Hi Everyone,
I've got something a little different this month. My newest kit is a chipboard album that you create from scratch. The theme is HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS and included in the kit is a fantastic die-cut sheet that emphasizes the theme. The colours are bright and fun.


I have made use of photos of my newly built house but the theme would allow you to easily add in photos with people, especially since it is the people that make a house a home!

You will create each page yourself from the predraw chipboard sheet I have included.
If you have never used FIMO oven baking clay before, you are in for some fun. I have included a piece of Fimo in each kits from which you will create some clay tiles and accent hearts. It is a super product to work with and the results look fantastic.

Sanding is used throughout the album to create a distressed look and to contrast the very bright colours of the papers.

Although I have included detailed instructions, this is the sort of kit that you can be creative with. Feel free to change and rearrange things as you prefer leaving you with a great coffee table piece or a special gift for someone.

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

Hi Everyone,

This month's kit is called REMEMBER. This double page layout theme is very open allowing you to use just about any photos. I loved the papers when I saw them and I thought the green and black was so unusual. The layout can accomodate 5 photos in varying sizes and although I am generally not into much journaling, I decided to make journaling a significant feature on the layout.

Techniques included in the layout are distressing (which I'm sure by now you all know I love) and some wrapping. The ring on the first page has been wrapped with black and white cord.

Hi there,

Look what's new! My latest kit is called MUSIC TO MY SOUL. The layout is themed around music but that does not limit your photos to that theme. Any photos of someone special could be used. The colours in the layout are Rasberry, Black and Beige and would be suitable for both both male and female pics.

I have cropped the photos into an unusual vertical size emphasizing them. The trumper draws attention to the large title and the cluster design on the left adds interest.

Paper pleating adds to the interest too and the punched music notes add a fun element.

Please let me nkow if you would like to order a kit. (melodyk@mweb.co.za)

Happy scrappin'

Hi there,

This months kit is called TIMELESS and it is a double page layout focusing on the theme of time. It would be perfect for heritage photos but since I don't have many heritage photos, I used my favourite subjects, as usual :) If you don't have heritage photo, then just have your pics printed in black and white or sepia.


The large clock die-cut perfectly emphasizes the time theme and the envelope, scrolls and embelishment details add to the heritage feel of the page

In addition to creating the ribbon roses ( as was seen in my previous kit also) you will create 3 dimensional tiles which will form part of the title.

Another interesting technique included in this layout is the concertina folding which forms a border on the left of the layout giving the impression of the page being pulled open.

The embellishment details help carry the theme.

Hi Everyone,
Got a new kit for you and this one is for the girls. The page is called MAKE A WISH and would suit any girlie photos, especially little princesses. The colours are beautiful lilacs and turquoise.

I have done alot of the hard work for you already by providing you with a punched scollap border and also 2 transparency dragonflies which have been coloured to suit the layout.

You will , however, get the chance to create 2 very cute ribbon flowers, using a simple gathering technique.

The rhinestones add to the feminine feel of the page and the paper distressing techniques help to give the page an informal appearance.

Hi Everyone,

Time for a new kit. I know they are slow in coming but please bear with me.

The latest kit is for someone awesome in your life. It is called ABSOLUTELY AWESOME YOU and the colouring is ideal for boys photos although there is no reason that any awesome photos could be used.

The layout includes quite a few chipboard piece, both ready made and some you need to cut yourself.

Tags, arrow and circles add interest to the layout ans assist in emphasizing the title.
