Fur Babies just in time for DSD!

I have two brand new kits to show you today!! But first I want to tell you that we are kicking off  DSD with our Happy Hour new releases this week at After Five Designs!! Take 40% off my entire store (excludes shots) through November 6!! Check out the sale HERE in my shop.

As a bonus, when you spend $10 at After Five Designs, you will get our brand new designer collaboration kit, Thankful For you for free!

I have always been an animal lover. I’ve wanted to create a pet themed kit for a while, and I decided that DSD was the perfect time to tackle the project. But the theme is so big, that I’ve decided to split it up! So I have two kits for you this week, Fur Babies - Kitty Cats and Fur Babies - Puppy Dogs! They are both huge kits packed full of lots of goodies! As a bonus I have thrown in the Fur Babies Solid Paper Pack as a free add-on to both kits! Hope you like them!! Now is a great time to pick them up, as they are both 40% off through Sunday!

I do have a little freebie add-on for you today as well. It’s waiting for you HERE in my shop with a direct download right on the product page so that you don’t have to check out to pick it up. I hope that you enjoy it!! Have a wonderful iDSD!
