More Vintage Yummy Love

Well let me start by saying I'm totally in love with the new Sassafras Lass Range, Vintage Yummy. I just can't get enough of it and love creating with it so I wanted to share with you two more layouts I have created with it.
Materials Used: Sassafras Lass Darling Dear Patterned Paper , American Crafts Felt Thickers Playroom - white, Rose Moka Mini Alpha Stickers - Orange, music paper, feathers, muslin, staples, dimensional magic, pop dots.




Materials Used: Sassafras Lass Pleasantly Puzzled & Remember Me Patterned Paper & Journal Tags , KI Memories Sheet Delights Daffodil - Yellow, American Crafts Puffy Thickers Chit Chat - white, Rose Moka Mini Alpha Stickers - Orange, vintage music paper, material, staples, dimensional magic, paint.

I do seriously love this line and the thing I think I love the most about it, is that it is just so fun to play with and you can create so many different styles of layouts by mixing and matching your the different papers. Some are bright and others are subdued.

If you have not got you hands on any of this yet I suggest you do so soon cause it is going to sell out fast!

Some cards to share..

New New New

Firstly, a new design team!!  I would like to welcome Gina Rodgers and Marni Telford to the Kiti Q design team.  I was really humbled by the number of design team entries I received and it was really difficult having to narrow down to two entries only.  But these two ladies really stood out and together, we aim to rock!!!  

Over the next few days, I aim to update the website to reflect the DT changes.  FTP is not my friend at the moment and thank goodness it's the weekend because then I can get my cool tech dude to sort out the IP, configs and ports....ok...I don't know much about that stuff...all I know is....FTP is not playing nicely!!

ok...now for some fun stuff and eye candy....

Heidi Swapp Invisibles - now these are lots of fun.  It's white cardstock printed with clear resist ink.   And you use colour to bring out the design.  It's totally cool and easy to use.  Ink pads, paints, ink cubes...you can either slowly rub in those designs or just wack an ink cube directly on the paper.  This way...you get the colour you want and the design too and it's just too easy and the best bit...only $1.75!!!  3 designs in store ...click here

Sassafras Lass Vintage Yummy!

Yes, yummy indeed and it's a very very funky vintage too which really appeals to me. The full range of papers, journal stickers, sweet treat stickers and the new mini cards are in the shop here.  The mini cards are just gorgeous and in limited stock..so don't miss out!

Last year, Crop for Kids launched gorgeous embellishments designed and made exclusively for Crop for Kids.  All these embellishments have been donated by Julie's Craft Stop and Scrapware.  These are all limited editions....once they are gone....they're gone and how can you resist such yummy yummy

In keeping with the Easter theme of the Good Friday Appeal, Julie’s Craft Stop have created this

 chipboard embellishment pack consisting of eggs, a basket and daffodils, all contained within a scalloped border. All pieces are laser-cut and easily popped out. Even the letters pop out of the flowers so you can use the positive or negative image! $3

Scrapware have extended the chipboard people range that they created for Crop for Kids last year. This year we have clothing packs for the people! The images below show the people, the clothes, and what they look like combined. The chipboard people will be available for sale again this year, so customers can buy new boys and girls to dress up! The bow detail on the girl’s pinafore can even be punched out and used as a hair bow! The boy and girl will be sold in one pack $3, and the clothing in a separate pack $3.
