I have been looking at web sites at the kits that cost money (even though I told myself I would save money doing this by making my own kits) and I found quite a few that I like a lot. I found that the person I have the most kits on my want list is Michelle Underwood. I love her stuff, it is just what I have been looking for. I am always hesitant to buy things without people's opinions so I would like to know what others think about her work. I was also wondering if she had some freebies available so that I could check out her work myself before buying.
I am interested in her new CD, I would love it if I could somehow get a bigger preview picture of what is available in that CD to see if I like it enough to buy it. If I don't there are tons of kits I would want to buy anyway. Also, if you know of any designers I just HAVE to look at, let me know. I am new to this thing and although I am still planning on making my own stuff and not spending as much as I did on paper scrapping, I am right now not as good as I know designers are, so maybe I will buy some things (although I hope I don't become too addicted to it) .
This is kind of a long post, sorry. Any info would be much appreciated.

I like Michelle's stuff too - and one thing I can say about her kits is that they are pretty easy to mix and match. Each kit is like a little party, and she has great color sense. Her creations have a nice level of quality to them as well. But....don't rule out other designers - there are tons of awesome artists out there creating beautiful things, too!

I know, I like your stuff too Diane Who else is good, I have a list of people tha tI have looked at, but, like I said, I am new to this whole thing

I will vouch for BOTH Michelle and Dianne's kits! :-D Michelle's kits are so fun and I love her sense of colour. Dianne's kits are wonderful as well - her papers always have such a wonderful texture to them!

Another one of my personal faves is Dawn Stocsill. She does some of the most unique patterned papers around!

Have fun shopping!

Michelle Underwood is a DTM here, so you can go to her personal gallery here and see her CD and kits 'in action.'

At least half of the DTMs here sell and/or create digital scrapping products, and you can see all their galleries here. Better yet, see what products, from DTMs and otherwise, we have featured in our monthly newsletter by going here or checking out the Digital Bytes online store here.

Good luck and have fun!

I got Michelle's "Wrapped in Colour" kit (I think that's the name...) and I absolutely love it! Great quality, great selection of elements. I would definitely recommend her stuff.

I also have Dianne's "Petals and Patches" and love it, too! Wonderful texture in the backgrounds--they really look like cloth. I have a layout I did with it, here:

Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to posting my Michelle layouts yet.

I haven't bought many kits yet, being new, but so far I haven't been disappointed with anything I've purchased. I find that a bunch of Traci Sims' stuff is on my "want-to-buy" list, if you want to check her out.

I keep looking at the gallery and thinking, "Ooh, what kit did they use for that?" and bookmarking everything I find.

Oh wow, there are just too many to choose from. If I buy all the kits I have been loooking at that I like I will spend over $200!!!!! that is definately not saving more money than when I did paper scrapping. AAAAAAHHHHH I need to narrow things down a bit, I really don't want to get addicted to buying things, but I just love seeing those cute papers and embellies on my brand new photoshop album program. Oh no, I can feel myself getting the bug to shop. I must have chocolate, maybe that will help

Michelle's CD Time of your Life is another great choice.

I love Michelle's stuff! I did my whole Las Vegas album using just 2 of her kits!
