The second release this week is the February mini kit for Every Day Matters.  As always, Ruby Lane has put together a fantastic mini kit for February to complement her Every Day Matters line of basics, targeted towards your Project 52/365 layouts:


Don't you just love the color palette and all those cute hearts all over the place?  February is not only about Valentine's Day, so there are some gorgeous papers and elements that can be used at any time during the month:  I love the paper with the little cherries and the one with the geometrical pattern.  The frames and ribbons also work well with any theme, as do the flowers, and you know that you can always add a little love to any layout!  So have fun playing with it!  Here are some layouts created by Ruby Lane's layout artists:

As part of the Funky Playground Design's January Playgroup, Ruby Lane has just released her new kit Vintage Romance:


I truly love this kit!  Not only is it the perfect kit for scrapping your love interest, but it has a lot of black papers and elements mixed with all the pinks and greens...and I love love love black!  Let's take a closer look at this beauty!  First the papers:  I love that Ruby Lane has complemented the beautiful pink and cream papers with some black and white/cream papers that will add such beautiful contrast and depth to the layouts Did you see the one with cream background and soft pink flowers - swoon! And what about the one with soft pink background with the diamond white pattern?  And the black paper with cream flowers?  You can really let your creativity fly with all these choices!  Now the elements:  the flowers just seem to jump out of the page, they look so realistic that you feel you are working with a traditional paper scrapbooking kit and not with a digital kit; and I love that some of them have bling in the center, because a girl can never have too much bling - even in a digital kit.  I love the variety of pink and black ribbons and bows - I just love to embellish my layouts with these elements, and Ruby Lane always gives us plenty of them to play with!  Beautiful greenery, hearts galore and the beautiful birdcage add the perfect finishing touch to the layouts, and the frames will showcase your pictures beautifully.  This is one gorgeous kit that will also be just perfect for those Valentine's Day layouts thanks to the cute word art included.

This kit is available exclusively at Funky Playground Designs, and right now you can get it all for just $4.39 at a savings of 20% off the regular price!  So run now and get it here.  Below are some beautiful layouts created by Ruby Lane's layout artists to give you a little added inspiration:
