WHAT'S NEWhttp://mkostoff.squarespace.com/whats-new/Digital Artistryen-US2009-12-04T16:08:06ZSquarespace Site Server v5.8.4 (http://www.squarespace.com/)A Black Tie Affairhttp://mkostoff.squarespace.com/whats-new/2009/3/4/a-black-tie-affair.htmlMaria Copetas2009-03-04T17:05:52ZBlack tie - a dress code for semi-formal evening events, and worn to many types of social functions. For a man, the major component is a coat, known as a dinner jacket (British) or tuxedo (Canada and the U.S.), which is usually black but is also seen in midnight blue, and includes a homburg hat, a butonniere and handkerchief. A woman's corresponding evening dress ranges from a conservative cocktail dress to the long evening gown, determined by current fashion, local custom, and the occasion's time, accompanied by pearls, or gold jewelry.

I have included such wonderful items in this kit to commemorate the wonderful events associated with dances, Valentine's Day dinners, retirement dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, or any other event worthy of elegance and distinguished formality.

A beautiful kit in jewel tones, for babys for adults, for anyone with those fun, romantic, sleepy, twilight photos to scrap.  And you know it..... a CD album is coming out of this one, because it is perfect for a brag book for any parent or grandparent.  I think I might make two - one for little ones, and one for... well not so little ones. 

My store is 40% off until the end of January, so hurry on over now!

TA DA - the CD album.  Now I know it's not a new idea, but it was for me, and I had a lot of fun creating them for you.  Here they are: Round and Square.

]]>PEACHES AND CREAM PAGE KIThttp://mkostoff.squarespace.com/whats-new/2008/12/7/peaches-and-cream-page-kit.htmlMaria Copetas2008-12-07T20:21:17ZHere's my latest Page Kit, PEACHES AND CREAM a fabulously delicious and indescribably delectable fantasy of sweet peaches and rich cream for this wonderful kit. I was thinking of peach cobbler and a glass of milk or even vanilla ice cream when I created this kit full of hand-drawn and hand colored elements reminiscent of summer fruit, Thanksgiving desert, or pretty much any other time of year. The color palette of this kit is one of my all time favorites, warm, calming, and full of elegance, but kind of urban and retro at the same time.


]]>BE WHO YOU ARE PAGE KIThttp://mkostoff.squarespace.com/whats-new/2008/11/2/be-who-you-are-page-kit.htmlMaria Copetas2008-11-02T12:41:52ZHere is a fantastic new kit by GurlontheSun Designs, available at NDISB, to celebrate diversity. BE WHO YOU ARE. Love Outside The Lines! There are so many “traditional” kits out there, but this is a beautiful kit designed for people who’s lives were not considered “traditional.” A kit for people who’s children might have 2 Mommies or 2 Daddies. For couples who love one another deeply but are of the same sex. I’ve never seen a kit that makes allowances for gay couples. Or gay children. Or gay families. While this kit was conceived with gay families in mind, the theme of this kit is LOVE and simply being who you are. Its perfect for any type of LO!
