Hello Scrappers! I have a fun new summer kit for you this week!



Summer Sorbet is 20% off this week only, so don’t miss out!
 |
The Summer Sorbet Frame Clusters are FREE when you purchase Summer Sorbet by this Sunday, June 13! These frame clusters are a fantastic way to get your layouts done quickly, but they give you more control than quickpages, allowing you to pick your own papers and add extras if you want to. Frame Clusters will automatically be added to your cart if you purchase Summer Sorbet by June 13. |
Last but not least, here’s a little inspiration from my CT:

If you can, try to stop by DST tonight at 8:30 CST! I’ll be having my Featured Designer Chat tonight. We’re going to have lots of fun and there may even be some giveaways involved!
Have a great week!
