Just "Plane" Cute - S4H/S4O Kit Freebie!!!

Well, I made it through to the final round of The Next Best Thing designer contest which means I have another free kit for you!

For this week's challenge, we were allowed to use any colours and theme with the twist being that we had to also create at least one CU item to give away as a freebie. For my CU freebie, check out the next post.

This week, one of my sisters informed me that her friend was due to have her baby in the next week or so. I had promised to make the birth announcements a while ago and was shocked at how quickly the time had passed (and that I hadn't even thought about the kit I would use). So, this final challenge was the perfect opportunity to get stuck into this kit! The daddy-to-be is an aircraft mechanic so the cute little planes will be perfect for the birth announcement. They would also be great for scrapping babies and kids layouts as well as little boy invitations and cards. I think it's pretty cute but it seems to be lacking something to make it "great". Anyway, it's a freebie so help yourself and enjoy!

In addition to creating the kit, we also had to create at least one CU item and use it in the kit. For a preview of the Freebie CU Items (and the link of where to download them), check out my next post :)

I hope you enjoy using this kit as much as I enjoyed creating it. Feel free to leave a comment on the kit (in the gallery at Digital Scrap Ink) and I'll let you know on July 4th how I went in the contest! Unfortunately, I don't think this week's kit is bright and noticeable enough to ultimately "win" the contest, but we'll have to wait and see :) Thanks to everyone who has commented on the previous kits and encouraged me along the way!

Enjoy!

Blog Train - All About Me

Well, it's a new month and time for the next "Half-Baked Girls" blog train! The theme for this blog train is "All About Me" where you'll find all sorts of useful bits and pieces for scrapping about yourself. Because there are sooo many subcategories for this theme, we have decided to continue this theme over the next few months and keep the same colour scheme (with maybe adding a colour each month). I was unable to get my contribution finished in time (sorry about that) so have decided to put it in the next month's blog train. Just so you know what you are missing, and so you will come back next month :), the mini theme that I am working on is "15 minutes of fame" and I am rather happy with how it is turning out so far. I just ran out of time to complete it with the TNBT designer challenge and CT duties (oh, and real life) taking up all my time. BTW, I got through to the final round of TNBT Designer Challenge so keep an eye out in the next few days for my latest submission.

Anyway, if you came here from one of the other blogs on the train, sorry about that but I don't have a contribution this month. Here are the blogs that are taking part this month:
