I am fast approaching one year of digital scrapping. I don't think I bought a kit for the first 10 months--there are so many great free downloads I couldn't use the stuff I had. But (you knew there was a but coming, didn't you?) about a couple of months ago I bought a kit. And then another. And another yeah yeah. It is so painless! I have decided to treat myself once a week or so. My favs so far are Tonya Renz and Francine Haman and Mel Violette. Their papers are great but what always attracts me are funky elements. I also like quite a few already mentioned and some that have not been discussed yet. I hate just mentioning a couple--there are just so many fantastic designers.
