Sat. Sketch #4 Nov. 2012

Well I LOVED the sketch this week over at the Kaisercraft Blog! 

I have used the Miss Match Collection to attempt to replicate this sketch with my own flavour mixed in. I think it is the round element that captures me so much about this sketch ... I just adore round elements on any page! LOL

I've also added a few resin flowers, paper blooms and a wood flourish bird, but everything else on this page pretty much came out of the Miss Match paper collection be they collectables, stickers or paper pad elements. I did finish it all off with a pearl flourish and some rhinestones scattered about the place, but all in all this page came together satisfyingly quickly and easily.... if only all pages were the same!

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Cheers from Kelly-ann.

Saturday Sketch #3 July 2012

Oh my gosh I found this sketch a challenge ... 4 photos on one single!!! I've used the Miss Match paper collection for this layout, I certainly didn't need much more as the page was mostly taken up by the photos. I couldn't resist the shrinky dinks though for the tea pot and cup!

And here is the sketch that it's based on...

Miss Match Cards

This set of Miss Match Cards all came from one piece of paper ... a couple of embellishments added for effect and they came together quickly and easily in the end... I thought this collection was kind of strange in the beginning with all the variety of patterns and colours, but now I'm really enjoying the challenge of mixing them up and working with them. 

Thanks for dropping to look...

One More Miss Match Layout

This was the first Layout I did using the lovely Miss Match Collection, and it remains my favourite... I love that it is all flowery and girly without being overpoweringly pink ... I'm a HUGE fan of the deep peach colours in this collection. As you can see I also had a bit of an uncontrolable moment with pearl embellishments ... nothing quite beats the look of a nice pearl flourish! LOL 

Anyway, this LO is mostly built on layering, you can see the foreground consists of the girl on the swing and all the wood flourishes, next the stamped border contains all the background layers. This is a great technique for getting lots of beautiful papers into one layout... I encourage people to give it try!

Thanks for visiting... smiles from Kel.

Saturday Sketch #1 July 2012

I have used the lovely 'Miss Match' collection to create my layout for this weeks Saturday Sketch over at the Kaisercraft Blog... I never used to like banners, but I'm really warming to them now!! LOL I've  also used kaisercraft buttons and the butterfly stamps from the Tigerlilly collection.

And here is the sketch it was based on...

Miss Match Layout

Introducing the new 'Miss Match' collection from Kaisercraft. This collection is very well named ... the papers in this layout are the most flowery pinks I could find in this range, but there are also loads of greens, mustards and blues in this collection too ... quite the 'Miss Match' indeed! 

This collection is also choc-a-block full of cute embellishments like the bingo cards you can see tucked in here and there on the layout. The main flower is one of the beautiful pink country garden roses from Manor House Creations and finally you can also see I've used my new favourite wood flourishes ... the small hinges ... how cute are these little guys!! LOL

Thanks for dropping by for a look.

From Screen 2 Scrap June Challenge

Well It's been a couple of months but I thought I would have another crack at the monthly challenge over at From Screen 2 Scrap .... and here it is! 

So here is the movie inspiration for my Layout:

So the challenge is to create a layout based on this movie poster and using the following criteria...

1 point – multicolours

2 points – hair related photos

3 points – 10 squares

As you can see I have actually managed to squeeze on 11 squares ( some are behind the title) and SIX photos!!! Oh my .... just saying it makes my head light!!! I'm sooooo used to parading only one photo on a page that putting 6 on there left me somewhat at a loss as to what to do next!? LOL

These photos were taken at a 60's dance party ... check out the gel in the boys hair! They loved it and were addicted to hair gel after that!

The girls don't have any special hair do's though ... they are girls ... I was lucky to get them to even wear those dresses as they all match and if there is one thing little girls like to do, it's stand out ... NOT look like everyone else! LOL

Anyway, this was a really fun layout to do and it gives you a sneak peak at one of next months new paper collections from Kaisercraft ... the 'Miss Match' collection lives up to it's name for sure, but is fun and funky all the same and these gorgeous polaroid frames come in an embellishment pack that go with the collection.

Thanks for dropping by for a look.
