lots of new kits and some old ones - are back!

Last weekend I wasn't feeling well - so while I wasn't so sick that I ended up in bed - I used the opportunity to create some new kits - well actually 19 new kits that have been in the works for a while.... and some lovely new hat pin sets as I had 2 substanital orders I had to fill!

So there I was listening to the CD player, sipping my fave teas and quietly finishing off a mountain of kits I had started to prepare in May! There is so much in creating the kits I bring to you - I thought you might like to know the process.....

• Firstly there is the competempation stage..... inspiration starts to hit big time - often it is working with pictures - going through my stash or the web sites I favour, finding an awesome print of ephemera, a lovely cameo or a new lace or ribbon - even finding some die cuts.....

• Next I start to design the flower, or to dye the crochet motif so it goes with the source of inspiration

• Then I collect my bits and pieces.... vintage ribbons and laces, ephemera, tickets, buttons

• I make the hat pins and make sure everythign goes together

• I print off the cards, put the kit together inot the package so it is gorgeous. And I print the sticker for the back

• Once that is all done I photograph the kit, load to Etsy and pop the kits into the shop (into some sort of order!!)

So here are some new kits - some you have seen before nad loved - others are new....plus there are a lot more to come too - once our designers have done their layout I will load them for you and pop them into the shop..... There are some really fabulous products and I am sure they will hit the mark

So without further ado...

Tiny Wings Mini Kit $6

Postman Pete (a fave for the boys)  $6

A Little Beatrix $6

Toadstools and Butterflies Mini Kit $6.50

 Springtime Flight $6

Little Fairy $6

So pop into the shop, buy a couple and have a little fun with these... they are sweet and very good value a t $6 dollars - the cameo ones are a touch more expensive at $6.50 because of the cost of the cameo but I am sure you will agree they are worth the extra 50 cents!!

As Rachel, Michelle, Kate, Nicole and Ant use the mini kits I sent them I will load them onto Etsy with their wonderful layout too - and will tell you all about it here...... so I cannot wait to see what they do!!

NEWS FLASH!!!!!

Oh and a little bit of news - those girls going to the Scrap Girls Retreat in July will have the opportunity to buy my products from the LSBS shop ...... Cath has allowed me to supply her shop for the July Retreat - but be quick there is only one of each kit!!! And there are hat pins, And vintage seam binding - how cool is that!!

Lots of love

Some wonderful layouts by Antonella and Rachel

Here are 2 gorgeous layouts by the lovely talented ladies - Antonella and Rachel

Antonella - or Ant as we know and love her..... is a busy Mum of the cutest little boy. She is finding the kits really useful to get things together and scrap more quickly now since he arrived. Obviously her little son is pretty fascinated by the goings on at Easter time.... Ant has used the Easter Bunny Kit - and beautifully too!!

Ant will also be one of our guest designers for July! Congratulations Ant!!

Just thought I would share a couple of layouts with you....

I do actually get to scrap sometimes - though not always as much as I would like because the shop keeps me pretty busy but I am not complaining ....

I do have time though at retreats to scrap my little heart out and I am a kit girl from way back - I always make kits up for myself and then I find that I am not rummaging through boxes and bags trying to find this and that..... I have popped up some layouts I did recently at the Scrap Therapy Retreat on A Taste of Honey

I am sharing some of my layouts here of my work with Tattered Inspirations Kits and some bits and pieces from various kits too

Best Friends

This kit uses the Sisters Mini Kit (sold out at present)

(my Mum second on the left)

I added a Prima blue doily (I cut the centre out for the flower and the piece left formed the edging

My Brother

Uses ATouch of Irish Mini Kit

I added a little bird and a wrap flower ... the paper is Websters

Carefree

I had to share this with you

That beautiful ribbon is from a lady in France - look out for it in my larger kits soon

I am loving the bottle caps at the moment!!

In Grandma's Arms

My son (6 weeks old) now 27 resting in his Great Grandmas Roses's arms

Using left overs of other kits to do a layout... not wasting anything

I love seeing what people are doing with my kits so please send me an email of your work and a comment or two and I will post those as well

Congratulations to 3 fantastic Guest Designers for July.... the maxi talented Nicole Brown, Kate McCullouch and Antonella Ryan. I cannot wait to show you these girls work - they do amazing things!!!
