 I don't have a fav digi kit since I haven't done much digi yet.  I just wanted to say those lo's are fab!!!!

 I haven't digiscrapped that much in the last 6 months, but I keep using Contemporary Christmas by Kim Hill, aka CG Designs... it's fabulous! Here are some layouts I have used it on:

FurBabies - Here Doggie Doggie kit by Designs by Shelle.



I LOVE it! Here are pages I've done of my sweet doggie using this wonderful kit.

 I do not know how to do digital, but would like to ask a question. Looking at some of the LO's, I see that more than one kit can be used. So, when these kits are downloaded, then you can pull up separate parts, items, (i don't know the term to use) of whatever kits you want? I love the LO's btw, just clueless on how it works. I only just downloaded a trial of photoshop, but am having a hard time figuring it out. I need something for beginners, I guess, or for "dummies"

 I have not tried digi scrapping yet.  That is in my future.  Commin soon, I hope.

 Debbie, the answer is yes.

Each item that you see in a kit is a different file so it's as if you were buying that element individually if your were a paper scrapper. I'm getting the papers separately, the flowers, the letters, the frames, the little glitter pieces, every thing separately. They come in a large folder titled by the kit name.

When I'm making a page I can open up that folder, pick out what I want to use from any of the many folders that I have and use whatever I want to use. I can get a frame from this folder, a piece of paper from that one, some flowers from another one and so on until I've finished my page.

Of course, just like paper kits, digital kits are designed to all go together so sometimes it's easier to use within one kit because they all match perfectly but there's always that one frame or one designer that you like more than all of the rest.

And, unlike paper products that can only be used once, you can use digi products over and over again.

To add to this... you can also resize and recolor any of the elements you use. So for instance if there is a flower or brad in a kit that is of a completely different color scheme than your layout, you can change its color to match. You can take an element and resize it, use it over an over in different sizes, flip it, and even erase parts of it. Adding drop shadows gives it dimension. You can "cut" your papers into shapes and layer them, adding drop shadows so they actually look like they are lying on top of each other with pop dots. Once you learn to use your program of choice there is so much you can do.

 I'm fairly new to digi but am enjoying what I've learned so far. Its nice to hear what kits others like.
