But Recently browsing through blogs I found one that filled me with inspiration - http://rachelleminett.blogspot.com/ . Rachelle has done some fantastic layouts and also does class kits too which can be found here - http://rachelleskitcreations.blogspot.com/ . After seeing the kits - I put together my wish list but unable to afford anything right now what with xmas, buying our first house and planning our wedding, I couldn't resist but to scraplift a LO called Laugh which you can see below -

Here's my take on the layout -

I used buttons for the hinges of my LO instead of brads as they were already packed and I got a bit carried away with the doodling but think it worked out well. The Actual Kit I used to pull of this Scraplift was the NSD kit (National Scrapbook Day) which I bought from Carolinez Craftz. http://www.carolinezcraftz.co.uk/catalog/index.php
I recently Joined an Austrailian Forum called Crafting In Style which can be found here - http://cisters.ning.com/ and today they had a On Christmas Day Class which had instructions on how to make a gift box and a christmas LO. I have saved my instructions but can't wait to have a go as the class looked fab. I will post Piccys when I complete the class, which I hope will be soon.
