I’m not so good at making themed kits. I know that, and generally I just make it a point not to make them. I have no birthdaykits, no Christmas, no Easterbunnies or Farmkits, and that’s perfectly ok with me. I don’t like the limitations kits like these give me. Granted, I have got a Winterkit and both a girls and boys kit, but those are different. There’s plenty of stuff you can make that falls under those categories, in those cases it’s rather just a color scheme I’m sticking to…

But this time I decided to take the leap. I had this paperpack I released over a year ago that was called Clownerie. It had nothing to do with clowns, the name just referred to the bright colors and funky patterns I had used, they reminded me of the bold costums clowns tend to wear. It never was a bestseller, and when I moved to Oscraps, I decided not to put it in the store anymore before I had made some elements to go with it. And there you had it, with a name like Clownerie, what else could I do than to make a kit about clowns?

Well, I’m telling you, never before has it taken me so long to finish a kit. A clowns kit needs clowns, that’s a given. And since I’m not so good at drawing, I decided to try making them out of clay. I discovered I wasn’t that bad at it and made 6 cute clowns I was very happy about. That was about 7 months ago. Then the clown project moved to my HD, I decided to wait until inspiration really hit me to finish it, at that point I was already extremely bothered by the limitations I thought this kit would give me (it’s all in the head, baby). Every now and then I made one or two goodies to go with it before I cursed it again, telling myself themed kits are just not my thing. Until one day earlier this month, I took the bull by its horns and finished it. And now that I have, I’m actually quite happy about it! So without no further ado, here it finally is: Clownerie!

Thank you for these pages girls! You rock!!

Like I told you in an earlier post, I’m a guest CT for MK Designs this month, and I’m really having a blast. She has some of the most amazing kits, and I’m having so much fun working with them!

Here is a page with ‘Just Himself‘, the first page I scrapped about my brother (isn’t he the cutest?)

 

And one of my favorite kits of her is ‘She is‘. The colors in this kit are gorgeous and it’s so full of yummy goodies! Here’s my page with it:

 

Another fabulous kit is ‘Zauberkarousel’. This kit has an addon so big, it’s actually like two kits you’re getting for the price of one!! Filled with gorgeous stuff, I’m telling you.

 

And next week another fantastic kit will hit her store: ‘Key to my Heart’. If you want a sneak peek, here are 2 pages I did with it:

 

 

And Madame Mim also has a wonderful new kit out! It’s called ‘Sleep Tight‘ and here is my page with it:

 

And I want to finish this post with another sneak peek. I’ve finished another kit, which will hit the store on Monday. All I can say is that it’s one of my favorites so far!! Be sure to watch out for the Oscraps newsletter (or visit me again here on Monday) for another coupon. Here is a page I did with my new kit ‘Cherish Happiness’:

 

 

See you on Monday, have a fabulous weekend!!
