Its the 5th AND its Friday - Lots of DT Gallery Reveals and New Challenges

Man, its like all the cosmos have aligned on this very day, Friday, the 5th, or something because there are lots of releases today to share. So please get comfy in your seats. I've got lots to share with you today.

******************************************************************************

First up is Paper Popsicles. Today, September 5th, is the big reveal for our design team projects using the second set of September kits from Paper Popsicles.

Now, you're probably thinking....Already?? Didn't she just debut her projects recently??

Paper Popsicles is releasing these second set of kits in order to synch up the kit month with the actual calendar month the kits will be available for purchase and ship (i.e. September kits will now be ready to order and ship on Sept 1st, etc.). There is no subscription required. Kits will ship in a few business days after payment. We're all very excited with these awesome changes. Melissa really listens to her customers...so be sure to stop by the message board and join in the fun!

So, with no further ado, this is the kit I got to work with this month "The Year 1974":

12 double sided sheets of 12x12 patterned papers from Paper Trunk

4 12x12 sheets of cardstock by Core'dinations

This month, we were sent the Archaic line by Basic Grey and the Papa line from Fancy Pants to work with. So here's what I came up with in keeping with our Fall and Fella's theme for the month.

Guest Designer Kim Frantz - be sure to see the wonderful work Kim has done for us this month. She won our first Friday Free For All Challenge. Her gallery is a must see - that is one talented woman.
