A fresh Start...

is the name of KimB's Designs new kit, and I got to play with it. I love the colours and all the elements in the kit. (image linked to store)The kit is geared towards New Year's but when I first saw it, I thought of a cold winters day, and got my favourite photo of the boys out and scrapped this. I managed to combine it with the Quote Challenge at DSO
And then after decorating the tree and messing about with Robert and tinsel, I remembered that there is actually some tinsel in the kit, and this is what came about then.
It's a great kit and I am sure I will be scrapping some New Years pics with it, just after, so watch this space!
CU soon

Christmas 2008

Yep, a bit behind with the scrapping, but aren't we all?!
When I saw Bunny's new templates (currently on offer) (image linked)

I immediately thought they would be perfect for all the Xmas photos I took last year!
And yep, they worked. I used Andrea Dickinson's "Deck the Halls" for it.Ooh, and spot who was behind the camera most of the day!! thank goodness for the selftimer!


Back soon! Still plenty of layouts lurking!

I went Hybrid!!!

Yep! I did it! But I managed to find something to make that DIDN'T involve glue! (tend to get that everywhere!)
I made my grandma a calendar using Biograffiti's great template (image linked to store)

And I will let the pictures speak for themselves here they areKits that you can see, are Blaze by Flergs, Stop, Drop and Roll by Ziggle Designs, Snowblind by Sweet Digi Scraps, Deon by KimB's Designs. I used 12 different kits in all, and it was GREAT fun to make!
I had it bound at Staples, cause here in Germany I couldn't find anywhere to buy rings to bind it, all the stores kept offering me were the rings you find on keys, where I would have had to try to feed the paper through, I don't think that would have looked to good!

So if you like this, then you'll be knocked out if you go and visit Danyale today, she has made a beautiful baby shower hybrid present. Go and see it here
CU soon

Santa's helpers visited

And I got two completely different layouts done about it.

First of all, I have to show you my new desktop! Charlie has posted her Desktop Challenge on the NEW DSO Challenge Blog, and seeing as I still had Octobers on my desktop it was time for a change.I used KimB's newest Xmas kit "Merry And Bright" which she RAKed me with on Saturday, thanks again Kim, it really really cheered me up!

But I think the pics need explaining. Last year we introduced a new tradition to the family, on November 30th, the boys write their Xmas lists and leave them on the front doorstep for Santa's helpers to pick up, and Santa's helpers then leave an advent calendar for the boys. Last year the helpers also picked up Richard's dummy and their baby drinking beakers. This year we didn't need to "get rid of" anything, so they only got the Xmas lists.
And in the pics on the layouts you can see them both "signing" their lists and this year it was raining so we couldn't put them on the doorstep, so we posted them in our letterbox, and put the flag up, so that the helpers knew where to find them.

I loved the pics so much, that I knew just how to use Funky Playground Designs Template (on their blog today)Credits:
Template by Valorie Brown at FPD
Funky Joy by Wendy Page at FPD
Santa from Comfort and Joy by Miss Tiina at FPD
Alpha from Spot of Color by Valorie Brown at FPD

As you can see I have been having fun, when really i should have been making my Xmas card, at this rate no one will get one before Xmas, more like Easter! OK off now, to try and get the cards made.
CU soon
