My Dad's the Man and a Freebie!

Happy Friday! I want to thank everyone who made my opening at Scrap Orchard such a success! I really appreciate everyone's encouragement and awesome comments!

I have a great new kit out today, perfect for Father's Day or to scrap any of those special guys in your life. My Dad's the Man is full of rustic, comfy papers and elements. My newsletter subscribers received an exclusive coupon to pick up My Dad's the Man at a discounted price, so if you're not signed up, be sure to do so today to receive future exclusive offers on my designs!



I'm also offering My Dad's the Man Alpha separately. It's a totally versatile alpha with a newspaper base and a wire outline on top. It includes a - z in upper and lower case, numbers, and common punctuation, in both shadowed and unshadowed versions.


All my new releases at Scrap Orchard will be 20% off Friday and Saturday only, so be sure to pick them up before they go back to regular price on Sunday! Discounts will show at checkout.

Here's some inspiration from my CT. They totally rocked this kit!



I'd also love to see any layouts you create with my goodies! Please feel free to upload them to my designer gallery at Scrap Orchard so I can admire them!
