Fika: Swedish for taking a break with tea or coffee and something sweet.

We celebrated Fika at kikki.K recently with a fun morning tea to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

Staff brought along their favourite baked goodies and we auctioned off a stunning photo from one of our talented photographers with all proceeds going to the Cancer Council.

To capture beautiful memories and delicious recipes we created a photo book which serves as a beautiful keepsake for everyone who was part of the fun morning.

Featuring scrumptious imagery of the treats on offer, recipes are included next to stand out items so if anyone wants to re-create that Malteser Cheesecake, they can simply turn to the right page.

We designed this gorgeous photo album in a medium portrait size with a hard, matte cover.

We kept the design simple, letting the pictures do the talking and only adding in recipes in stylish grey, Futura font.

Tip: Add in unique elements such as a stylish contents page explaining your digital photo album, and mix up the layouts on different pages. The colourful display of the whole morning tea spread looks perfect over two pages, while portrait photos look great on separate pages.

Visit our kikki.K blog here to find some of the delicious recipes and create your own digital keepsake for the special events in your life.

Jen and her family are travelling back to Sweden this year to visit her home town and the friends and relatives that still live there. Jen thought a family photo album would be the perfect gift to show friends and family what they’d been up to in Australia.

Jen created an Annual Kid’s Photobook featuring photos of her gorgeous children, Hanna and Jonas and their memorable moments over the past 18 months.

The digital photo album included photos celebrating Hanna’s 4th birthday and Jonas turning 2.

Jen took most of the photos on her iphone, and used the gorgeous new Forest Friends Collection in the editor to add the finishing touches to her beautiful family photobook.

She also added in text descriptors in classic red, so family looking through the gift photobook knew where each photo took place.

This kids photo album is the perfect gift to fill in family and friends on the special moments in your life and your children’s lives. It’s a gorgeous gift, that they’ll love looking back on with each new year.

We're so excited to be an Official Product Partner for the 2012 L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF). There's always so much photographic inspiration during the festival, it's hard not to embrace the buzz. We love this idea of putting together a Fashion Journal Photobook.

The hard-cover, medium, square Photobook looks so professional with a stunning close-up photo of cute clogs on the cover. Included are details about what each day involved; a trip to the markets, or tickets to an LMFF Runway Show along with details of what clothes were worn and accessories used.

The simple and elegant book used Futura Light font and kept scrapbooking elements to a minimum, adding fun details with love hearts from the Sundae range and flags from the Basics range.

A stylish addition is the title page, 365 Days of Style, and the banner sticker on the back of the book with Anna Wintour's famous and inspiring quote.

Such a beautiful representation of a year in your world of fashion. Create your own Fashion Journal today.

As a farewell gift for gorgeous friends heading back home to France to live, Claire made Sonia and Fred a photo book of Australian memories. The medium square, grey linen covered book featured photos from special times spent together over the years.

Claire used a combination of design themes from the Sketch, Sweet Heart and Basics collection. Digital stickers and stamps were used throughout, along with page backgrounds and text boxes.

The book is a celebration of friendship that will be a keepsake for many years to come. Farewell Sonia and Fred! We hope to see you again soon. x

Family holidays are often our favourite childhood memories, even from a young age. Jen and her family travelled to northern Queensland for some fun in the sun, and captured some precious moments with her kids. She's produced a small photobook of some special times to share with family members at Christmas.

Jen took all the photos in this book on her iPhone, which have worked well in this small 15x15 square photo book format. She choose a hard photo cover, embellished with the Sketch theme background.

She also didn't forget the back cover - a small and cute detail!

To celebrate the first year on the job, the marketing team at kikki.K put together a gift photo book, complete with love notes, inspiring quotes, special photos and even a hand drawn illustration for one of it's team members.

The book was designed in a small square soft photocover format and included scanned drawings, full doubled spread photos and favourite recipes.

The thoughtful notes written by each team member were funny, insightful and moving.

The book celebrated achievements and special moments the team had experienced and shared together. Including going to Pump Class!

Favourite quotes serve as a reminder of the team spirit and respect for each other.

Presenting the book at a special morning tea complete with flowers and special baked treats gave rise to a few tears of joy and appreciation.  Happy 1st year anniversary!

Joyce loves sweets, photography, Christmas and her family. For Christmas she combined all of these loves to create a Sweet Treats Recipe book as her Christmas gift to her family.

Using the small square format, Joyce set the book up with a family dedication, contents page and page numbers. She ordered several copies of the book to give to delighted family in New Zealand.

Joyce had been planning the book for a little while before Christmas, giving herself some time to not only make and photograph all the recipes in the book, but style them with Christmas accessories and decorations.

Sticking to a consistent use of fonts, colours and layout gives Joyce's book a very professional and polished look.

Because Joyce was planning on ordering several copies of her book, she ordered one copy of the book first to ensure she was completely happy with the layout and alignment of her photos and text.

We think the result is good enough to eat!

Kylie created this elegantly simple 2012 Desk Calendar for her family as Christmas gifts this season. As a working mum finding Christmas gifts that are unique, useful and touching is always a challenge. Kylie followed a very simple design layout, sticking to one hero photo on a page, mixing black and white photos with closeup full colour shots.

'I loved the fact that I could create it once, and easily order enough copies for both sides of my family with a few clicks' she explained.

'When I received the calendars, I also really loved the thick matte paper the calendars were printed on. It's a really beautiful feature of these products' she said.

Kelly designed this gorgeous photobook of her wedding which took place earlier this year by the sea. The photo book is a beautiful representation of all the memorable moments of their special day, which she gifted to her parents as a reminder of the day.

In a medium size, square format, Kelly chose to keep her photobook simple and stylish through keeping with the beach theme and choosing colours such as blue and white that enhanced the theme. The photos stood out with classic white borders or backgrounds.

As a stunning feature, she added in white text such as their vows, striking against a blue background. These simple features added a very special touch and the photobook is a beautiful keepsake that they’ll treasure for years. Love your work Kelly!
