Secret Admirer Cards

Oh My Gosh ... I'm LOVIN the new Square cards from Kaisercraft! 

Here I have used the Secret Admirer Collection to make a set of 6 cards and oh the joy of making them ... I have always struggled with card making a bit, but I never imagined it was a conceptual and spacial issue!! I have always been first and formost a scrapbooker who turned her hand to cards, hence the struggle, but with these new square cards my brain just sees a little scrapbook page ... no worries, no more wondering how to fit all in or anything... just card making bliss! LOL

Now I still didn't get too creative with these cards, they reamin pretty simple in truth, but I love them  because they feel complete and balance to me now!

The Secret Admirer Collection is so bright and beautiful, very feminine and flowery, if you are into this kind of thing you are going to LOVE this collection!

Cheers from Kel.

Sat. Sketch #3 Dec 2012

Todays Saturday sketch was loads of fun, I've used the gorgeous new Secret Admirer Collection which is sure to be a favourite with many... it's so bright and beautiful!! 

I chose it to do my photos on this paper because I was keen to try a water page that didn't follow the traditional blue watery theme... I was really happy with how it worked out in the end with all the gorgeous clusters of flowers.

I've also used Droplets on this page ... I LOVE DROPLETS, but you never see them in scrapbooking anymore ... why is that? They are a most awesome embellishment... they are gender neutral, 3D, translucent ... so many wonderful qualities in one small dot ... I hope they make a come back soon, I would love to see more of them about the place!

Anyway, below you will find the sketch that this layout was based on.

Thanks for popping by for a look.

Cheers from Kel.

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.
