I made 1 layout for the NSD challenges so far - we’ll see if I can get to any more! This was for the Studio Calico triangle challenge. I used the gorgeous ILS Let It Go papers and a new Hello Forever die cut!

In other news Ormolu posted their new short term creative team on the blog yesterday - may be a name you recognize ;)

Pink Trike Design

Robyn over at Pink Trike has so many things going on right now! She is the featured designer and has a FREE kit up at My Scrapbook Art.

Here’s what I made with that kit:

She also had a new kit go up at Design House Digital. You can create a layout with this kit and submit it to Robyn for a chance at a guest designer spot on her Creative Team! Here’s what I made with this kit

Her stuff is great for digital OR paper/hybrid. She’s been including a lot of really great journaling cards (perfect for Project Life) in a lot of her elements. I just need to get a better printer to print them all out!
