Mars - can we use more than 1 kit?

[MarsOlson]

Carolat yes! Use whatever you want and as much as you want. Double or triple duty.. anything goes. :D We "prefer" you use DSP products but it's not an eligibility requirement.

I made this LO for one of my mothers wedding photos. :love2:
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=188841&cat=500&ppuser=69422

I used my SNL #26 kit Gift Wrapped and it turned out so nice
I decided to make it a plopper for all SNL members. :hug:
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=188840&cat=500&ppuser=69422

So if you like it and are a contributing SNL member you can
download it and have some fun with it.
If you don't like the color you can make your own with my
main kit for SNL #26 Gift Wrapped witch comes in 5 different
colors. :yes:
