Saturday Sketch #3 April 2013

Today I have used the gorgeous Needle and Thread Collection for the Saturday Sketch.

I just love this beautiful collection ... although surprisingly it hasn't sold that well in the shop! I'm sure it must be the economic downturn ... as this collection is so lovely I can't see any other reason why it might be over looked!!? In any case it has caught my full attention ... I just adore it and had loads of fun making this layout.

The sketch was easy to follow and generous in its boundaries  leaving lots of room to play with... just my kind of sketch!! LOL

Here is the original Sketch from Kaisercraft....

Thanks for stopping by for a look ... feel free to leave a comment ... there must be someone out there with a comment besides my million spammer friends!! LOL

Cheers from Kelly-ann.

Needle and Thread Cards

Hi There, I'm back today with more from the Needle and Thread Collection.

This time I have made some feminine birthday cards ... and what a fun collection this has turned out to be for making ladies cards! Once again the sewing theme came in very handy when it came to embellishing. Stitching and safety pins played a major role again for me with these cards, just as they did on my previous layout. 

The best thing about this collection is that I know several older ladies that these kind of cards would suit perfectly and quite tickle them actually... it's my mums generation that really did sew all our clothes when I was younger, sitting for hours on end with nanna, they were always making or repairing something!

In any case these cards were again a breeze to put together with all the lovely elements in the collectables pack.

It does make me wonder though...

in 40 years when collections are being released to suit my generation, what will they consist of?

I hate to admit it but I'm thinking it will need to be all credit cards, sale tickets and gift vouchers... we dont really sew any more ... we shop!! LOL

When I think of getting clothes for my kids I think of all the items above plus caring loads of those paper shopper bags about, dockets, coffees to keep me going, and shopping trollies.

I cant wait to see how they will pull off that collection!!! he he he

Great to chatting ... have a awesome day,

Smiles from Kel.

Needle and Thread Layout

What a joy it is to be showing you this latest layout using the Needle and Thread Collection.

This is such a beautiful and girly collection that I'm over the moon about getting my hands on it! 

The first thing I did for this page was to dig out all my really special 'girly moment' photos.... with 4 daughters this was an easy task as I literally take hundreds of photos a year that would match this description!! LOL

I figured the more girly the better, so I grabbed this one and got to work and how precious the papers turned out be in this collection .... the lace vintage lace perfectly balances out the bright bold colours in the flowers of this range.

Of course the whole 'needle and thread' theme made the page a breeze to embellish as well with all manner of stitching and sewing easily incorporated ... even a few safety pins fit well in the mix.

And lastly, just to compliment the many sparking crown jewels in my photo I also added some bling

In the end this layout was simple and easy to put together and I loved how it turned out. I cant wait to get into more layouts with this lovely new collection.

Thanks for stopping by....

Cheers from Kelly-ann.
