Cool News and TONS of Freebies!

So, I have this group of girls (why can I never say "women"? We're all grown-ups, with kids!), I've been scrapping with for about two years now, and they all impress me like crazy. Early this year, I was lucky enough to compete in the Amazing Digital Scrapbooking Race with one of them, my friend Sarah, aka Sarahtawisha. Well, Sarah is continuing to amaze me, because she entered and was one of the WINNERS of Funky Playground Designs recent Designer Contest.

What does that mean? It means she just debuted her line of digital scrapbooking supplies at Funky Playground Designs yesterday! And that means that Designs by Sarah Bennett should be your newest stop on your kit buying sprees! Her store is still small at the moment, but what's there is incredible. She's got a really pretty style, and will be making lots of kits to scrap all those moments you have with your kids (after all, she's got 2 little ones of her own). Her first kit, Boat Ride, is inspired by Nemo, which she's been watching non-stop with her kidlets. It's much softer in tone, and perfect for scrapping baby pictures, sleepy-time, the beach, boating, etc...

Here's the preview (and it's linked!)

and here's what I created with it, a layout of my new DD...
There is also a great alpha in her shop, sooo cute, and in several colors, including black, so that you can easily recolor it to meet your needs (how nice is that?).

Lastly, check out Sarah's blog for a chance to win Boat Ride, or a Gift Card to her shop (good till July 31). You can also check out her CT Call (we need a few more great scrappers to join us!), and sometime today, she's putting up a gorgeous desktop made by our friend Li.

Wow, just look at all that goodness I brought you!

Oh, and don't forget to be watching at DSA, my other favorite designer, Megan Turnidge, has made it to the final round of their So You Think You Can Design contest, and will be posting ANOTHER free kit by Thursday at midnight! You can download all the previous weeks freebie kits still, and if you haven't, you should, they are GREAT! You can find all the SYTYCD freebies HERE.
