Come Join us at SCRAPS OF US and join us for a fabulous Class by Nadege!

February is a month I am looking forward to greatly. I cannot wait to participate in Nadege's class on Scraps of Us. Absolutely stunning page, come join in the fun and learn to step out of your box like I am doing this year, $15 & reasonable postage for the Class Kit or $5 for the class cost and supply your own items, either way I'm sure you'll be delighted with this one.

The class information stays up for an entire weekend so there is plenty of time to get in and follow the instructions at your own leisure.

I have had an absolute blast with these girls, they're all lovely, just good old fashioned fun and chatter and scrapping....I PROMISE!!!!

Hope to see some new faces there :) xo Kris

Check her site out for some great buys and sign up for her FREEBIE FRIDAY to receive a fabulous FREE file every week :)

Some Camel Files to share...

I had a request from my LSS Lady for a camel file this week, I found one, but it has 2 humps and she was actually after one with just one hump, so I found one and tweaked it a bit with some good results.

Here are the links for them both for you in .svg format :)

Enjoy....

Camel - 1 Hump

Camel - 2 Humps

My "About Me" Book - 1st Challenge

OMG I do not EVER do photos of myself, that is why you would normally find a photo of some inanimate object or one of my kids in that **spot** where I should be.....however...not even stepping anymore but JUMPING yeah baby JUMPING right out off my little ole box this year....

I completed the very first HUGE challenge for me, "About Me" Challenge on Scraps of Us...gotta say it again....thanks to Tina for encouraging me to do this! This year is rockin so far, so many new projects and new ideas woohooo I am just so excited....so anyway without any more dribble on my part...

Here's my first challenge..My JOURNEY ....ta...dah!!!

Card making .... Attempt #4

Wow, what can I say about cardmaking? Hmmm I think it is actually more difficult to create a "card" than it is to create an entire layout or an entire album even lol.

I must say though, I was inspired by Vol 13 No.12 of the Aussie Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft mag, which I must say I never buy, but it arrived as a bonus mag with a recent Scrappy Mag (generous souls) so anyway... I was inspired by this gorgeous little card in there, actually several of them in there with ladybugs on them.....ah I just ADORE Ladybugs so I quickly sorted out an .svg pattern for the LADYBUG which I then cut with the cricut (of course) and made a quick lil wire antennae for her "must say she's looking pretty cute" lol and I also created and cut an .svg pattern for the DIECUT PAPER and a lovely new friend gave me a file for the lacy border in the background (thanks Christine) much appreciated **see I did use it** lol

Anyway, that's probably quite enough blithering on for one day, long story short, I created a card for my best friends' Mummy for her 80th Birthday tomorrow and I am stoked at how it turned out.

Online Door Hanger Class with DT Member Tina

OMG what can I say, I had a blast, as I always do with the girls on scrapsofus ..... find them HERE

Thanks Tina for an awesome evening, Vic thanks for having a fabulous group and of course hosting these online events, they are such great fun :) Looking forward to the next one in February woohoo.

Well this evening we made a door hanger, my daughter wanted me to do Tinkerbell for her door, her wish was my command...... only took me a whole evening the night before to muck about with the vector file for a Tinkerbell, other than her little eyes which just wouldn't cut, it turned out not too shabby. (Pardon my badly handcut peepers) lol

Needless to say, she LURVES it soooo much, it inspired her to go and clean her door after I took this photo OMG got a few more doors to add hangers too me thinks :) Start cleanin them doors kiddies lol lol lol

My creations.....

Here are some cool flourishes that I made this week, all 3 are in .svg format. Hope you can use them. Enjoy .... Cheers Kris

Here's a screenshot of the flourishes for you....

Happy Crafting :)

My Berry Sweet Lil Girl.... Amy aka Lil Red or Gingie lol

I just totally adore these Paper Piecing Patterns from myscrapchick.com..... she totally rocks!

Well I couldn't resist buying the fairy bears set with these gorgeous big ole pink berry houses, I mean OMG how could you pass up all that pink!!!

So this is my first layout using these lil fairy girls.....

Happy New Year......2009 is gonna rock!!!

I am totally loving this layout. This would have to be the first time ever that I've actually taken a photo and had it scrapped within 24 hrs holy moly!

Rachael thinks she is just "fabulous" at the moment, so we scrapped the moment. Lots of cricut cut elements on this page.

Couldn't help myself, I had to do the stockings this year!

I just couldn't help myself, I had to take a photo of the stockings this year, normally they get spread out all over the place, this year I organised the hutch and had all 5 of them hanging from it. Turned out kinda nice actually.
