If you are looking for a kit to use for elegant and soft designs, Chili Designz' "Empire of Elizabeth" is just what you need.  This kit was made to match the GraphFreaks tube Elizabeth, which was created in honor of artist Elizabeth Austin for the Angels and Artists Against Lyme collab.  Both kit and tube are available at S&CO.

Below are some tag examples showing the use of the kit.






 
June 1st was the birthday of S&CO co-owner Bibi (aka Bibi's Collection) and a surprise mega-collab was put together in her honor.  For a limited time, it is FREE with $5 purchase.  This is a phenomenal deal because it includes several tubes, a large variety of scrap kits, an even bigger variety of clusters and several great CU items.  AND it also includes my very first CU creations, a set of frames and an alpha, as well as two cluster sets I have made from kits by Chili Designz and Whisper in the Wind.  You can get the collab here!
 
Previews of my items are below.
