October GDT Reveal

Hiya Crazy Monday Fans!

Today we would like you to help us welcome our October GDT Terhi Koskinen!

Terhi Koskinen

Hello, My name is Terhi Koskinen and I live in Finland. I’m a mother of two beautiful girls, lovely wife, effective employee and passionate horse-rider – but most importantly I’m an addicted paper crafter with lots of inspiration.
Scrapbooking is more than a hobby for me, it’s a lifestyle – it’s starts with photograph session and ends when I get my creation where I wanted. And then it starts again.
My style is modern, fresh and simple. My creations have always lots of layers with different medias, matching colors, straight lines and touch of something shiny. Always lots of textures and something soft too, like my favorite thing thread.

I am more than grateful for this opportunity and I believe I can inspire you with my creations.

You are welcome to visit my blog (http://tellimaria.blogspot.fi)!

And here is Terhi’s first layout with our October Scrapbooking kit:

Thanks Terhi, Im really looking forward to seeing what else you create with our October kit. I’m loving all the purple in this page and how you have pulled the purple from your daughters jacket.

🙂 Joanne.

News

Hi Crazy Monday Fans!

Today I’m writing a post I was hoping to not having to write in a VERY long time. I have news. Disappointing and for me – heartbreaking – news.

The November Scrapbook Kit will be the LAST main scrapbooking kit from Crazy Monday Kits.

The Embellishment Kit will continue for now. More numbers might be added depending on interest. And the shop will still be open. New products will be added from time to time. But the MAIN KIT will finish with the November kit.

I have LOVED planning and making up the kits for the last 2 1/2 years. Absolutely LOVED it. And I think my subscribers have been happy with the kits. But the stress of the delays of deliveries, and not being able to give my customers the BEST service has taken a toll on me. And if I’m completely honest – I haven’t sold enough. Scrapbooking is a TOUGH business to be in!

I’d like to apologise to all my loyal subscribers, some of you have been with me since the very beginning! And to all the GDT’s in waiting – I’m sorry. I hope you get to share your talent elsewhere.

For any questions or comments, or to be put on the Embellishment wait list, please email me on crazymondaykits@gmail.com

Thank you!

Lizzy Hill – Sept GDT – Part 4

Hiya Crazy Monday Fans!

Today we are sharing Lizzys last creations with our September Scrapbooking kit and some stamps from her stash.

Lizzy has created three cards with the last pieces of her kit:

 

Not really much to say about these as they are pretty self-explanatory, except those Heidi S words are brill for cards…..the enamel dots add a bit of pop and the string is a lovely finishing touch to a card. I actually thought I was a bit clever using some of the pp that said ‘Yay’ & ‘explain’…worked well for a birthday! Similarly, the pp with the cute words on it make a nice card background.

And a few close-up shots:

 

Thank you for being our GDT Lizzy, we have loved seeing your work with our September scrapbooking kit and I hope you all have too!

🙂 Joanne.

Lizzy Hill – Sept GDT – Part 3

Hiya Crazy Monday Fans!

It’s time for another layout from our GDT Lizzy Hill using our September Scrapbooking kit.

Since I’ve done a baby boy, a girly girl…..I thought I’d do a Man page……..just to show you HOW versatile I found this kit to be.

As soon as I spied ‘The Good Life’ badge [& aren’t THEY the yummiest, largest, most delicious badges out???!!!]….I KNEW it had a home. So, my page got built around a badge! I wonder how yours get built?

Anyways, I decided since this was my 3^rd page, that I’d use up the bits of patterned paper by cutting them into strips. The card stock from the kit went perfectly with my photos – BONUS! So I randomly cut & placed the strips on my page, popped on my photo & knew I didn’t want to move a thing. But you know how you can NEVER get the papers exactly the same again? Sometimes I’ll take a photo as a guide. But my LOVELY DH [starring here!] actually got me a long arm stapler for my birthday. So I used that to attach the papers. Easy peasy!

Did you see the speech bubble I used for my journaling? Another one cut out of the patterned paper – worked a treat!

 

I LOVED the little clouds, & adding a fine black border made them ‘pop’ nicely. I like to extend them over the edges of my page, so I’ve cut one & used it on either side. The enamel dots added some interest, and once again, those Heidi Swapp words ended up being just what I wanted for the title. And of course, it all matched without me having to do a thing….that’s the beauty of these LOVELY Crazy Monday kits….happy scrapping – Lizzy ♥♥♥

 

Lizzy Hill – Sept GDT – Part 2

Hiya Crazy Monday Fans!

Today we would like to share our September GDT, Lizzy Hill’s, second layout made with our September kit.

I spied this LOVELY word paper, & thought it would work perfectly for this girl page…so I chopped them up & created a banner, once again using that lovely pliable paper string.

 

The journaling is also comes from the patterned paper. Since it had what looked like a pencil border around it, out came my pencil – added a few circles and arrow, & then I decided to journal in the pencil as well.

 

I ADORE those Heidi Swapp words in the kit. For the title I simply stapled one over some more of the string behind it. 

This page didn’t need anything else – the paper is quite busy, as is the photo collage. As they say, sometimes less is more!

 

Thanks Lizzy! Looking forward to the rest of your creations over the next few days.

🙂 Joanne.
