Sat. Sketch #2 Oct 2012

This week I have used the Periwinkle Collection for the Saturday Sketch comp over at the 

Kaisercraft Blog. 

This was a hard one for me ... being round ... I don't usually stray too far from the 12 x 12 format, so I kind of couldn't help myself popping the circle back into the normal page context! LOL

I'm still loving the ballons and birds that are abounding in scrapbooking at the moment and can't help sticking a bird on pretty much every page I ever do at the moment!

This photo is an old family one that I used because of the orange tones that suited these papers so well.. I'm really enjoying the Periwinkle collection and the Australian Scrapbook Ideas magazine recently picked up one of my layouts for publishing using this collection also ... so YAY for Periwinkle!!

Thanks for looking...

Cheers from Kel.

Sat. Sketch #3 Sep. 2012

For this weeks Saturday Sketch I have used the beautiful new Turtle Dove Collection... How divine these rich traditional colours are... this particular collection embodies everything I love about Christmas. It has a bit of the modern mixed with a touch of the traditional English Christmas. 

For this layout I knew I was going to have to make something a bit special as this photo of my little one is soooo bad ... its a bit fuzzy, the top of her head is missing and the flash has over exposed the whole thing ... but I LOVED this photo, I remember how fascinated my little girl was with the angles on the Christmas tree, so I was determined to use it!

 I call this technique

 'Making a Mountain out of a Molehill'! 

My theory here is that it doesn't matter how bad your original photo is if you build the feel of the theme you are presenting with your layout then then the photo will look fabulous anyway....

I'll let you know how that theory works out LOL...

Have a great weekend

This is the Sketch the layout was based on.

 

       

Mint Twist Cards

Well today I'm back with more Christmas cards ... this time made from the Mint Twist Collection These are very basic cards that were quick and easy to put together ( Just the way Christmas cards should be!!) using the Paper Pad and the Collectables from this fun collection. Of course I added the obligatory Christmas Bling and some ribbons here and there, but mostly the papers and collectables did all the work for me! LOL

I hope you have been gearing up for the up and coming silly season... I'm thrilled to have made over 20 cards already and feeling like I'll actually be organised this year! 

Have a great day, smiles from Kel.

       

Saturday Sketch #2 July 2012

This week I have used the Chapter One Collection for my sketch interpretation ... this is an older collection but a classic none the less! And Kaisercraft are about to release a whole pack of gorgeous coordinating collectables that will be sure to breath new life into this bright and beautiful  collection. 

In this layout I have teamed up the Chapter One papers and collectables with some black rhinestones and a cute little chicken wire mask. 

I didn't follow the sketch 100% as all the little squares were a bit bulky for my imagination, so I just sliped in an other flourish instead!...old habits die hard I guess!! LOL.

Here's the sketch it's based on...

 Thanks for dropping by for a look! Smiles from Kel.

Charlotte's Dream & Wood Flourishes

I couldn't resist doing one more layout with the beautiful Charlotte's Dream Paper collection ... this time I also used some of the lovely wood flourishes that Kaisercraft are becoming famous for, a bit of stitching, stamping and a few stickers and here we are. Oh how this photo makes me laugh ... how young I was once!! Another thing that makes me laugh with this layout is the distinct missing 'r' from the word formal ... this is sooooo typical of me, I charge straight into it and completely miss important bits of the process ... usually I fix everything before I photograph or blog, but this one I didn't want to ... this one felt more honestly like me! LOL

Cheers from Kel.

Saturday Sketch #1 April 2012

Another Kaisercraft Saturday Sketch ... this time I've used the super cute Lil' Primrose paper collection and some of the gorgeous Kaisercraft gross grain ribbon, there's also a bit of bling in there, but the multiple boarders ment that I didn't really need to do much more embellishing beyond what the sketch suggested. And here is the sketch....

You can enter any of the Saturday Sketches that Kaisercraft run per month and you will have all month to put any ( or all ) of the layouts together ... click HERE if you would like to see the post for this Sat. Sketch, or click HERE to be taken to their main Blog. Go on give it a go ... smiles from Kel.

Kaisercraft March Sketch #5

Ok so I couldn't resist entering one more sketch ... in fact I think I'll do them every Saturday as I enjoy the challenge so much! LOL.  This is the sketch I based the layout on, but I turned it once to the right...

For this layout I used a mixture of papers from the 'Great Southern Land' and 'Tigerlilly' collection, KC blooms and some 'Gypsy Sisters' Rub-on. And of course Bling ... more bling than you can poke a stick at!! LOL

Technologic Layout

My first layout made using the Technologic paper collection .... how fun are these papers?? I personally really like them as they are full of stripes, shapes, patterns and bright colours ... all my favourite things  for boy pages. And for those who can't read the shirt, it says:

 "I do all my own stunts!"

Airy Fariy

How sweet are these photos of little Lilly, and how gorgeous are these new Fairy papers from Kaisercraft!!? I couldn't resist poping this LO together!!

Star Designer Album By Pam.

This georgeous Star Designer Album was created by PAM from Kyogle ....lot's of GREAT stuff coming out of Kyogle eh! She has used a mixture of papers, but mostly what you can see there is paper from the Kaisercrafts 'Superhero' range. The Star designer album sells for only $6.95 and is the perfect Album for a boy.GREAT work Pam ...can't wait to see more!

Fairy Castle By Bec

This AMAZING Kaisercraft Fairy Castle Album was created by Rebecca from Kyogle. Pretty much all the emblishments in it are from Kaisercraft also. The paper range she used is the 'Imagine' collection .Wow Bec .... it's just Awesome!
You can purchase the Fairy Castle Album for only $6.95!

IT'S ALL ABOUT ME

The title pretty much sums this one up ...another Kaisercraft blitz!!

ADORABLE

This is a double page layout I did of my daughter preforming in a school dance .... I'm not a huge fan of this extreem green paper, but I was thrilled with how the whole thing turned out in the end. Once more it's made almost entirely from Kaisercraft products. I will be adding journaling on the bottom of the right hand side page eventually.....
Oct update: I did add journaling and this layout won second place in the Casino Aggricultural Show scrapbooking comp.
