February's Designer Kit Release Newsletter

Hi
It's a month already into the new year! Don't tell me this year is going to fly by as quick as last year! Hold on to your hats ladies - it will be Christmas again before manage to get the credit cards paid off from last year.
So have you been looking at all the sneak peeks coming out from CHA? There are lots of new yummy stuff doing the rounds at the moment - and I for one can't wait to get my hands on some of it.
Have you seen the new Tim Holtz Embossing Folders that we have for pre-order in store???? These are just way too yummy to resist!
Oh, I almost forgot....
We have not 1 BUT TWO FULL TIME DESIGNERS joining us this month!
We are very pleased to announce that Michelle Frisby (Mrs Frizz) has agreed to join us on the Design Team full time - after her little stint as guest Designer for the past 3 months. We welcome you to the team permanently Michelle.
I would also like to give a big hearty welcome to the NEWEST DESIGN TEAM MEMBER - LEE LONGMIRE (LaLaLee)!!!! Lee's funky style of scrapping blows us away everytime, and we look forward to seeing more of Lee's scrapping style gracing our newsletters and gallery.
Welcome to you both!
Stay safe 'n' happy scrapping

Designer Kits...
As Michelle F didn't receive her January Kit in time for the January Newsletter, and as we didn't have a mid monthly newsletter, we thought that we would share her creations in this month's newsletter.

FEBRUARY COLOUR CHALLENGE
The Designers were challenged to use RED, BLACK, WHITE & PINK as the colours of their Layouts, they were also challenged to use the word WHY as part of their title.
2010 Calendar - created by Lee
Each year Lee makes her own calendar, so that she can keep track of what each member of her family has on each day. Lee uses Cherry Arte, Cosmos Cricket, Crate Paper, American Craft Rub ons & her Fiskars Threading Water Punch. She uses her Bind-it-all to join her calendar together. Click on the picture to see in more detail how Lee made her calendar.
NOODLE BOX - created by Michelle F Michelle has decorated a Noodle box as a gift for a friend. She uses Stemma Asian Pear Blossom paper, loads of tulle and sequins. Isn't it just gorgeous!
CARD - create by Michelle F
Michelle made a matching card to go with her gift using Stemma Asian Pear Blossom Papers. Click on the picture to see more details on how she made these cards.
WHY {because I said so} - created by Deb
Deb has used the leftovers from March 2009 Designer Kit to create this stunning layout of Mitchell - just showing that pink can be used on a masculine layout without it looking girlish!

MONTHLY GUEST DESIGNERS
After the huge success of the Design School, we decided that we would offer the opportunity to all those who completed Design School the chance to be featured in the Newsletters.
This month's Special Designers is PARKY to see their albums click on her name.
This month we challenged Parky to create a layout with more than 4 manufacturers and to use the quote "If you don't try, then there is no experience!"
FISH SPA - created by Parky
Lynn uses Kaiser, CM paper, Easy Craft Letters, Cardstock, Stazon Ink, Alpha Chip letters, Versacube ink - pinecone
Lynn says: This was my experience at a FISH SPA in KL on our
recent Trip. We went to a shopping mall on the 9th floor this Fish Spa two
reasons it was an experience for sure was 1) I dont like anyone touching my feet
and 2) my bosses daughter in one of the photos is 10 and was challenging me
nothing like a 10 year old to bring out your competitive nature....

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. |
SONG CHALLENGE
YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION - created by Leonie
Deb challenged us to use the song "You're my Inspiration" by Chicago to create a layout.
Leonie uses KAISERscrapbooking papers & rub ons, Green Tara blossoms, AdornIT alphabets

How much chipboard do you have that hasn't seen the light of day for a long time? How about making February the month where you use up some of that stash! BEN & ME - created by Lee
Lee uses Sassafrass Lass, KAISERscrapbooking, SEI papers, along with using up her Heidi Swapp Chipboard Alphas
