saying "thank you" (freebie alert!)

*****DESIGNS BY SARAH BENNETT BLOG TRAIN BELOW*****

i'm back to show you all the great kits that are being released today & those that i've been working with this past week. if you hadn't heard yet, Scrap Orchard's been down this entire week! sunday night, they started making the transition to a new server & the soon-to-be-ex server shut down before the transition was complete. this has not only affected SO, but also several other digi-scrap sites. unfortunately, there hasn't been much communication with that server so they've had to start rebuilding their site. good news, is that SO should be up tomorrow! everyone's waiting as patiently as possible to reveal all the latest kits (& i can't wait to show you either!). so hold tight for just a little while longer & thanks for being as patient as possible with this whole ordeal!

with that being said, here's the new releases!

first up, Sarah Bennett has released a super cute, boy-themed kit. it really can work for anything though since the colors are so great!

gallery standout!

i have a secret...i've never had a page of mine in an gallery standout-whether it be a blog, or a thread on the digiscrap forums, my pages have never been chosen & placed on those blogs/threads. it kind of gets me down but that's only because i have a major self-esteem complex. i feel like i need to be "accepted" for some strange reason. that all changed! 'my lovebird' was in the gallery standouts blog! i'm so darn excited! here's the page...
