Lots to share!!

As promised, here are the 2 kit releases for mid-month. Both will go up for sale tonight at 9:00 central time.

County Fair Memory Cards -

We have the most FABULOUS county fair in our county - the kind you might see in a movie, truly! We look forward to it every year. I found these wonderful popcorn bags a while ago and was waiting for the perfect project for them. I also had the cork backed Black Cherry Soda caps and some Mug Root Beer and Lipton Iced Tea pogs. Tis the season for County and State Fairs so I thought many of you might appreciate this! There are 3 cards, backs and fronts are decorated. Full instructions will be available in the gallery by Friday the 22nd. Check the site out tonight to see all of the photos.

Hodge Podge Garland- our first MEMBER'S ONLY Kit -

You may recognize this from the summer. This garland was part of a class I taught in Maryland and in Arizona when I traveled this summer. I had a few left to be put together and thought I would offer it on-line now. Lot's of old stuff here including a great old skeleton key, milk cap, old flash card, etc.

This kit will only be offered to kit club Member's for now. When this product is added to your cart, the cart will recognize whether you are a member or not.

If there are still kits left after 4 days, they will go up for sale to the general public as well.

This is a new program that will be available at least once a quarter for our member's.

And, if you missed the ice cream box Project Kit this month - hang tight! I will likely have a decent quantity more of these available on the 1st (I will keep you posted) as well as a new Green and Brown Version!

Now onto the Guest Designer Contest - here are the details:

- In order to submit you must complete at least one layout using the August Papercrafting Kit. You will also need to submit a second layout using the August Papercrafting Kit OR a home decor/altered art project. The sky's the limit on the 2nd project, just no cards please. You may use ink, paint, stencils, stamps, punches or any other tools to complete the project. You may also use a vintage item here and there but 90% of the layouts/projects must be from the Kit.
