Summer Scraps Picks

True to my promise, I’ve been both busy doing up layouts for my own Summer Scraps album, and this morning I am going to select my own picks of the best Summer themed digital stash out there currently. One of these - for me - was mentioned in an earlier post. I noticed that Lisa Whitney has a version two out of her A Beautiful Mess kit - which I would like because it contains the blues and greens selected within my own summer album colour palette. The wonderful Melissa gifted me with a voucher to Scrapartist, and I do intend picking this one up - but am currently thrawted by the Scrapartist server upgrade over this weekend.

As I have a very limited (if null) budget, I can at best salivate over the latest offerings by some talented digital designers out there. Check out Melissa G’s Digi Pick of the Day website also, I’m sure she’s taking a look at all the summer themed digital kits herself. But for me, the following are worthy of contention -  

Dawn Inskip’s Summer Expressions, available from today at NDISB.  

Janosch Design’s Can’s World kit, available from The Digichick  (sorry, I can’t show you this image - The Digichick provides all it’s images as php files, meaning you can’t host these on your own site also as an image. I know that it’s helpful in stopping hotlinking - however, not when I want to show you something, lol).

The Lilypad has a new collobaration kit (Michelle Godin, Kate Hadfield, Rachel Young and Sausan Designs) up called Funky Junky. It’s also available as a couple of quick album packs.  Also check out the glossy Summer buttons there, by Jenna Desai. And the felt flipflops called Favourite Flipflops by Natalie Braxton. Finally from the Lilypad, Kate Hadfield and Jacque Larsen’s drawn Pack-A-Picnic elements are perfect.

At Live Out Loud Scraps you can find Victoria Feemster and Creative Confusion’s colloboration in the Karma Chameleon kit.

Lindsay Jane’s Seascape kit at Scrapbook Bytes is the first I noticed away from the generally bright colour schemes I am looking for myself.  

Scrap Outside the Box has a June mega kit colloboration called Botanically Yours.  

For something completely different, Designs by Moo currently have a special on their PSP scripts (I am a user of Paintshop Pro myself) and there are scripts to create a cute graphical little ladybug and a dragonfly available.  

The Social Butterfly element packs at KB & Friends are fun.  

As I’ve only had an hour spare to look around some of the shops online, I’m sure there are many other summer inspired digital kits out there which I may include at a later date. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with  a last  kit, called Love of Summer by Jackie Eckles, available at Little Dreamer Designs.
