Surprise! Jacque here again. (and don't freak out it's not Tuesday again already LOL) Actually we are a couple days late here with the holiday, work, life...you get the pic. But Kiki has another freebie for you. It's Septembers Desktop Calendar. I created it using Kiki's "It's not easy being Green Kit". I made a small color change because I wanted to represent the change from summer to fall. It is available in 2 sizes, 1280 X 1024 and widescreen. Both sizes should reduce equally to fit smaller screen resolutions. Also, when I create my own desktops I always leave the left side kind of open so it doesn't interfere with the icons, because this is where most people have them. Hope you enjoy it, and while your at it why don't you go pick up the kit. It's a nice, versatile kit with deep greens and blues perfect for any LO. Enjoy your week! (picture not included)

Gooooood Morning everyone, Kokonut Jacque here again. What a beautiful, fresh, bright Tuesday morning. Ahhh, nothing like it. Can you believe it's Tuesday again already. I swear it was just a couple of days ago. I bet you are wondering why all of a sudden I'm so happy in the morning. I'll let you in on a little secret if you promise not to tell. Shhhhhhhhh, remember, it's a secret! It's not really Tuesday morning. Hehehehe, it's Monday night. (Well technically, it is 1 am. so it is Tuesday morning) Thanks to our lovely Kokonut Janel, she showed me how to do the blog tonight and post it in the morning. Isn't she a doll. At the age of 44, you just are NEVER gonna get me to like mornings.

So, on to why we are here. Why to show off some more of our talented CT's. They have made some absolutely lovely LO's (of course it helps when you have Kiki's amazing kits). Make sure to send these ladies some love if you like their LO's, you can never have too much love.

And, of course of I've spoiled you so when you get done, you guessed it, a FREEBIE! And the Kokonuts are:

Hi everyone, Janel again with an update on our very first Saturday Scraplift Challenge. Our winner this past week was everyone!!! We had two entries and both were amazing. Kiki is so nice that she gave two gift certificates! I ran the random number generator and Vanessa won the GC to her choice of Kiki's stores and Teri won a GC to Plain Digital Wrapper!!! How fun for both of these ladies! Vanessa chose her GC for Sunshine Studio Scraps and this is what she had to say, "Thank you so much, the tan lines paper pack were on my wish list!!!!! I took the beach blanket paper pack as wel!! Thanks again! And I'll be checking your blog again!"

We certainly hope so!!

Hi, everyone! It's Janel here representing Kiki's Kokonuts and welcome to the Saturday Scraplift Challenge.

I was cruising the galleries earlier this week for a great scraplift candidate. I came across some layouts that were very similar in nature, so I decided to scraplift the concept! Melissa even chose some of them to feature in the Thursday post! Great minds think alike, huh?

and from melscrap


and here is my scraplift:

I did spend some time making and spacing out the 36 little 1 inch squares, so if you want to play along and don't want to spend all that time, I do have a .png file that has all the little squares laid out for you. You can download it here! Feel free to hide or erase some of the squares if they don't all work for you.

Ok, so here is what you need to do:
Upload your LO's to your favorite online gallery, come back and post the link in the comments for this post by Friday, September 5th at midnight EST. If you aren't comfortable with that, you may post your LO on your blog or your photobucket account instead. Just make sure you link us up! We will choose a LO (using the random number generator) to win a $5 gift certificate. Here is the best part, the winner picks which one of Kiki’s shops you want to spend it in. Can I get a woo hoo??!! Which will it be Plain Digital Wrapper, Scrapbook-Elements, or Sunshine Studio Scraps?

Get ready, get set....go scrap!

I will be back later with the winner from last weeks lift!

It's Thursday again, and that means it's time to show off some more layouts with Kiki's products. (All the images are clickable)
This page by GrannyNKy uses Kiki's Barely There paper pack.
Bexy used Sweet Life for this next page
Retro Jungle is the kit used for this layout by psy
and this one by dlynch
To finish off this week, a layout from melscrap using elements from Haute Pink, Tan Lines, Frosty Limeberry and Retro Jungle.
If you haven't done so yet, check out the Saturday Scraplift Challenge. You could be the lucky winner of a $5 GC to any one of Kiki's stores!

Well good morning everyone!! (Okay, yes it's morning but at least I'm in my p.j's.) Kokonut Jacque here again to bring you all the good juicy gossip on Kiki's scraps. (Sorry, Kiki just informed me that I'm NOT running a gossip column and to stick to scrapbooking!) Unfortunately for us, Kiki is out of town on work and her work laptop doesn't have Photoshop! Us scrappers can handle drought, hurricanes, global warming, but NOT the lack of Photoshop . This means no new products at them moment. Instead, I thought today we'd do a rewind. You know you have lots of Kiki's products already, but you also know there are so many more you are still dying to have. Maybe you forgot about some. So Kiki's Kokonuts are here to remind you what you are missing out on. And to say thanks for our patience, I have a QP freebie from Kiki's Fierce kit available at the bottom of the post. (No cheating now, you have to read everything to get the freebie!)

Fierce

Hi, everyone! Welcome to the Saturday Scraplift Challenge hosted by Kiki’s Kokonuts. I'm Janel, one of Kiki's Kokonuts! (Can I just say how excited I am to be a part of this amazingly talented team.)

As our very first scraplift challenge, I thought we should scraplift our fearless leader, Kiki! (She must be fearless, she has to deal with all of us, and I am pretty sure we're all nuts!)


and here is my scraplift of Kiki's LO:

Hi! Kiki’s Kokonut Melissa here with loads of eye candy using Kiki’s products.
First up, using Retro Jungle, is Attitude by jaye


Next is Nice, France by cityangel23, using Ethel’s Bathroom Wallpaper and Mayan Coast


Freak for Nature by LuvsMyFurBabies uses Fierce and Retro Jungle


silleshotsbycindy used Tan Lines, Funky Frame Thingies, Rough and Tumble alpha and Frosty Limeberry for her layout Show them that you love them


And last, but certainly not least is Eyes by reednowensmommy, using Earthy, Tan Lines and Blue Bayou papers

Well good morning everyone! Although it is 7:30 in the morning so how good can that be? Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm Jacque and I'm nuts!! (oops) I'm a Kokonut, yeah that's it :) . I'm one of Kiki's newest CT members and I'm here to do the first CT post. Let me tell you it feels a bit funny, like being in someones home while they are away and rearranging the furniture.

Now on to the important stuff. Have you seen Kiki's new paper packs? You havn't?? They are perfect for using in all sorts of layouts. The first one is Tan Lines. It is a wide assortment of nuetrals that will highlight any page. And if you are like me and like to dabble in design on your LO's, the lighter shades work great for that torn chipboard effect. (See LO below)



This one is Earthy. Such deep beautiful greens, great for any LO but I just image being in a forest in summer, or a park or playground. Warm and inviting. Both of these are available at SunshineStudioScraps.

Here is the 2 pager I did with both kits. They definately go well together, specially if you are doing a nature page. In case your wondering, (I know it's hard to see in the preview) those are pics of Cicadas. Yep, a bug!!! But this was a once in a lifetime shot of a Cicada coming out of his shedding. When I saw these papers, I knew they were PERFECT for this shot! I used both Earthy and Tan Lines as well as MumsHighTea, LeGrungeAlpha and Frosty Limeberry.This next LO was done by another Nut ;) Cindy. OMGosh, isn't her son just way too cute. Such a little man! And the LO is beautiful. Cindy used Earthy paper pack Tan Lines paper pack Rough and Tumble alpha Frosty Limeberry Morning's Grace. Other items include: tag & staple: mgl Scraps Crimson Gypsy school wordart: Christina Renee Vanilla Hush 4:AWork in Progress Summer Garden alpha Annie Manning Paint the Moon masks Krystal Hartley Paper Blox 2 freebie Gina Miller Doodled Frames

2cool4school

And a little something extra! We love those extras, don't we ladies? (and men) I created two freebies that coordinate with both kits. An alpha and some frames. Please take them and use them, and while you are at it, don't forget to check out Kiki's new items as well as all her items. You'll love them.

This kit is perfect for pictures of children having fun, beach activities and picnics. Bright summer days, and this kit, make for bright summer layouts. 12 textured 12X12 papers at 300 dpi, 4 acrylic stars, 2 twill ribbons, 2 ricrac ribbons, 1 paper flower, 1 frayed fabric flower, 1 glitter swirl, 1 journal cluster, 1 paper fern, 1 bow, 1 frame, 1 journal paper, 1 journal strip combo, 1 flower sticker, 1 stitched star frame, 1 stitched swirl.
