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.

Should you be interested in ordering a kit, please drop me an e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or send sms order.

Hi Everyone,

Well at last I am back. I am sure most of you thought I had let the planet but in actually fact I just moved house. Admittedly, it was into a brand new house which still needed quite a bit of energy to get finished. Things are still not completely done, but then is a house really ever finished.

The first kit for this year is called DARE TO DREAM. It is most suited to school portraits and class photos (I'm sure most of you have some packed in a drawer somewhere), although I don't feel that it is restricted to that. The double page layout features colours that most school photos would be suited to and I have included some distressing techniques to bring a more informal appearance to the layout.

Some of the distressing techniques include crumpling, folding and inking

I also made use of staples to follow through on the school theme as well as the distressed look. This is optional though

I have included an envelope as part of the layout to store reports or memorabilia pertaining to that particular year Contact me via e-mail (melodyk@mweb.co.za) or sms should you wish to order a kit.

Hi there everyone,

Can you believe that it is the middle of November already! This certainly has been a year that has flown by.

My new kit is called "SO HAPPY TOGETHER". It is a lovely fresh cool coloured layout that accomadates 3 horizontal photos. As the title implies it is themed around "together". I made use of sepia photos but you are not restricted to that. The background colour of the layout is white, although the photo doesn't reflect that very well.

There are 2 main techniques on the layout. The first one is the rosette flowers, which I have done in a kit previously, but have since discovered an easier and more effective way of doing. Once you know how to do these flowers you can use them on other layouts and even greeting cards too.

The second technique involves creating paper tubes from patterned paper. These are packed tighly together to form an interesting accent.
