Do you believe that it's almost the end of July?  Heck didn't summer just begin and I'm so not ready for the summer to be over  Stores already have all their school supplies out and the ads are showing dorm life.  Luckily both my kids are adults so I don't have to worry about that sort of thing but check out my cute new School Charms Kit!!  I'm also ready for another vacation.  We spent a week in Myrtle Beach but we were looking for property and stayed with two different friends and the week just flew.  Now I guess I'll wait for late fall when we hopefully will go out to LA to visit DS.  Unfortunately the month of August seems like it has nothing but Dr. appointments.  When you get to my age unfortunately that's what happens and that takes care of the next couple of months.  Now to the part of my life that takes up the most of my time.  Check out my new kits!

Welcome to my new site.  First off I'm no longer at Scrap Outside the Box so you can now see my designs at Natural Designs in Scrap Booking and a brand new store called Purple Paper Flowers.  You can also see my Commercial-Use kits at Commercial Use.com

I have totally purged my store and am in the process of getting brand new kits, redesigned kits, my new Kit Bits and other kits in my store.  There are also a few free Samplers that you'll want to check out while visiting.  I think I finally have about 43 products uploaded.  LOL  That's a lot less then the 200 some I've had up in a store at one time.  After 2+ years it was time to give my kits a good look and decide what needs updating and what needs trashing.  Like anything else kits and kit ideas get old and it's always good to refresh as well as design new stuff so that is what I am in the process of doing.  In saying that here are a few of my newest kits.

I have now reintroduced my Commercial Use Version kits which you'll find in my store.  Just click on the link above to find those kits.  The Commerical Use TOU is right in the kit descriptions so you'll never have to wonder what you can and can't do with my CU kits.

These newest kits are all Templates.  For the Designer I have Designers Packaging Templates.  Package your previews with these fun overlays.  There is also a the Designers Packaging for Scrappers.  Scrappers can have fun with these too just take a good look at the preview and I'm not really a scrapper!  Shadow Box Frames are the templates made smaller with added with for your photos.  Finally there is a free Designers Packaging Template Sampler for you to play with!!

You'll find the free sampler here http://www.ndisb.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=930

Do you enjoy doing heritage LOs?  Well I have two new kits in my store one called Rich Heritage and the other called Singing the Blues.  I just love the Singing the Blues made out of old song sheets.

School is going to be starting soon for lots of kids depending on where you live so I am starting off the school year with the adorable school charms!

These new Denim Frayed Flourishes are just too fun. 

This was suppose to be a little bag of buttons but it just kept growing.

To go along with the Ledgers there here is my Butterfly Ledgers with a bonus of 3 charms.

Here is my new Floral Ledgers.  If you want some great journaling items these are great for journaling, adding dates and special occasions and anything else you can think of.

 

Make sure you stop by my store and pick up this new free sampler!!

This is another retired kit redesigned with all cardboard elements.  I think this is just the greatest kit for scrapping children's photos especially.

One of my most favorite kits is this vintage measuring tapes that are curled and/or folded.  I retired the first Measured Up kit and had been asked more the once to bring it back.  I get bored so I had to make all brand new tapes for this kit.

Here is just a fun set of doodles and doodle stickers.  There are 25 doodles and 25 doodles stickers in this kit.

Here are some fun brush stroked papers for you.  I have a set of 8 already colored and a set of 8 waiting for you to add your own colors or gradients.

Here are my very popular curled, folded and mixed sheer ribbons.  You can add patterns, hues, gradients, etc to these ribbon templates.

                                 

Something fun and new my Funky Switch Plate Frames.   I don't know about you but I have papered, painted and done other stuff to switch plates to match my walls in my house or add to my altered art.   Here are some digital switch plates to use as frames on your scrapbook pages!

 

Here is a pack of some new Digital Alcohol Inked Papers.  I love the rich colors for heritage pages.  I have made my own brush to mimic real digital alcohol inks when mixed on paper.

Here's another fun kit for those 4th of July LOs and cards.  Want some sparkle on your page?  These doodlle are all in black and white so that you can add your own color or style.  These happen to be really fun with certain styles!

Stay tuned for more new things coming out soon and check back often for some freebie thrown in here and there!!
