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.

Charoltte's Dream Cards

A few cards made from the lovely Charlotte's Dream Collection ... I just adore all the gloss varnish papers in this collection  especially the paper pad that is packed full of them! Also for the first time ever I actually cracked out the sewing machine and used it on some cards ... sewing just looks on ANYTHING!! LOL

Charoltte's Dream Masculine Layout

A bit more of a masculine layout this time, made again from the Charlotte's Dream collection. I must apologise for the poor quality of the photo here, I'm having issues with my camera and am currently negotiating with Nikon for a replacement, still not sure how that will work out, but in the mean time I'm stuck with these sub-standard photos!!

Anyway.... one of my fav. things about this LO is the background ... this is a piece of Gloss Varnish paper made by Kaisercraft and as you can see when you rub ink over the edges the gloss varnish patterns  resist the ink and creates this wonderful verigated colour effect on the normal paper ... it's a fabulous effect!! Smiles from Kel.

Charoltte's Dream Lay Out

My first Layout made using the beautiful new 'Charlotte's Dream' Collection from Kaisercraft ... how etherel these papers are ... very 'dreamy' indeed. The browns and pinks are perfect for heritage photos, but I was thrilled to see how well my baby photos also looked with this range ... perfect for my dainty little Abby! The collection very much was made to focus on Mothers Day with lots of die-cut words like 'mother', 'love' and 'forever' ... but it was very easy to cut off just enough to turn the word 'Mother' into 'her'! LOL

This collection reminds me a lot of the 'Sweet Nothings' paper range, which also has these divine subtle shades and patterns buried deep in their designs, the two collections will marry together perfectly I image ... that might need to be my next 'challenge'!!?

cheers from Kel.
