This month, we&#8217;re featuring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=5&amp;products_id=355\">&#8220;Ahoy Mateys&#8221;<\/a> and the coordinating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=4&amp;products_id=354\">&#8220;Hot Mess: Pirate Style&#8221;<\/a>.  All month long these piratey products will be 30% off!! And . . . if you post a layout in my gallery using anything from Ahoy Mateys or Hot Mess: Pirate Style (regardless of when you purchased it), and you might find yourself featured on my blog and perhaps get a little extra sumthin-sumthin as a bonus. To make sure I see your Featured Product layout, post it in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/gallery\/\">my gallery<\/a> and leave a comment here with a link to your page.  (Not very many people shared their featured product layouts with me in September, so the odds of winning a prize were really good!!  Make sure you enter and you just might WIN!!)<\/p>\n<p>I probably say this about all my featured products (probably because I always pick my favorite kits!) but I LOVE &#8220;Ahoy Mateys&#8221;.  It&#8217;s one of those kits that just came together effortlessly.  It&#8217;s big, its PACKED full of awesome elements. I just love it.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to create brand new a Card Collection pack to go with it, since I&#8217;m mostly a pocket scrapper these days!  I always need MORE CARDS! MUST. HAVE. MORE. CARDS.  The new cards are 30% off all month long too!!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=512\"><b><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: x-large;\">&#8220;Card Collection: Ahoy Mateys&#8221;<\/span><\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=512\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/miscimages\/brittdes_ahoy_cards_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nMy team has created some amazing new layouts using Ahoy Mateys!!

I totally love how its kind of pocket style, but kind of not.  That long strip of gold and black paper down the center.  It&#8217;s just a great LO and a perfect use of that kit!!<\/p>\n<p>And secondly, Monica (aka Umyesh)&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/gallery\/displayimage.php?pid=4051\"><b>&#8220;Hank&#8221;<\/b><\/a> layout:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/gallery\/albums\/userpics\/10229\/HankFace600px.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Soooo adorable.  That squishy baby face.  What a fun idea to use this kit for a baby&#8217;s car ride.  (Fun fact &#8211; my two featured scrappers Katie &#038; Monica are SISTERS in real life!! So good job you two!!)<\/p>\n<p>Katie &#038; Monica are getting a free kit of their choice from my store!
