My blog is finally up and running and I'd like to celebrate with a giveaway!
(There's no catch, I promise!)

Today's giveaway is a limited edition collectible by Westland Giftware. It's a beautifully hand-crafted and hand-painted African Plains Elephant figurine from Tusk. It's great for urban home decor and collectors! Tusk recently decided to come out with a new line of quality designs, called "New Tusk". And so, you will find that this product is no longer in stock. I absolutely love their line of parade collectibles and the details on this piece are amazing. I am so excited for one of you guys to win it.

Onto our freebie! "Classy Thanksgiving" is a fun kit designed to scrap Thanksgiving, family gatherings and making dinner, but at least half of the pieces can be used for just about anything. As I mentioned earlier this week, this kit is a misnomer. I'm dedicating it to my family. We strive to create the perfect family gathering every Thanksgiving but never quite get it right. I love them. :) So, I apologize if this kit isn't coherent with my other work, but that's just how my family is! Classy and, well, awkwardly funny. :) Another reason that this kit is different from my other collections is because I didn't add an overlay to most of the pages; mainly, so you can select the material and mix it up however you like. If you Google-Image "overlay freebie", you should have plenty to choose from. :) I hope you enjoy it! Just click on the preview to download:

Thank you for stopping by. :)

Day 2 - Countdown to Thanksgiving

I have plans to save up for a new camera so that I can share more than scrapbooking materials with you. Who knows, I might be inspired to pull some colors, patterns or items in some of the pictures and make a kit to share! ;) I'll talk more about this and a fun project I have in mind later.

As promised, here is today's freebie! It's a compilation of random but related things I chose to scrap as a super-mini kit for the month of November. Click the preview to download.

I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving break! Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for another freebie! :)

Day 3 - Countdown to Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is so close, I can smell the turkey. And since I can't taste it or even look at it yet, I figured that I can at least talk about it. Hence, I put together a handful of Thanksgiving word arts to share. I hope you will find them useful in your scrapbooking endeavors. I want to give a special shout-out to Kevin and Amanda Fonts for making their absolutely adorable font collection freely available to the public. I also want to give a special shout-out to Scrapbook.com for offering an organized list of quotes for us to incorporate in our layout designs. Simply click on the preview to download:

Welcome to My Blog!

Hi there digiscrappers! I'm Kiran, aka Kinna, and among many things, I love scrapbooking. Some of my favorite artists include Scraps by Andrea, Trixie Scraps, Growing Pains Scrapped, Connie Prince, Shabby Princess and Aimme Harrison. I've recently taken interest in digiscrap designing and am considering making a kit myself during my (much-needed) study breaks.

Here's a quickpage I worked on earlier today. Just click on my page preview to head on over to Mommy Me Time Scrapper's blog post and pick up the QP.

Kit: It's My Birthday

Alpha: Happy Monsters (modified)

I'm a flyers, posters and Facebook events kind of girl. Since I have little experience with creating digital scrapbooking paper, embellishments, etc. on my own, I'll be showcasing my progress as a digiscrap designer on this blog to receive feedback and improve. Essentially, I want to get a hang of the tools that will be necessary to build a kit of my own someday (soon, hopefully!). I'm starting small. Bare with me. :)
