After almost a year I've finally made a kit. Taggers are gonna love this one. It's choke full of awesome elements over 80 of them. Snowflakes, splatters, trails, ribbons, bows, trees the list goes on, lol, I couldn't fit everything into the preview. 24 amazing papers (no overlays used for these babies), 5 glitter sheets (not your regular glitter sheets either) and as a bonus (early Christams present I guess)I've included the 5 styles (PS only) that I creted used to create some of the elements with.
I know you'll love this kit.
