new at zinnia:

I have yet to announce that I am designing kits at Zinnia.


 


Yay I am designing…


Zinnia is located in South Pasadena. I found this store about 2yrs ago, and fell in love immediately! This is not your typical scrapbook store, actual it’s not a scrapbook store. It is a paper crafters dream come true! They carry the most eccentric stuff.  So basically I bugged them enough and talked them into letting me design a monthly kit.


We started off with 4 kits for the fall season.


The Fall kit, The Fall add on kit, The Halloween Kit & The Halloween add on kit.


The kits can be found in store and Zinnia's etsy store online


Here are a few samples I made using all 4 kits:

Happy Fall, Happy Friday
