Farewell to FABULOUS 09

Well 2009 has been and gone in a FLASH and even though QTea has only been mine for half of 2009, I thought I would share some highlights from the year that was……. Let’s start the year with some eye candy – there was this gorgeous LO from Danielle using “Folklore Forest”:

and then February saw us fall in LOVE with this kit:

then the monkeys arrived in March

and this LO was pretty darn cute too:

We were as busy as honey bee’s in April:

then there was some sad news, but then some really GOOD news and you welcomed me with open arms: {thank you}

Danielle went out with a bang and SOLD out two versions of this kit

in May I revealed my FIRST kit:

…..we prepared for a fresh change and along came June, with another farewell we said a fond goodbye to these gorgeous and talented ladies:

and in the same breath welcomed these gorgeous girls

…we played with Flicka

We started a treasure hunt, and August saw us heading into the Boudoir

and we fell in love with this mini-book and all the gorgeous work the girls did with it;

In September we got a bit fruity

in October we did the fling, and we FINALLY found a Treasure Hunt winner!

November was SMURF-TASTIC

there were some cute Christmas Gifts and December was just magical!

….it’s been an action packed year, I loved every minute of putting the kits together, creating some new things and seeing what you clever girls create! Along the way I learned about limits and balance, about doing my paperwork every month (ahem) on time and I finally feel settled into Qtea. Thank you to every single one of you who have brought kits, got excited about sneak peeks and renewed your subscriptions.
It is your enthusiasm and love that keeps me going when things get crazy!
I am sooo excited about 2010 and I have so many wonderful things planned – hold onto your hats, it’s going to be an awesome ride!

Through the viewfinder layout =)

Hello! I had fun looking through the viewfinder and creating this layout!! Decided to do one of my family because it is such a rare shot! We had this photo taken on a family trip out to fly kites and i really love the photo =)



here, i folded the measuring tape into a bow and glued the nice vintage button in the middle. Also cluttered it with the slide holder and ticket stubs!! The lace dollies were split up and placed together too.



That's us! 4 of a kind!! =)

hugs, Merdrey

leap year layout

Here is my second layout using this month's 'through the view finder' kit..my eldest daughter was born on 29th February and I've highlighted the number 29 with a slide mount and added some hidden journaling under the bingo card about how special this is..


From the kit I've used the wooden vintage camera, slide frame, vintage laundry invoice, vintage lace button, spot ribbon and the beautiful vintage paper doily, which I've sprayed with glimmer mists and then torn off some little pieces to add around the page.
Thanks for stopping by

butterflies

Today was my first chance to dip into my through the viewfinder kit and play I did..

I've used: dressmakers tape, locker tag, b&w button, vintage film title letters, blue fabric (which I stamped the butterflies onto), and b&w ric rac.

I love the mix of bright embellies from the kit here..and I added a little extra colour with some glimmer mist and masked over the vintage letters in a couple of spots too.

Can't wait to play again tomorrow..thanks for visiting :)

Hi Everyone

Hi I must be the last of the new Qtea creative team members to come and say hi.
My name is Belinda and I too live in beautiful Tasmania. I have been into arts and crafts for as long as I can remember and not a day goes by that I am not getting my hands dirty with some new craft to try. I was introduced to scrapbooking through a birthday gift nearly 6 years ago and no matter what new craft takes my interest scrapbooking will always remain my favourite. I love that I can be creative and record my families lives in way that will last forever.

(an updated photo- I am now a redhead ;)

I want to thank Jodi for choosing me for the Qtea team and I have already had loads of fun creating with the January kit

Doll maker made using -decorated button, dress maker tape, vintage doily, wine label, ric rac, laundrey invoice, music paper. (mirror squares from Dec Qtea kit)


The way I see it book made using - film slide, vintage camera, black buttons, admit one coupon, blue stripe fabric, stamps, wine label, spotted ribbon and card board from packaging.

Hi Dee Ho Q-Tea’ers :)

 

I’m Sharmaine, also a Tasmanian :) I’ve been scrapbooking for about 4 years. I love to dabble in mixed media art and am hoping to do more Art journaling this year. I have been playing with Q Tea kits since they started with the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party kit. I love the change from ‘normal’ products but most of all I love that the Q Tea kit can be used by anyone in any scrappy style and mixed media.
I also received my Through The Viewfinder kit yesterday, yum!, and today I had a chance to play

The first thing I went goo over was the awesome laser cut wooden camera!!
OH MY!
I love!!!
The paper doily was the second thing that made me want to create ASAP
So I used both of these on my first page, along with the spot ribbon, coupon stamps (because I love yellow) and the film title letters
 

 

I used the doily as a mask, spraying over it with some Turquoise Glimmer Mist (another fave colour) and then doodled around the outline to make a journal spot
I also stitched on the lettering, tip: a normal machine needle will split these letters so stop the machine before you get to the side of a letter and lift the foot and move the page till the needle is back over the letter and resume stitching on the other side.

If you look closely you will see where the lettering is split and where I learnt this tip lol

The second thing I created was a wall hanger
I reused the doily adding it to some of the music paper, so the doily pops off the fabric a little.

I stitched the fabric onto the ‘keep the envelope stiff’ cardboard that comes with the kit and then stitched on the paper doily, bingo card, lettering and the house that I cut from the French wine label that was in my kit

 

I then added the black and white ric rac to hang it from.
I still have quite a few things left to play with, which is another reason I love Q Tea kits, SO MUCH to play with! Can’t wait to see what others create with the kit and don’t forget there is a Flickr group where you can upload your Q Tea creations, you can find it here :)

Hello :)

Hi all, thought it was about time I popped in here to introduce myself..I live in Tasmania and have been scrapping for about 3 years. My favourites things to use are colour and texture.

I usually find it hard to not play with paint and add some handstitching on my layouts...and of course adding some quirky embellishments such as those in the Qtea kits

My January Qtea kit arrived in the mail today and I just looove it! I can't wait to start playing with everything this weekend.

Thanks so much for this opportunity Jodi..I'm so happy to be working alongside the lovely

girls on the team and seeing their creations too.

Now for 5 randoms facts about me:

- hubby and I have been building our house for the last 17 years and still have a way to go!

- I dream of travelling to Canada and China

- my most creative time is very late at night

- I'm a coffee addict

- my favourite movie is 'Love Actually'

Thanks for visiting

Hello! =)

Hello! Thank you so much to Jodi for having me on the team =)

I have been scrapping since 2007 and have always been inspired by colours, texture and the memories/photos that i want to capture and remember. Home decor magazines are my favourite read and i love to include non-traditional scrapbooking materials in my layouts to add that fun differentiating factor! That why i fell in love with Qtea the first time i saw it! i was extremely happy to find a kit club commited to providing interesting little bits and pieces for my scrapbooking projects!

I was on the Qtea Creative Team from Jan 2008 to Jun 2009 and i must say that many of my favourite layouts are those done with the kits! You can view some of my work during my previous DT stint on my Flickr page. So excited to be back!!

Five FUN and totally random facts about me
- i hug my pound puppy to sleep every night
- my baptism name is Sarah!
- i'm a scrapbooking instructor with a LSS
- i love MILO! (the yummy chocolate drink)
- dreamie is my nickname on forums as that is what you get when you say merdrey many times continuously! alright...i think you will get dreamer....but dreamie is so much cuter! =)

hugs, Merdrey
