December's Designer Kit Release Newsletter
December 01, 2009 |
Hi
Traditionally December is the month when stores release their Christmas Kits - but we are going to shake things up a little this Christmas Season - and release our Christmas Kit in January - all ready to scrap your photos taken on Christmas Day. So stay tuned for January's Kit Release in the New Year.
Also a reminder, as January is typically the time for Holidays - we will only be having one Newsletter in January, but the Designers will be back in February with our usual twice monthly newsletters.
This month we welcome a new Kit Designer - Michelle Frisby from NZ - Mrs Frizz as she is known in the forum and gallery. Michelle's layouts regularly feature in the Basic Grey Gallery also. Michelle has such a finesse with the New Prima Range of Flower Sprays. Check out her gallery HERE
We welcome Michelle to the crew! And we thank Kim once again for her time and gorgeous layouts over the past 3 months!
Stay safe 'n' happy scrapping

Blog Sketches
This year, the Designer's thought that they would have a go at creating some sketches for the readers of the blog. So each week we will be posting a new sketch by one of the Designers - and hopefully a layout using the sketch. But that depends on the busy schedule of the Designers - But we promise you there will be a SKETCH each week. So why not jump on over to the BLOG and check out each week's sketch. |
STITCHING ON LAYOUTS
NOW WHERE WILL JO SIT - created by Marg
Marg uses loads of stitching on her layout. This is from a class that Marg taught at one of the recent retreats.
