The web-site for Kraft Girl Kits will be going live any minute now-YAY! We are still working out some of the features, but the blog will be moved over there instead of here on blogger. Here is the link to the new BLOG!
You will still be able to post comments without getting an account, but if you want to register here, this will allow you to comment on the blog and work the gallery once it's up and running.
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year, and I hope to see you on the new web-site and blog.

January Sneak Peek!!!

Here is the promised sneak peek! This is my favorite kit so far:) Can't wait to show you the whole thing!Here is a page using the December kit from Michelle Stankevicius:
Can you believe Christmas is in a week? Oh my! If you still need a last minute gift for your scrappy friends, think about sending them a month of Kraft Girl Kits!

If you need to give someone a scrappy gift, or need to give someone an idea of what you would like, I am offering Gift subscriptions. You have an option of a 1, 3, or 6 month subscription, and they would begin with the January kit, unless you specify that you want to start with the December kit.
Here is a super adorable page from one of this month's guest designers, Kari Ann Sweeney:I will be posting a sneak peek of January's kit and sending out a mid-month newsletter sometime this week. Just waiting on the box with the "meat" of the kit:) There are lots of fun things to look forward to in January, but more about that later!

Here are some fabulous projects sent to me from one of our guest designers, Danielle Holsapple.










Love how Danielle used the KI Sheer here.
Pam Callaghan was kind enough to provide directions with her cute ornament frame, so here they are if you want to make your own:
1. I cut a large circle out of cardboard (for a study background) using my Coluzzle. Any circle cutter will work. Using that same circle cutter I cut out a red backing and then a slightly smaller striped circle.
2. To create the circle text, I used a text path from Two Peas: http://kraftgirlkits.com/.tools/atmail/current/parse.php?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twopeasinabucket.com%2Fshop%2F54689%2F . I printed that out onto the kraft cardstock. 3. I cropped my photo with the circle cutter and mounted that to the background.
4. For the ribbon, I taped the ribbon to red tag and also the cardboard backing (I used the red tag mostly for decoration). I tied the ribbon at the top so it would be easy to attach to the Christmas tree.
5. Lastly, I glued on more of the embellishments to my ornament.
*For step 2, here are instructions on how to print text in a circle: Instructions

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!
