Exciting News to Share

Hi everyone,

In the midst of my very sad week last week, I received a very exciting email. You see I have quite an obsession with chipboard and have always wanted to be on a chipboard manufacturer design team... and now I am! Woot!

I am now designing for A 2 Z Scraplets commencing in the new year. I cannot wait to get started. If you pop on over to the blog, you can see the other talented ladies who will be joining me on the design team. Pop on over and check out their blogs when you get a chance.

On other news, Scrapbook Kits with a difference is currently having 20% off all kits at the moment. That includes lots of new kits that are being added to the store each day. There are some really gorgeous christmas ones too. You can find the store here.

Scrapbooking Haven is also having a massive store sale with so many bargains. I picked up a heap of stuff yesterday for dirt cheap prices so be sure to check it out. Maybe some christmas shopping for some crafty friends? You can find the store here. There is also a 12 days of christmas challenge going on at the ning site.

And of course don't forget to join in on the massive Scrap School competition going on at Wicked Princesses.

New Kits at Scrapbook Kits

Hi all,
Here are my latest kit creations using the fab kit Jules sent me from Scrapbook Kits for October. The colours were so not ones I am used to working with so it was a bit challenging but I am very happy with my end results. And I have so much left over that I could probably create at least another 2 layouts from this kit so fabulous value.

My First Kit is Ready For Purchase

Hi everyone,
I was recently lucky enough to join the talented team at Scrapbook Kits by Scrapping with V, which means creating layouts for one of the fabulous kits Jules makes every second month. My very first kit creations have now gone live and the kit is available in store to purchase here

Here are the layouts I created:

The layouts are featuring two of my nieces... Liarna and Keisha. Such beautiful little princesses! I absolutely love this paper collection by Making Memories in the kit. So incredibly girly and pretty. You will love this kit!
Also, this next layout is a joint challenge... the September inspiration challenge at Scrapbook Kits as well as one of my guest design creations using gorgeous items from D-Lish Scraps.

A couple more guest DT layouts to be released at a later time.

Scrapbook Kits DT Layouts for August

Hi all,
I realise I forgot to share my 1st of August layout for Scrapbook kits by Scrapping with V so here it is:

 This one is of my sister who just turned 40... much to her horror. Its using an older Kaisercraft collection. I really wanted to get rid of the papers and this seemed like a good layout for them, due to the reds and purples. Mature colours? LOL I don't know.

 And here is my layout for the August 15th sketch. Its using the gorgeous Making Memories papers from the Je tádore collection. Love this one. The photo is of my niece Keisha and her best friends. Perfect colour scheme for the photo.

Thanks for looking and for commenting. Always appreciated to know so many lovely, talented friends are stopping by :-)

Here is the latest post at Scrapbook kits by Scrap With V:

Wow, this was so hard! I had well over 40 applications and had to narrow it down to 16 positions (but that didn't work, and I've taken on four extra team members). The quality of work sent in from scrappers all around the world was totally amazing. And that's what made it so hard to narrow down the list. If I haven't chosen you this time, do not be disheartened, and please submit for our next call. (-: I've made an executive decision to limit all design team members to two consecutive terms of 6 months. After that, they are required to take a break for 6 months before they can reapply. This way, there is always new talent and fresh scrapping styles available for the customers. And it allows everyone to get a turn on our team. Sound fair? I hope so.

But without further ado, and in no particular order, please meet my new team for the next 6 months:
