New from KI Memories!  They sent us a great batch of images and info on their new release!

"For nearly 10 years now, KI Memories has been developing colorful scrapbooking products for creative people like you. We've designed literally thousands of products that sit next to your treasured photographs and personal stories. We're so honored every time someone chooses one of our papers, stickers, embellishments or albums to help tell their story.

After nearly a decade of passion into our work, we decided it was time for a little "facelift"! This refreshed look not only honors where we've been, but where we hope to go in the next 10 years. We're thrilled to share a peek at our new branding, and a peek at our exciting and innovative new CHA Summer collection with you!

This collection includes fresh product ideas, a little vintage flair, and all the color you're used to seeing from KI - all wrapped up in the prettiest packaging! The “Over the Rainbow Collection”, synonymous with its name, is filled with innovative products across a rainbow of colors. Everything coordinates effortlessly, so mixing and matching is a joyful crafting experience.

We hope you enjoy your journey over the rainbow! Available at Two Peas in a Bucket this fall."
