Now on to our Fabulous Friday Releases! These are outstanding!!

J.S. Photography has brought you 2 awesome freebie packages! What a great way to get in on that contest he’s hosting if you don’t already have his images. Don’t forget his packages are also on sale this month because he’s our Featured Photographer. These freebies are beautiful as is all his photography.

Lacy Clagg has released a Bella (Twilight) Package as well as 2 BCA images. These are outstanding Lacy!!! Twilight Fans are going to love your take on Bella!

Jenny Parson (JennyZ DreamZ) has brought you a Cowboy Freebie pack, a new PTU pack and 2 BCA images. Breathtaking!

We have a Pink Cake Element pack by Sherri Baldy. Of course the pink goes right along with our BCA month and would look great with our new BCA images. Sherri’s elements are hand drawn and painted and you don’t see that very often in the PSP world.

Last but not least we have 1 new single image by C and C Brown. This is a cute little guy. He is only available in image form and not tube though.

Be on the lookout for next weeks releases as we will soon be having 2 new artists join us!
