Some New Layouts...

Here are the two layouts I did in SA with my friend Cass.

Sorry about the image of the second one - I photographed it crooked - oops!

First one is of my son Jude. The journalling reads "I see wonder and delight in your eyes...with the little things that make life so wonderful."

The other one is of my sister Hayley giving Jude big smoochy kisses. Just loved this photo - had it printed straight off of my camera, no editing or anything. Love this paper - it's from one of the My Minds Eye Magnolia ranges - can't wait to get these papers for Kiti Q. They are coming - just not until late February :-(.

Hope everyone has a fantastic night, and I'll be back in 2007!

Take care,
Kell

Home Again..

Wow - it's been a little while since I last posted. We just got back from South Australia last night after a huge 10 days away, which was just fantastic. A great break, catching up with friends and family, taking lots of photos and I did manage to sneak in a little scrapbooking too. Here are a few photos, but I had to limit myself really, which was hard cos I have some really cute and cool ones :-).

Ok, so the photos are *Me & my little sister Hayley, *My Dad with Alannah on his shoulders, *Jude at the playground, *Alannah at the movies and *My Mum and Caden, my nephew.

Alannah went to the movies for the first time ever on Boxing Day, with my mum and me, and we obviously saw "Happy Feet", and what a cute little movie!

I got to spend a couple of days with my dear friend Cass, where we tried to scrap although with three children to keep under control, it did prove a little difficult at times :-P. But we did manage to get a couple of pages done (which I will upload later).

We also had a huge family day at Noarlunga Beach on Friday, and the weather was just perfect and Alannah loved it, but Jude not so much. It was still a fantastic day out though. Love the beach!

I managed to get my hands on a copy of the For Keeps #50, and I was so excited to see one of my layouts right next to one of Charmane's. How cool! Congrats on your award Charm! And Congrats to my sis Teresa too - she won an Award in Creativity for her page of Jude entitled "Red Nose Day" - fab layout babe :-)

Well, I have stacks of new photos to scrap, so all I need now is the time to scrap them!

Also, while I was away, the Kiti Q Class Kits were launched. So far, there are only two kits, but more are on the way.

Will leave it at that, as this post is quite long as it is :-). Today might warrant another post with my layouts, but we'll see.

It's good to be home.

Big hugs,
Kell

Time to Share

Yay - we made it. The drive from Melbourne to SA wasn't too traumatic for either us or the kids. Now we have a lovely nine days to spend with family and friends. It's going to be fab!

Well, I think I can share my exciting news now....I won two awards in the For Keeps Awards for Excellence!! One for Creativity and one for Design. The latest issue, #50, was due out yesterday, so I wanted to wait until then to share. I can't wait to get my hands on an issue!

Anyway, am making this just a quick post, hope everyone is well. Happy holidays and stay safe.

Take care,

More Mini Layouts..

Only 2 left to do!

A Persistent Thought

I have constantly had this thought in my head, since launching Kiti Q in Feb 06, about how much I would LOVE to open up my own bricks & mortar retail store. And now this shop in Upwey is becoming available in January, and it would be perfect for it. Just perfect. Shop at the front, big room at the back for classes, centrally located on the main street, big window, etc. And I have so many ideas that would be arty and funky and fun.....and then the practical, real life stuff enters my head - money, set-up costs, insurance, time and of course, my family. I guess, for now, I will just have to keep dreaming...

Oh, and here are a couple more of my mini layouts for the calendar project.

Take care,

Some More Calendar Layouts

My Little Project

In a week's time my family and I are heading over to S.A to visit my family. So, I thought I'd make a little pressie for my Nan & Grandad. The page entitled "Precious Family" is the title page for a 6"x6" Calendar that I've decided to do. I'm going to feature all of my immediate family in it - which is why this page of Ash is here too. Ash is Master March :-)

Had a quiet day today, doing house-wifey stuff - running errands, paying bills, food shopping and of course, the dreaded cleaning. And of course, doing these two mini pages.

The new Scrapbook Creations came out today, and in it my sister Danielle had a page in the Quick Grabs gallery entitled "Your Song". It's her first page published in Scrap Creations, so that's quite exciting. Keep an eye out for Dan though - Scrap Creations have got quite a few of her pages coming up. She's a very talented girl, my sister :-)
