Heirloom Recipe Scrapkit

I have a new scrap kit ready, and waiting for all you lovely folks to download and work with. It is a full size kit, and this is another recipe based kit, so it includes some more recipe cards for you, size 3x5. I hope you enjoy it. It has taken me a few weeks to put this one together. All the elements are hand drawn using PSP by me & I learned alot while making this kit. The theme heirloom is using a concept of pioneer or colonial times.
The new layout on my blog site here is made using some of the items in this kit too.
Ok, so what is included in the kit, you ask? In this kit you will have:
  • 20 papers
  • 2 Quick Pages
  • 37 Elements
  • 4 Flowers
  • 6 Frames
  • 18 Recipe Cards
  • 10 Ribbons
The kit is available in PNG or PSP format, and links for them are below.
Here is a preview of the kit, not all items are shown.

Now to download this Kit, click on one of the links below. There is one for RapidShare and one for 4-shared. When possible, would appreciate if you could use the RapidShare link.
