The First Limited Edition Kit is complete and has been sent to our Guest Designer,

Andrea Senn

. I can't wait what she will do with it. There is a sneak peek up on the

website

now!

Here is another LO from the May Kit...

I can't wait until next weekend! Kiwiscraps here I come :)) I hope to catch up with some of you there!
Have a good weekend!

May Kit

I've just put up the May Kit on the

website.

It has underlying masculine tones with a little sparkle :) and some felt and chipboard. I'm not saying anymore, you will have to go and see for yourself :) Okay here is a little looksie...

I also want to thank

Sarah

and

Dionne,

my Guest Designers this month. They have done some amazing work with the Kit. Go check out the

Gallery.

I'm also busy working on my first Limited Edition Kit (to be released May 1st) and trying to keep the kids entertained! Off to a 4th birthday party tomorrow so I better get some sleep :)

Have a good weekend!


This LO is from the May Kit.

Kiwiscraps and Sneak Peeks

Okay, time for a May Kit Sneak Peek. This is the pic posted on the

website...

And this is a LO I've done for the aussiedares blog challenge (lift of Rhonna) because I'm going to Kiwiscraps and would love to win a free class (who doesn't :))...but it's also another sneak peek since all the supplies are from the May Kit!

So who else is going to Kiwiscraps???

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that applied to be one of the Guest Designers for our upcoming Kits. The response was overwhelming and there was no way I could choose only a couple of Designers. So in the end I decided on the following very talented ladies that are sure to inspire you over the next few months.

International:

Stephanie Howell, Charity Hassel, Linda Barber, Sara McMartin, Andrea Senn

Australia:

Michelle Vass, Claire Bremner, Mardi Winen, Kathie Link, Jane Fitchett, Alli Paterson, Mel Diener, Dionne Molina, Yvette Adams, Jill Geraghty-Groves, Tania Davey!

Congratulations!!

The AddOn Kit is now sold out! This months Kit was the most popular so far and I encourage everyone that wants a Kit next month to send me an e-mail. I'm only ordering limited quantities at the moment. You can still get the Main Kit or Mini Kits this month.
On to other news...I'm officially a soccer mum now. Max started playing for the first time last week and is having a great time. Pics will follow soon :) On Sunday you can find me at the Galston Oval watching my son chase a ball...lol What a way to spend the day:)
Talk later.

Bugs

I'm experiencing the first few side effects of having a child at school. Tummy bugs :)) Not nice! Romy slept from 4.30pm yesterday until 7.30am today and has hardly been away from the toilet since.
Otherwise life has been busy packing kits in the last couple of days. The AddOn Kit is nearly sold out, I've only got a couple left. So if you want one you have to be quick :) Here is an image of the Main Kit and a couple of LO's done with the April Kit. Also go and check out what Shirley Chai has done with this months Kit. You can see her LO's in the

Gallery.

They are amazing!
Have a great weekend!

Kit is up!

Ok, the

April Kit

is up now. It's got bright colours, stunning big letter stickers from Mustard Moon and some gorgeous papers. Go check it out! Here is a look at the Add On Kit...
Better go...lots to do today!

A few problems...

I'm having a few problems adding the new kits to the shopping cart. I will sort it out first thing in the morning. Sorry :(

April Sneak Peek...

...going on sale 15th March, only 4 more sleeps :)) Our Guest designer this month is Shirley Chai and I can tell you she has done an amazing job with the Kit!!

Have a good week and I will be back in a couple days to post another Sneak Peek.

Guest DT call

Time for a new post! Life is so busy that sometimes time just flies by and suddenly 2 or 3 weeks just passed without me updating my blog. I've decided to open up the Guest DT spot for the

Kits

and posted a call on the

Pubcalls Blog.

Here it is...

Designing Memories Guest Designer Call for June and July 2007

Designing Memories

is a new and exciting monthly Australian Kit site looking for Guest Designers! Each month we showcase a Guest Designer on our

website

and we are now looking for fresh - new or established- talent to be our guest designers for June 2007 and July 2007.

As a Designing Memories Guest Designer you will receive the Main Kit for the month and an equally fabulous Add-On Kit. We would expect at least a couple of layouts created with the Kits ready to publish in our Gallery or to be used in our continuing promotion. As a bonus for being part of our creative team, if selected you will also be receiving one of our past months Mini-Kits just for you to play with.

To be considered, please submit 2 current Layouts to katja@designingmemories.com.au by the 25th of March… We will be picking one Australian and one international Artist to be designing and presenting the Kits for either the month of June or July. Your work will be featured in our Gallery and then made available for viewing in our Archive Gallery with previous Guest Designers work.

Thank you for your interest and Good luck!


And a couple of LO's from the latest FK...


Have a good Sunday!

Busy weekend

Birthday parties and packing kits, that was my weekend! But I'm not complaining :) I really loved working with this months Kit. It is very soft. Here are some pics from the party and another LO from the

March Kit.

Have a great week!

Wooooooooohoooooo

The shopping cart is finally working on my website. I'm very excited, it will make things much easier for me. Go check the new Kit out

here.

:)

New Kit is up!

The new March Kit is up on the site...

Designing Memories

I's romantic, with beautiful greens and pinks. Here are a couple of LO's from the Kit! Have a good weekend!

Sneak Peek

...for the March Kit is up

here!

My little girl is getting used to school I think. Last Friday she had a meltdown (and so did I...lol) but she has been much better since. A little friend she made helps a lot, doesn't make her feel so alone. Next year I will have Max in school too. It is going to feel a little strange to have them both go off 5 days a week. But I'm looking forward to have that time to do other things :)
Sooooooooo...I'm busy working on the March Kit at the moment and will post a little sneak peek soon :) I have also been promised the shopping cart will be ready in time which will make it much easier for everybody. Thank you to everyone that sent me e-mails and gave me feedback! And if you still haven't checked it out here is the link...

Designing Memories.

Have a good week!

First Day of school!

Today Romy is spending her first day at school. She walked into our bedroom this morning already dressed in her school uniform :) There was no hesitation or tears when we left which made it much easier for me to walk out of the classroom. There are only 16 kids in her class and she will have a great time I'm sure.
I'll leave you with another LO from the February Kit which you can order

here

...

Have a good week!

Happy Australia Day!

There will be 10% off all 3 and 6 month subscriptions over the entire weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) at

Designing Memories.

Get in quick as there are a limited number of subs available!
I hope you all have a great weekend!

This little "Secret Box" and "Secret Book" from Maya Road would make a great little present for Valentines Day! You can get it at

Designing Memories.

It is the February Mini Kit.
Thank you again to all the girls that have given me such a positive response to my Kit and put messages and links on their blogs! It means so much to have your support!

Less then a week to go before my little girl starts school and I haven't got a uniform, no shoes, nothing. That will give me something to do for the next few days I guess :)
Have a good week :)

Thank you

...to everyone that commented on my blog or wrote me an e-mail. I really appreciate your feedback on my first Kit :)
I'm very greateful for the positive response I've so far received.
If you haven't seen the Kits yet you can go to

Designing Memories.

Nic Howard has also done some beautiful designs with the Kit that you can see in the Gallery...
Here are another couple of LO's that I've done with the Main and Add-On Kit.
I hope you are having a good week!

We are up and running!!

Finally the day has arrived! The February Kits are up on the site...

Designing Memories

...please let me know what you think, I would really appreciate some feedback! Thank you so much to

Nic

for being our first Guest Designer. Go and check out her beautiful work in the

Gallery

!
The Main Kit (pictured) is very fresh and bright. It has some beautiful papers from Rouge de Garance in it as well as lots of other yummy goodies. There are also an Add-On Kit, a Mini Kit and a Gypsy Bag avaiable.
Please be patient with our website, we have still to iron out some bugs with getting our shopping cart up and running. Hopefully this will be sorted for next month but for now please e-mail me at katja@designingmemories.com.au and I can either invoice you through PayPal or you can direct deposit.
I will leave you with a LO I did with the Main Kit...
