Ok I decided to experiment tonight with a bit of imaginative chroma key style photography.
Now I know that I need more light (these were taken in my liveingroom tonight with only the normal light and my built in flash for lighting)
The blue background is some cloth I aquired I think i also should of weighed it down to keep the uneveness down. (it was suspended by curtain rail)

I know these are far from brilliant but does anyone else have any comments or suggestions to kick me in the right direction?

I think you need to feather the edges around the girl and a backlight would help give a greater sense of separation from the backgound.
