Kits & Pieces members have spent the last 8 weeks challenging themselves creatively as a part of our 8-week contest. Each of the participants did a fabulous job, and we are proud to announce our winner: Blairwitch! Blair won a 3-month subscription to Kits & Pieces. Congrats, Blair, and thanks to all who participated!

My scrapping style tends to be detailed and dimensional… it’s just the way I scrap.  Despite my “core” style, I absolutely LOVE the look of clean, graphic pages (though I can’t create one to save my life!).  One day my dear friend, Sue Thomas (who happens to have one of those amazing graphic styles), and I were talking about how different our styles are and how differently we think.  What we discovered, bottom line, was that she thinks in LINES and I think in LAYERS.  Wow!  How cool!  How do you think about a page as you begin the design?  Are you a line thinker? Or a layer thinker? (continued)

We are thrilled to be able to welcome Kira McKee to the Kits & Pieces Team! Kira will be joining us as a DT member and will also be managing the message board. Kira has been a Kits & Pieces member from the beginning and a wonderful, friendly participant on our message board. Welcome, Kira!

Also, we unfortunately have to say goodbye to DT member Stephenie Hamen and (temporarily) to MB manager Jen Davis. Thank you both for your contribution to Kits & Pieces!
