's:

Need more encouragement?  Just look at her releases at The DigiChick this week:

Basically Basic

My layout with it:

And her dazzling collab with the one and only Shawna Clingerman, Independent:

My page using it:

Now, I've also had the pleasure of working with a couple of Polka Dot Plum's fantastic designers! 

Have a look at this beautiful collab by Melissa Daniel Designs and Neverland Scraps called Sharkbait:

And the page I created with it:

And, last but not least, I was able to work with this exquisite beauty by A+ Designs, Whispers:

I used it for this week's RAK Challenge and made Lisa this page with her photo:

Thanks for sticking with me this far!  I will try my best not to get this far behind again!  :D
