Mel's Me Time

Goodmorning Everyone, Welcome to Friday! It is so nice to know that the working week is almost over and that a weekend of creativity is close by! It has been a little crazy around here....this appears to be "normal" ~ it would be nice for things to slow down just a little! I am here to share with you a little project that I created for friends of ours that have just had a beautiful new baby boy. A little gift to celebrate the occasion... I also made a little card to welcome Xavier into the world. Congratulations Ash and Bid....what a beautiful little boy! I have used the Kaisercraft 'Party Animals' collection. It is such a cute collection and even though it is party based it is so versatile that you can use it for so many different kid related projects. Scrapbookit News! Over at Scrapbookit Jo has announced her new Design Team. I have been so lucky to be asked to continue on the team with another stint as Design Team Leader. ...

I don't know whether the thought of Christmas in July got me inspired to complete this project, that really should have been done before last Christmas, but hey it is better late than never! I just love the Kaiser wooden off the page projects.....this is the Advent Calendar. I used the beautiful Kaiser Countdown range of papers....some paint, Mod Podge, Kaiser Christmas Rub ons, some Dimensional Magic and what Chrissy project is complete without some Kindy Glitz. Check it out...I'm really happy with the results! The Christmas Tree ~ I used the technique that my beautiful friend Nikki has used once before. I used strips of paper, some crinkle cut scissors and layered them up the tree. It gives the tree a little bit of dimension to it!!! Until next time, Melxx
