Defying Gravity by Angelclaud ArtRoom 

Angela has created a really unique templates which include scattered stars on the paper stacked. I don't think I've seen templates like those before. Cool! And, just look at those background papers I used for the 2 LO. I'm into newspaper and words patterned papers lately and Lily's kit kinda quench my thirst of them both. Bottom line, I'm a great fan of Lily's creation... Whenever there's Lily's kits in the Fresh Baked thread, I always grab them without thinking too long!

With Zig Zag Scraps closed, many of the designers move to other stores including Ginger Scraps. Moni from 2 AM Designs, the ex CT Lead at ZZS, in one of 3 designers that moved to GS. The day they opened their stores, the gallery was flooded by layouts from their CTs. I've never seen so many layouts uploaded in the gallery before! Wow....
