I was sad when NitWit Collections website was down for over a week. I had wanted to buy one of the kits on the site. I ended up spending my money else where (I have a shopping problem which is why I keep my spending money seperate from the household money). But I was happy when the site was back up and I saw this new kit (even though I have no money to buy it:( ).

What’s All the Buzz Collection by NitWit Collections is so perfect for my son and now he is discovering the wonder of bugs (to my dismay). As always with Mary Fran’s designs, it is absolutely adorable! Also, as always, there are some addons… Alphawit Buzz Words, What’s All the Buzz Solids, What’s All the Buzz Too, and Lil Bits What’s All the Buzz.

Now the rest of the finds I have to share are all elements. I not usually one to buy elements on there own, except alphas, since I am big to sticking to one kit in a layout. But once in awhile I layouts that do not focus on one kit and that is when I would like to use elements like these…

A Pocket Full Of…, by Leora Sanford, caught my eye. I have frequently used transparent pockets on my paper layouts and I would love to have them on my digital layouts too. I love the differen edging and the fact there is the one pocket versions and the 3 pocket versions.

Another find by Leora Sanford is IDed and Labeled. I love the idea of journaling, titling or just labeling your layouts with ID cards or office labels. I also like the ID holders. I have a few of those around my house and had thought about using them in paper layouts but never could figure out a good way to attach them. With digital you don’t have to worry about whether the glue will hold or if it will unclip from the ribbon, paper or other element you attach it to.

In Grandma’s Garden, by Jacque Larsen, is absolutely adorable! I have always loved felt elements and these are perfect for layouts of my son.

Now for a few alphas…

Vintage Medicine, by Micheline Martin, is perfect for those vintage pages or for those grungy ones.

Ransom, by Micheline Martin, is great for layouts of your children or for sending ransom letters.

Alpha Labels Sticker & Brush Set, by Sweet Genevieve Designs, is great for titles and labels for locations, dates, saying, etc.

I have some great kit finds today. The Gotta Pixel – Gotta Grab It series of kits are fantastic! Although they are no longer available as Gotta Grab It, they are still available in the store. Check out these fantastic colors!

Painted Alpha by She’s Full Of Scrap!, Glitter Swirls Elements Pack by Sarah Meyer, Jill’s Bag #1 by Jill D-Zines, Fibers, Frames & More! by Sarah Meyer, Borderline – Floralie by Cherie Shields, i : love to : Swirl – Paper by Cherie Shields, and Neon Retro – Paper by Cherie Shields. There are many more that go with these kits but these are just the ones that caught my eye.

Border seem to be a popular element, especially clustered, or layered borders. Here are a few I really like…

It’s All Jeans: Layered Corners by Kim De Smet look like jean pockets, crammed full of scrapbooking goodies I can see them being used for teen girl pages.

I also found several borders by Misty Cato. I really like the Fabric Curls – Neutral and they are also available in Rainbow. They are great for adding grunge and texture to layouts. The Neutral colors would be great for all my boy pages!

What I like most about Crunch Time Templates 3, by Micheline Martin, is that you can make them any color and that they have layers so you can customize them. It is in both PSP and PSD format so more people will be able to use these great crumpled edges!
