Guild designer Debb Cozzi is on vacation in Lake Tahoe and taking full advantage of her photo opportunities! Here is a layout just posted using the June Guild Kit Bohemian Bling and Dee Bee Design's "Bohemian Tears and Borders" (available as a FREE Gift with the June Artisan Notebook. May also be posted separately.)

Sitting back and relaxing with my friends a lot of the conversations start with "Remember that time we..." and that is what this kit is all about to me. Spending time with my friends and journaling about the incredible times we have shared together. This kit is perfect for so many different types of layouts including friendship and heritage layouts with its neutral palette. This kit comes with 6 papers and 13 distinct elements. This new kit is now available in the store!
Here is a layout I have created with the kit to help inspire you!
This month the Creative Color challenge is being hosted by CT Member Twinkerbell:
I'm so excited to start this new challenge! 
This month we will be expanding upon the gorgeous paper pack by
Christine Haskell, Brand New Day Paper Pack. I just love this paper
pack!!!
In this challenge we put our designing "skills" 
to work to expand upon a kit by one of our talented designers. Take
what you've learned from classes or tutorials or just messing around
and create new elements or papers for this gorgeous paper pack to share
with the rest of us. If you prefer not to design, I will be giving away
a freebie which I have already designed and you can just do a LO with
it! Fun! Fun! Fun!
Here are our inspiration colors. 
And here is the freebie! (Visit the Guild to link up the freebie HERE.)
Hi everybody! I (Lisa, aka Inewhouse) am going to be doing the template challenge every other month and ScraplikeCrazy will be doing the other months!!! This means that this challenge will now be held monthly :-)
OK, so with Father's Day just yesterday I did my LO using my template featuring the Men in my Life. I purposely went very simple with the template so there will be a lot of flexibility in your design.
And here is my layout:
If you would like to join in this challenge you can download the template here.
We spotted this layout by Creative Team Member Ina using the re-released Guild Kit Summer by the Sea:
The Guild has re-released two of its kits from last year for individual purchase: Summer by the Sea and Avant Garden. We have spotted a couple of layouts in the gallery using these kits:

The Digital Scrapbook Artisan Guild designs kits exclusively for members of the Guild. We are very excited to announce that in conjunction with the Guild's association with Natural Designs in Scrapbooking selected Guild kits and mini classes that have been previously retired will now be available for individual purchase as "Guild Encore Sets."
Avant Garden was originally issued as the April 2007 Guild kit. The fresh summer color pallet of apple green, red and black combined with the garden-themed elements will be a perfect match for all of your outdoor and summer layouts. The kit includes a paper pack with eight backgrounds, and element set of over 25 embellishments, a Ready Made Page (tm), a layered template and a coordinating alpha.
In addition this set includes a 10-page, self-taught mini class presented in a .pdf format. The mini class explores the idea of creating a mini album based on the design principles shown in the Bayeux Tapestry. If you are looking for fresh inspiration for your mini albums and want a new approach to telling a special story this mini class is sure to provide you with wonderful inspiration!
Here are a few sample layouts. This one by Debb Cozzi:
