YAY!!! I'M BACK.....

Hi ladies,

Silly me forgot my password, so could not log in, hence why I have been away for a very long time.
I am back and have been working with a kit by an awesome designer Scrapbookizate, she designs in both full size and Tagger size kits, so you have a choice. I have come to love Tagger kits, so much more in each kit and smaller sized layouts (800 x 800 pixels) just great for printing.

I am finally coming to terms with my Diabetes, but at the moment I have good and days and bad days, glucose levels can't make up their mind what they want. I am finally getting back into my CT work, so you will see a lot more layouts from me and shock horror maybe even a freebie or 2.

The kit I have been using is called Casino:
and here are the layouts I did using it. The first is called "Never Cheat.....", I took some photos of my neices having some fun posing and decided they worked for this kit:
and the second one is called "Queen of Hearts" and is of my gorgeous granddaughter, who is the Queen of Heart:

Isn't it a great kit, you can use it for all sorts of layouts and it's a lot of fun. The kit is available from KreativeKreationsKorner, so pop on over and check out the site, there are some awesome designers and gorgeous kits in the shop.

That's about it for now, time for me to go and cook dinner for the family, before they decide to put me on menu, they all think they have been starved today for some reason.

'Til next time
Keep safe and Keep scrapping

MORE LAYOUTS TO SHARE!

Hi there ladies,

I have been very busy with CT duties lately and here are a couple more layouts I have done using the gorgeous kit Dangerously Sweet by Wicked Princess Scraps at KreativeKreationsKorner. This is a stunningly beautiful kit, with lots of neat elements and papers:
Beautifully cute aye? While you are over there you should check out all the work by their awesome designers (lots of sales at the moment too), you are bound to see something you love.
Here is the first layout:Don't you think she has that bored obnoxious diva look about her, she definately has the attitude down and she's only 8.

These three have been friends forever, and are still going strong, I think they will be BFF's for life.

So why don't you pop on over and check out all of her gorgeous kits. Check out the forum while your there too, we have some great challenges going.

'Til next time
Keep Safe and happy scrapping
Cheers Helen

NEW LAYOUTS TO SHARE!!!

Hi there ladies,

How's life been treating you lately, mine's gone downhill a little, I have just been diagnosed with Diabetes, which was a bit of a shock. So for me it's having to stab myself everyday (which is so exciting NOT!!). I'll get adjusted to it eventually, I suppose, feeling a little sorry for myself, just hold on a minute while I slap myself (pull your socks up woman and get on with life!!).

Okay that's my feeling sorry over with for the day!

I have had the pleasure of working with this awesomely, gorgeous kit by Designs by Ali, she is one of the awesome designers at a new site KreativeKreationsKorner. This is a great site and well worth popping over and having a look at. They cater for all tastes and have full size kits and tagger size kits. So why don't you all pop on over and have a look around, introduce yourselves and have some fun doing the challenges available.

Ooops off subject again. The kit is called Sweet Tales and here is a preview of it:
Don't you just think this is so cute!!!
Here are a couple of layouts I have done using it:
and my February Desktop, not a very romantic one for February, but my granddaughters insist on being on my desktop, it's their mother's birthday so included her this time too.
Cool, cute and awesome kit this is! Had so much fun with the gorgeous elements and fun papers.

That's about it for today.

'Til next time
Keep Safe and happy Scrapping
Cheers Helen
