digi-picks - Christmas kit wish list (part 2)

Okay, some of these aren't on my wishlist any more (if you get my meaning LOL). There are just so many Christmas goodies out there, it is getting a little overwhelming, but I am managing to stay (fairly) strong.

Dianne Rigdon kinda went in two different directions with these two kits (and both have made it off the wishlist lol - gotta love sales!) Humbug is richly textured, with a traditional feel, and there is a marvellous element pack to go along with it.

and Merry Kitschmas is kinda groovy. I notice that she has now done a second set of kitschy papers too!

You know I am a huge fan of Tracy Ann Robinson's designs, and her Christmas Joy is no longer on my wish list either (sales! love 'em). Beautiful depth and texture to these papers.

I've got lots of Anna Aspnes' early kits, but find her new ones too large to download. She has a really spunky Christmas kit out, but her Festive Doodle Words were too cute to pass up this weekend.

And her Foto Cardz are just to die for! So stylish and sophisticated, now I just need decent photos to go along with them (sigh).

Carrie Stephens has made a guest appearance at Scrapartist for the month of December, and has created a sweet paper pack for the occasion called Very Merry. (not on the wishlist)

And it really pays to sign up for newsletters and announcements at the sites of your favourite designers! Susan Bartolini (aka the Chef, at Scrap Kitchen) offered subscribers super scpecial pricing and an early peak at her Christmas pack, Peaceful Christmas. (oops, not on the wishlist either)

Now, for some things that really are still on my wishlist! Ronna Penner always comes up with gorgeous Christmas kits, and Christmas Magic truly is all that. I would probably find this most useful for classically traditional or even heritage pages, there is also lots of white-space stuff in this kit too, and the usual attention to gorgeously detailed elements to go along with the classy papers.

Finally (for now, at least) is Rebecca DiGrazio's Holly Jolly kit - I just love the slightly shabby feel, the muted traditional colours, and the awesome chipboard alpha.

Oh, and I have to mention the lovely Shabby Princess and her gorgeous free Christmas kit Holiday Magic - I am seeing lots of people posting amazing layouts around the galleries with this.

So having said all that, I probably should go back and edit the title considering how many of these are no longer on my wishlist but are sitting snugly on my hard-drive! I am resolved to be strong-willed and not buy any more kits or paper-packs or doodles until, oh, at least the weekend!
