Hi all,

Our Scrap day is approaching fast so I thought I would let you all have a sneak peek at what the 2 projects will look like. This is only a tiny peek though because I woudn't want to give away any surprises!

The first project is a double page layout called "Uniquely You"

The second project is a Chipboard Album called "Delight in Life"

Looking forward to seeing you all and having a fantastic fun day together!

Hi all, it has been a hectic start of term, but have managed to squeeze in a new kit. This kit is called TAKE TIME TO ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS and is themed round taking time out for the things in life that seem to get forgotten about. I guess my busy couple of weeks inspired the idea for this layout. So pull out those photos of relaxing on the beach or in the garden, or spending a moment with someone special.

The theme of the layout is further carried through with the use of clocks and wings.

Please contact me via e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or phone should you wish to order a kit.

Phew, just made it for the second September kit! It's been a bit of a hectic month so I got bit behind with this one. So here it is anyway. The kit is called LIVING THE GOOD LIFE and will work great for variety of photos. Although the colouring is navy and turquoise blues, it is not restricted to masculine photos. I have included a masking technique which I'm sure you will enjoy exploring.

If you are intersested in ordering a kit, please let me know via e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or by phone.

Spring is here and so is the first kit for September. The kit will be avalaible from Monday 14th September. Since it is Spring I decided to do a layout with a Spring feel to it. The kit is called NATURAL BEAUTY and is ideal for photos of a little girl. You could also use photos of a beautiful garden or similar. You will need 3 photos for this layout and they could be colour or black and white. In this layout you will create a frame for the focal photo and also make use for a sanding technique to create swirls on the background paper.

A little bird house adds the final touches to the layout!

Hi all, time for a new kit. This kit is called LIFE IS A JOURNEY... and would suit many different types of photos. I used photos of my husbands first microlight flip but any adventurous activity or travel photos would work. Even something fun done as a family. Although I used sepia photos on my layout, you could use coloured photos too. Unfortunately the colour in my photos clashed with the layout colouring a little.

On this layout you will create a pull out pocket for multiple photos allowing you to use as many as 15 photos on this double page lyout, making it just perfect for loads of holiday photos.

If you are interested in ordering this kit, please let me know by e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or phone.

The first kit for August is called HAPPINESS and I'm sure you have have a photo just perfect for this layout. The colouring is rich and earthy and will tie in very well with a sepia or B/W photo. I have done quite a few double page layouts recently, so decided on a single page for this layout. The main techniques you will use are paper distressing and paper weaving. Should you be interested in ordering a kit, contact me by e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or phone.

So here it is, ONE IN A MILLION. The newest kit is now available and I'm sure you have some special photos that waould be just right for this layout. Colouring is black, white and silver/grey and it is themed around anyone special or even a special occasion. The kit involves a little stitching and a paper pleating technique to create lovely little flowers.

Hi again, hope you all had a wonderful holiday and that everyone is well rested. I know it has been a long time since I last posted anything, so here is a little peep at my next kit. It is just about finished and should be ready to go by the end of the week. The layout is called "ONE IN A MILLION"and is a very versatile layout and theme. Photos of someone special, or a special occasion, even a wedding would work. Will post the full layout here on Friday 24 July.

This is my last kit for June. It is called "IT'S PARTY TIME" and themed around parties and celebrtion. The kit would be best suited for girls because of the pastel colouring, but I think it would quite easily work for baby or toddler birthdays for boys or girls.
Please contact me via e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or phone if you would like to order one.

I am going to be away for part of July so my next kit will only be towards the end of July. I'm sure that will give you all some time to catch up on all your other scrapping. Hope you have super holidays with your children and families. XXX

Are you all ready for a little peek at the next kit? It is called "It's Party Time" and is themed around birthday or other party occasions. The colouring is a little on the feminine side, so would work great for girls. The kit will be available from Monday 22nd June, so check back then to see the full layout.

Hi all, the new kit is available from today and is called WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING. So pull out those photos you have of your precious loved ones sleeping. It would be ideal for baby photos, but it can work just as well for children or even a granny/grandad. The layout involves creating an interactive slider which hides some photos inside the window and so allows you to use 6 photos on the double page. If you would like to order one, please do so by e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or phone. Happy scrapping!

It's Sneak Peek time again. So here is a little look at the new kit. It is called "WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING" and themed around someone sleeping. Does not have to be baby related. Colouring is brown, cream and blue. This kit will be available from Friday 5th June, so check back here then for a full view of the layout.

Here is a look at the my latest kit. As I mentioned in my last post, the theme is beach and the title is PURE BLISS. The layout can accomodate 7 photos of varying sizes. The layout involves paper piecing and paper distressing. This is an ideal layout for your December holiday photos.
Please contact me via e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or phone to order a kit.

Here is a little peep at what the next kit will look like. The double page layout has a beach theme and fun, bright colours. Look out next week for the full layout.

I know it's been a while, but at last, here is my newest kit. It is called BOYS TOYS and is a double page layout perfect for both little and "big" boys who love their toys. This kits also includes a fun technique using shrink plastic and for those of you have never used it before, the instruction explain exactly what you need to do. Other techniques that you will use are lacing and distressing. You will need 5 photos of varying sizes for this layout. Please contact me via e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or phone should you want to order one.

So here it is..... YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. This page layout is ideal to feature photos of someone special, whether that be a child, friend or loved one. The papers are rather feminine, so the layout would be best suited to girls, but I never say never, so experiment a little to make the suit your photos. It is a single page layout, but for those of you who like double pages, the leftover papers could be put together to make a second page.
Contact me via phone or E-mail should you want to order one.

A NEW "SNEAK PEEK" for my next kit, YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. Just so you can start planning your photos. The colouring is pastels and florally, with a yummy yellow background. WATCH THIS SPACE - Will upload the full page in the next couple of days. XXXXX

Hi all, these are some pics of my latest kit. This kit is an altered Jumbo matchbox with a cute little mini album inside. It makes a beautiful gift or a little brag book to keep in you hand bag.These are not all the pages to the mini album, but it gives you an idea of the overall style and colouring of the album. Sepia photos would work great with this particular colouring.

Hi all, sorry about taking so long in getting a new post up. So at last, just to keep you excited, here is a sneak peak at what my next kit will be. This time my kit is an altered box rather than a page layout, just to make things a little interesting. The kits should be completed by the middle of next week.... keep watching!

So this is the new kit. The theme focuses around LOVE. Either in family, friendship or romance(especially since it has just been Valentines Day). I created my layout around my family and used 3 photos on my layout. There is room to add another photo if you need to.

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

I thought I might give you a little glimpse of what is to come in my next kit. Here are some of the papers I will be using so that you can get an idea of the colour scheme. The theme will be around love/friendship in keeping with Valentines month. Should be up in the next week or 2.

Happy Scrapping!

At last, my first new kit! Sorry it has taken so long to get going but settling in takes time.

The kit is designed for 3 photos, although you could replace the small "birdie block" with another photo. The larger photo is a normal Jumbo size (10cmx15cm) and the 2 smaller ones are 6.5cmx4.5cm. The smaller ones can be a little bigger, but play around with the space you have available. I had smaller ones printed allowing me to keep the full image on my photo.

If you are interested in buying a kit, please e-mail me at melodyk@mweb.co.za, or phone me if you have my number.

This is the first of my posts, all a little new to me! On this blog I would like to post some of the scrapping layouts I am working on and some of the classes I will be offering. The first thing I will post one of my latest layouts. It was inspired by a layout I saw on www.scrapperlicious.blogspot.com, dated the 17th September 2008. I love Irene's blog and find all her layouts very inspiring.

Hope to have some new kit pages up soon.
