Looking forward...

Happy New Year! Trust you and yours have a great year ahead.

There's a lot to be excited about here at The Scrappin Kats. The Kreative Team Members have been busy brainstorming on new ventures and challenges to come in 2009.

You've already heard about the 2009 Month in Review monthly kit. What a fantastic idea! It will be so great to look back this time next year and see all of 2009 documented.

Starting this month, some of the Kreative Team Members will be taking turns in producing a monthly design tutorial called "The Tenth Tute", covering different page design elements and how to make them work for your layouts. Tune in to the blog on the 10th for the first installment, looking at visual triangles.

There's plenty more in store for 2009, but I can't go reveal it all in one post... it's going to be a happy, scrappy year!

January Kreative Team Kit

January kit as you may have picked may have a hint of summer about it! With this bargain kit for just $20 I have done 2 LO's, 2 cards and an OTP to show you how much can be done with it.

Hope you all have a fabulous christmas and a safe and happy new year. Hope you all get lots of happy snaps to keep you scrapping in 2009.
