My Favourite Designers – Flergs

This week’s Fave Designer spotlight is on… Flergs!

I think my first download of Flergs’ designs was a Sunshine Girl collab, she’s part of a group of ladies who periodically give out a series of matching mini kits and they are beautiful kits! And it’s a great way to test out a designer’s quality of designs and to see if their style matches yours.

Since then I’ve purchased several kits, and I use them all the time! Especially for my recipe cards, there are two kits that I use together for some beautiful rich looking recipe cards. The kits are called Chocolate Berry and Strawberry Delight, though I don’t think they are available anymore. Be sure to check out her blog – Flergalicious – for occasional freebies, fan blinkies, new releases and sale info and more. And you can find her kits at Scrapbook Graphics!

Now here are a couple of my other fave kits that are still available, and some layouts/recipe cards I’ve created using Flergs’ gorgeous designs!

You will also find Flergs’ butterflies scattered throughout my layouts in my gallery at DST

My Favourite Designers – Shabby Princess

This week’s fave designer spotlight is on Shabby Princess. I’m sure you’ll all agree that she is the queen of digital scrapbooking designs. If you’ve been digi-scrapping for any length of time, you probably have at least a couple of her freebie kits… and they might have even been you’re first kit downloads. They certainly were my firsts, and it showed me that even digital scrapbooking could look amazing if you use the right "stuff".

Now can find her scrapbooking designs in the paper scrapping industry too, I personally have some of her papers by Bo Bunny and they are just as beautiful as her digi designs! To do some Shabby Princess kit shopping – check out her store, to download a monthly (free) desktop background or to keep up with her newest releases you can check out the Shabby Princess blog, and don’t forget to check out her awesome CT while you’re there!

Here are some of my fave kits that she’s made, and a couple of layouts that I made using them
