Class with Melissa Kennedy...

While I was down in Melbourne last month I had the privilege of doing a class with the fabulous Melissa Kennedy from Kaisercraft and this is the layout we created with the Sears & Son Collection.

I came home with most of it finished and then added a few bits and pieces as I tend to do ... like the acetate clocks - they were a add in after the fact!

This new mens range is really earthy and gentle, it's great to play with and will suit and kind of vintage or heritage themes a person might want to work with.

On a personal note ... I can fully vouch that the handsome man in these photos really is the greatest dad ever!! LOL

Have a great day.

Attitude Cards

 I'm back with more Attitude! 

Once again I've used many of my best 'boy tricks' on these cards made from the Attitude collection ... buttons, stitching, string, arrows ... I didn't go too over board here as I think guys prefer simple to tizzy so these cards remained nice and clean!

This collection certainly helped making guys cards a bit easier...

thanks for looking, Smiles from Kel.

Saturday Sketch #4 July 2012

So I just couldn't making this layout using the last bits of my Attitude kit ... I was dying to use this acetate over lay on SOMETHING!! LOL  

The Acetate sheet made making this page INSANELY easy ... everything underneath is flat and simple, but with the over lay it just really pops. 

Kaisercraft have a few of these 12x12 Acetate sheets... I haven't used them much in the past but I'm planning to change that in the future!!

So this is the sketch that the LO was based on ... tipped the right once...

As a mother of 6 this saying has got to be my all time favourite!!! LOL

A Layout with Attitude...

Today I have another layout made using the fun and grungy 'Attitude' collection from Kaisercraft. This layout is a bit of a second page to my previous layout using this range. Again this was really easy to pull together, these papers just take all the guess work of coordinating!! LOL

 I'm still having a little addiction to string and safety pins which work wonderfully with all things boy! It's good to have these tools in my bag-of-scrapbook-tricks that I can pull out when needed. In fact when faced with male layouts of any kind I find myself starting with all the same basics .... buttons, wood flourishes, stars, string, grunge stamps, safety pins, bugs and circles. For feminine pages I always reach for butterflies, pearls, flowers and masks.

What formulas do you use for your scrapping?
