Haynay Designs has a cute boy themed kit "A Stone's Throw" which has lots of nature and rugged elements.

You can use this kit for all sorts of pages-I scrapped our new house (picture was snapped during our house hunting trip back in December)

Happy Scrap Girl's new kit is called "The Key to Happiness" and it is a gorgeous one! She's even giving one lucky person the chance to win it-so be sure to stop by ScrapMatters HERE and enter!

Here's the bugger back when he was just an itty bitty baby-seems like so long ago and yet just yesterday!

Finally, Charlie's Digiscraps is celebrating ONE year of Designing-and she's released this totally fabulous kit called "Celebrate." It's 30% OFF during the entire month of June over at Enchanted Studio Scraps.

I scrapped Gigi for this page-on her first birthday. This pic was taken right before she devoured her cake-boy was that a long bath!

Whew...if you made it through all of those awesome new releases....Congratulations! Now don't forget to stop by the Cybercrop over at Digiridoo-it will definitely be hoppin' all weekend long!
