Hello Scrappers! Before I get to this week’s new release, I need to let you know about some ‘housekeeping’ things.
First, this week’s newsletter is the LAST newsletter I will send from my current newsletter provider! I’m switching to a new provider and I’ve been unable to transfer my subscriber list, so you MUST sign up for the new newsletter to continue receiving my latest news, coupons, and occasional newsletter-only freebies! You can sign up here.
Second, Scrap Orchard will be switching to a new and better webhost this weekend. The site will go down at midnight Friday night and come back up sometime Sunday. Be sure to snag this week’s Fresh Fruit before Friday night if you want to scrap this weekend!
Now for this week’s new kit! Making the Grade is the perfect all-around school kit. From homeschool and preschool to junior high, this kit has everything you need to scrap those first-day or any other school memories! Remember, it’s 20% off for 1 week only!

Here are some layouts by my CT and the Honeybees with Making the Grade:

Have a great week!
