New Line in Store

I have a new range of Mini kits in store, these are smaller budget priced mini's they are selling for $2 each some even have a bonus coupon in them, if the mini matches a full sized page kit, you get a coupon to buy that kit for $2 less now how can you go wrong with that it gives you a chance to try the kit and if you like it you get in effect a refund for the mini by buying the page kit :)

From the KJoi Newsletter

You are about to meet one of our most talented designers here at K-Joi Studios. I am soo pleased and honoured to introduce to you Janette aka Dragons Lair Designs. Sit back and relax and get to know the lovely Janette.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q. How long have you been designing and how did you get into it?
A.I am from the UK. I am a divorced mu to two and a fur baby. I first started Digital Scrapbooking around 8 years ago. I had been in the PSP tag and tube arena on AOL for a few years and was fed up with all the red tape connected to it, so I went looking for something else and found digital scrapbookiing and the rest they say is history. LOL. I started out with layouts and then quickly moved onto designing page kits which I have now been doing for around 6 years. So as someone called me the other day seasoned in this area. LOL
Q. What other crafts do you do?

A. I have just started designing Digital Stamps for Cards and hope to actually make some soon.

Q. Do you have any personal CT? Please tell us who and how much you appreciate their work?

A. I don't have CT. I usually create my own, or share in the fabulous layouts fromt the CT here at K-Joi.

Q. The CT here at K_Joi are fabulous!! Is there any particular page you like and who did it?
A. There are so many great layouts in my gallery but this one really jumped out at me.
Terrista - Visit the gallery to see it here

Q. What is your favourite TV Show?
A. I am a huge Crime Show fan. I love all the CSI Shows, Cold Case, Law and Order etc But my all time fave is CSI MIami- Horatio Rocks!!

Q. What do you like to do in your spare time?

A. Spare Time!!! What is that??? LOL I don't have a great deal of that. I am usually running around after the kids, looking for a job (I was made redundant in June) or trying to clean up. LOL But when I do have any spare time I am usually at the PC either creating or doing some layouts.

Q. If you could name one thing you could not do with out when designing what would it be?

A. Filters Unlimited. I think it is soo useful to have it or the Machine Wash Filter.

Q. What is it that you like about K-Joi?

A. What is there not to love? Kara rocks!! I have known her for many years now and I love everything about her store. I used to spread myself thinly across four stores but these days I am Exclusive to K-Joi Studios and find it so much easier. The gang here are awesome!!

Q. Is there anything we can do to make things better here for you?

A. Do all the uploading and advertising and posting for me!! ROFL No only joking I cannot think of anything off the top of my head.

Q. Tell us a little about you and your family?

A. We live on the outskirts of Leeds West Yorkshire UK in an old mining area. Coal was big around here before all the pits shut. I divorced 9 years ago and now live with my son who is 18 this year and daughter who will be 13. We also have a fur baby who will be 9 this year. My son is at College Studying IT and my daughter is in the 2nd year of High School. I am looking for work as I said before and hopefully this recession won't last much longer and something will come along soon.

Q. Do you have any pets? If so what are they and what are their names?

A. One a cat named Holly.

Q.Describe your style and where do you get your inspiration?

A. Not sure I have a style and I usually start with a colour sampler or a photo and the kit just grows from that.
