Grand Opening new Store & Forum OTBDS & 2 new kits

Well, it's been a while since i posted to my blog due to problems with my wrist. While it is still quite sore i have still managed to make some pages with 2 new kits from OTBDS, that i would like to share.

These last weeks, Amanda of  OTBDS has been really busy preparing to open the new all OTBDS store, forum and gallery. And i can assure you: it looks smashing !!!  So be sure to join in the forum, gallery and shop - registration is free !!! You can also register for the OTBDS newsletter HERE, so you won't miss the lastest news and exclusive freebies for subscribers.
At this very moment we are in the middle of the Grand Opening Week and there are lots of cool challenges for you to participate in: Best of Me challenge,  Shaping Up challenge, Thank You Very Much challenge, Just my type challenge & So you think you can Art Journal challenge.
 I'm even hosting a challenge there called Yup, I Made This (where you make your own papers & elements). There are posting bonuses and prizes to be won and you can even win one of Amanda's great workshops !!! So go check out all the fun challenges OVER HERE.

Of course there are also new kits available in the brand new store:
First of there's the Strings Attached Bundle: Ever felt tied down, or tied up? How about the desire to break free and really, I mean really be FREE to show your true colors?  Strings Attached is a homage to Amanda's years as a puppeteer, but also a shout out to all those feeling the need to break loose and find truth in self expression. Check it out HERE.

Here's the preview:

The second new kit is the In Stitches Bundle. This bundle is dedicated to Amanda's sister, whom usually leaves her "in stitches"- or the modern slang would be" rolling on the floor laughing".  This bundle is a lift in your day and sure to make you smile ! It contains 15 papers, 30 accents and 9 Photoshop Brushes (and png files). Go check it out HERE.

For the Yup, i made this challenge all parts made by participants will be collected, joined together and send out to all participants as a kit when the challenge has finished.  This is a preview of the part i made myself - in total 5 papers, 3 WA and 7 additional elements:
