Scrappers can have it all with this kit that can go from tailored to hip to sweet and back again,
depending on the choice of elements. The palette is gorgeous and the colors are soft, yet still
colorful. This kit can be used to scrap both boys' and girls' pages because of the many elements
that come in two colorways.

My Intro

2009-02-23T20:48:00.000-08:00

I'm Nicole, wife to Kevin & Mom to Isaac & Emma

from IL. I've been using Paint Shop Pro for about
5 years. I started with PSP 8 making tags in Yahoo groups.
Then I eventually moved on to PSP 9,10,& 11 making signatures
tags on random mommy forums. Then the scrap bug bit me &
I bought PSP Photo X2 & started making digital scrap
layouts. I love expressing my creativity on the computer
& it's a really awesome way to use your photos too.

Here are some of my recent layouts
