No Internet!

Dear everyone, I am so sorry but I lost my internet several weeks ago. My in-laws misplaced my bill and I thought I had more time to get my minimum payment in. I am hoping to be back asap, but money is really tight right now.
To the CTs I am on, I would love to continue being on your teams, but understand if you need to replace me.
To the stores I sell at, I would love to stay, but again understand if you need to remove me.

I am hoping I am not gone for more than a month, but right now to turn my internet and phone back on I need to come up with close to $600.

I will try and check here every so often when I come to visit my husband's cousin and you can reach me at emails newkinda@newkindalove.com or karine@real-mommies.net.

New Kaklei Layouts and challenge layouts

Kaklei has an amazing new kit available in the CSD Store called Natural Surprise. Below are some of the layouts I created using this amazing kit. Stop on over, check out her newest kit as well as past kits. Also to see other layouts people have made using her kits visit her section in the CSD Gallery~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have also done a few more challenges, one being over at OScraps. These were all for Joanne Brisebois' Spotlight Challenge. The rules were;
1) Draw a connection between the past and the present: Someone you know today (it could be you) may share a personality trait, skill, physical feature, experience or event that connects you/them to someone from the past. Use two photos - one from the past and one from the present - in your layout (feel free to add more photos). 2) Draw a connection within the present: Two people you know today (it could be you) who share a personality trait, skill, physical feature, experience, event or even a unique bond. Use two photos - both from the present - in your layout (feel free to add more photos).

I won a $25 gift certificate for having the most entries into this contest, as well as a $2 certificate just for playing along. These were done using Joanne Brisebois' Just a Good Old Fashioned Heritage Scrapbooking Kit & Addon.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next are some challenges from CSD.

This was done for the Colorize It Challenge, a Grayscale mini-kit was provided by Twin Mom Scraps and we had to pick a color scheme and re-color and create a layout.

Cool Motto Challenge hosted by Kaklei using her Unexpected Friendships Mini Add-On and using the motto "Finger Lickin' Good" from KFC some where on it.

June 09 Colour Challenge @ Inspiration Lane

So I recently joined Inspiration Lane because it looked like they had some awesome challenges. This most recent one was to use the palette to design a mini-kit, paper pack or layout. I went ahead and designed a paper pack titled Tropical Paradise. It is a freebie for everyone, personal use only. Click preview to download.
I also created a layout using the pack, which you can see below.
