Upcoming my2angels Kits and Classes

Boys & their Toys (single layout kit)

With the Retreat out of the way, my fingers were itching to get back into creating. For our first Kit this month I got down and dirty in a green and grungy way. There's a bit of splishing and splashing on this one, along with some sizzling silver embossing. The vivid green of the mat really makes the photo pop - and for this reason I think the Kit works best with a black and white photo (a colour photo that includes some bright green would also look great).

Each Kit contains all the materials needed to complete the layout. Special inclusions are the bottles of home-made "mowed lawn" and "black soot" mists, as well as embossed/inka gold chipboard letters, acetate cog template, assorted chipboard, Gesso, silver charms and my2angels boy ribbon.

Kit cost is $30.00 plus postage ($7.20).

Suits 6x4 size landscape photo, though you could adjust the layout to suit a portrait photo.

From your own stash you will need some simple basic supplies: your usual adhesives, staples & stapler, plus a permanent black ink eg Stazon Jet Black.

Instructions will be emailed to you at the time the Kit is posted.

Green Brother (double layout)

Get all green and krafty with this double layout for boys (big or little). Time for a little stamping and misting fun on a 'simple yet effective' masculine layout. Like most boys, it's a little disorganised and a lot messy - and I promise, a whole heap of fun.

Each Kit contains all the materials needed to complete the layout. Special inclusions are the bottles of home-made "mowed lawn" and "vintage photo" mists, sample pot of Old Gold Ferro, as well as assorted chipboard, various elements for layering and bronze charms.

Suits 6x4 size landscape photo and a selection of smaller photos (for page 2); though you could adjust the layout to suit a portrait photo and/or other photo sizes. For the opposite page I used 2 "3x4" portrait photos and 1 "3x4"landscape photo.

Instructions will be emailed to you at the time the Kit is posted.

Kit cost is $37.95 plus postage ($7.20).

From your own stash you will need some basic supplies: your usual adhesives, a stapler (we will supply the brown staples to match the colour theme), brown ink (eg Pinecone or Jumbo Java) and a background texture stamp (I used Kaisercraft triangles).

Optional - sewing machine - if you want to stitch a border like I did. (You can cheat though and mark it in pen if you want.)

BONUS OFFER - purchase both masculine kits for $60 plus postage ($9.00).

Time for some summer fun. Shhh - I know it's only spring, but now's the time to get last summer's beach photos done before the kids have time to get to the beach for this summer's photos. See - there is method to my madness!!!!

Loads of creative technique fun with this layout. Learn to create your own 3-D sandcastle embellishment from a bit of spare cardboard. Splash around a bit of gesso here and there, layer in some mesh, mist it all over with some home-made Mist and pop on the odd water bubble or silver beach charm. Sun, sand and messy texture paste fun - what more could you want?

At $25.00 for the class - including all materials - you won't get a better way to spend your crafty day. We throw in the giggles and gossip for free. Just bring your usual adhesives and basic tools.
