Hi all,
Well, spring is definitely in the air and I am sure you are all feeling the energy and motivation creep back into your body....such a good feeling!

My new kit is dedicated to all the Dads around. I haven't done anything for Dad in a long time so it is defintely due. The kit allows for 4 photos and makes use of masculine blues and greens. It is simply called DAD.

The kit involves using a bleaching technique which some of you may have done with me before, but if not it is fairly simple. You just must take care to protect your clothing and work area before beginning with the bleach. Normal household bleach is used so it is not necessary to get anything special to create it. All you will need is an atomizer bottle or an old toothbrush.

Some Orange colour has been splashed here and there to add some brightness and emphasis.

Please let me know if you are interested in ordering. (melodyk@mweb.co.za)

Hi everyone,

This months new kit is called LAUGHTER and the title pretty much explains the theme. It is a double page layout featuring a beautiful double sided bracket die-cut. The layout will be suited to some fun photos in either colour or sepia.



Some techniques include creating a pleated accent strip.


Also added interest is created by punching eyelet holes and lining them with colour.

The title is emphasize by it's bold colour and some pen work edging.

.....And I made it.....a second kit for the month of July. That is a accomplishment which I have been struggling to achieve in the last while, so here it is.

The kit is called WINTER DREAMS. The layout consisits of beautiful icy coloured papers that will be just right for the wintery photos you have. Although I have used portrait photos, any winter fun photos will work.

Included are some beautiful Glitter chipboard scrolls to emphasize the icy feel.

A bry brush paint technique also carries the theme through and helps to highight the printed wording.

Should you interested in ordering this kit please let me know via e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or sms.

Hi all,
So the holidays are over. They actaully went by much faster than I expected and before I knew, a month has past since my last kit!!!

The new kit involves using some amazing paper than can be distressed to create great results. This exciting paper is called Core-dinations and allows you to sand over the surface colour to reveal hidden embossed images and journalling. The colouring is black and grey and the kit is called "REAL BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES". It is designed to fit 6 photos themed around a special memory.

The technique involves sanding gently over the surface of the paper to reveal the wording, shown here.
Let me know via sms or email (melodyk@mweb.co.za) if you would like to order.

Now for something a little different. This kit is called CLOSE TO MY HEART and it is an altered ring file. It allows for alot of photos and gives you the option of adding extra pages as you require them. It is a fun project which you can adapt to any ring file you may have lying around, although I do provide a file in the kit for you to get started with.
As the title implies, the theme focuses around someone or something that is close to your heart. I have made use of smaller photos as you are slightly restricted by the size of the file. This does create an interesting project and a fantastic gift.
Just an example of a few of the pages.

Please let me know by e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or sms should you like to order a kit.

I cannot believe that it is the middle of May already. This year is certainly flying by. Since it is May I decided to work with the theme of Mom's. This time I am hoping that you will use photos of yourself as a Mom with your beautiful children. The kit is called MOM (of 2), although I have made provision in the kit for the number of children you do have.The colouring of the layout is olive greens and pinks and the layout would suit both black and white and sepia photos. Even colour photos would be suitable as long as they coordinate with the layout colouring.Each block on the page is treated individually creating an interesting layout.

Snapshots

Okay it's that time again and I am just loving this paper!!! The newest kit is available and it is called SNAPSHOTS OF YOU. This kit is perfect for any photos really, but would suit the layout best if they were printed in black and white. The kit makes use of a number of different size photos to get the maximum effect out of the "snapshot" theme.
By creating pull out envelope pockets you make space to include even more photos.

I do explain in the instructions how you go about cutting your album sleeve so that the envelopes can pull out even when the layout is in the album.
