The scrapkit is based off a tube by Lorenzo Sperlonga. You can purchase both at CDO.
Really love how the scrapkit works so well with the tube.

I designed my 3rd scrap. Thought I would share it with all of you.
Hope you all can use it!

Thanks for trying my tutorial.

For a challenge in the Dreamscape Imaging yahoo group, we had to use 1 scrap & create two tags.
I really liked how my tags came out so thought I would share them.I used the scrap Serenade In Blue by
A Space Between. You can find the FTU scrap here.

For tag 1 I used the artwork of Janna Prosvirina. You can purchase the same tube at DSI.


For tag 2 i used the artwork of Zindy S.D. Nielsen. You can purchase the tube at her
store.
