Finally I can tell !!!!

Well, this has been a looooong wait for me, I really dont keep secrets very well at all, especially when its one Im so very excited about. OK, well, you all know that I reapplied for the Kaisercraft Design team for 2011-2012 right, well, Ive pulled out of the running !!!   I can see your faces now LOL. But its for a very good reason :)

I am now working at Kaisercraft, as an in house design team member

How totally awesome is that. I am working with Mel Kennedy, and all the wonderful people at Kaisercraft, I get to play all day, AND I get paid too. Does it get any better. Its part time, so I still get to be a stay at home Mum which was my wish. So all in all, Im a really happy little camper at the moment. Life is good :). 

Now I have another layout to share, yep, you guessed it, a Kaisercraft one. This is another photo of me, I dont know whats got into me lately, Ive only ever done like, 4 layouts of me ever, and three of them have been in the last few weeks. Anyway, this was done using 'Gelato'. This is a really soft, pretty range. I was a bit lost as to what to do with it in the beginning, but, I am quite happy with how this turned out. And really like the collection now.
 Ive made some really easy flowers by simply cutting 8 circles from the patterned paper, and pinching in one end of each circle, and glueing to make a little pleat. Do this with 7 of the flowers, using the 8th one as the base to glue the other 7 onto. Really easy right !!  




Ah, I feel so much better now Ive been able to tell you guys my news. Thanks for calling in, and a HUGE congrats to all the new Kaisercraft DT members who are also being announced on the Kiasercraft blog this morning. xx. They are a very talented bunch.
