Prima Design Team Application...

Hi All ... todays post is dedicated to my Prima Design Team Application ... I've used as many Prima products as I could to make several layouts, some tags , step cards and an awesome Beyond The Page Lantern project... I'm a tad picky about what design teams I apply for these days, but this is one I would be TICKLED to be a part of :)


Double Layout - Brads and Papers from Tales of You & Me, Flowers from the Lyric and Coffee Break Collections :)

Papers, chipboards and flowers from the Free Spirit Collection

This layout Below was made using the Lyric Collection and some odds and ends roped in from other Collections as well. The flowers are actually from the Coffee Break Collection

Tags made from the Tales of You & Me Chipboards

Step Cards made from the Tales of You & Me Collection

You can see how I make these quick and easy step cards by watching my 7min clip on Youtube ... just CLICK ON THIS LINK :) 

This Lantern is made of papers from the Tales of You & Me paper pad and flowers from the Coffee Break Collection ( and some extras I found in my stash )

Thanks so much for popping by for a look,

True Romance Layout

Greetings all ... Welcome to JUNE!! I'm kicking off the new month and the new collections by having a good play with the lovely True Romance Collection.

This is a beautiful girly collection full of soft and pretty pinks, lots of roses, butterflies and birds.

I'm not too sure about the romance side of things but I think this collection is PERFECT for my any of 4 beautiful daughters... it feels like the ultimate girly range!! LOL

On this layout I've just done the clustering thing ... bottom right and top left. This is common pattern for scrapbook pages, and sometimes you just can't walk past the golden oldies of design formulas.

I've done a lot of scribbling on this page as well ... in fact I'm doing a lot of scribbling on all my pages lately ... I must be going through a scribble phase.... besides all the warn fuzzy feelings I get from scribbling, I feel like real hero of this page is that title ... it came off the sticker sheet in whole word segments and I just love it... just this week the little girl in this picture ( who is 7) has been in hospital twice, once for n emergency appendectomy and once for a painful gaul stone attack! When I cout my blessings... I really do count her twice. 

Thanks for looking.

Porcelain Rose Cards

Hi all.... I'm back today with just a couple of cards from the Porcelain Rose Collection.

I'm still bumping along with my 'Love' theme here as I really need more cards for weddings/engagement etc as well as Romantic ones. 

Birthday ones come easy, but this kind are bit less common!

Anyway, as always I kept them quite simple but I'm still really enjoying working with these papers. I love all the soft pinks, and the collectables pack have  heaps of frames and journaling squares in it that are perfect for layering things up like on the card below.

Layering has certainly come into it's own element in the last few years and I must confess I could probably do with some more instruction on the technique myself.

The Brisbane Paper Craft Expo is coming up soon, I might book myself into a class or two there to gain some more experience in this area! LOL

Have a great day, Smiles from Kel.

Saturday Sketch #1 May 2013

 Todays Saturday Sketch is a busy one! I've used the Porcelain Rose Collection again this time.

I rarely do pages with this many photos on it and it was a bit of fun to put together this arrangement!!

I stuck with the busy theme and kept lots of movement on the page as well as keeping as closely to the original sketch as I could. I also gladly took up the journaling challenge ... I think it's important to do this kind of page every now and then, and really tell the story.

Anyway, this is the sketch it's all based on...

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Cheers from Kelly-ann.

Porcelain Rose Layout

Today I'm introducing the beautiful new Porcelain Rose Collection from Kaisercraft.

This is a divinely beautiful collection that is full of delightful bird images... this sort of thing is HUGELY popular at the moment all over the world in scrapbooking circles of course and I'm really happy to see Kaisercraft is quite able to follow suit! LOL

On this page I have used the speciality Die cut paper sheet as my main feature, and this this paper is nothing if not special!! Apart from the gorgeous frame the original paper has the gorgeous flowers and bird already printed on it and highlighted with rich gloss varnish  The music notes and other floral background images are also already printed on the paper.... how beautiful it is and how easy it was to work with. I basically just added the photo, a journaling pannel and some 3D flowers.

I love it when paper makes your job so easy because sometime when it comes to scrapping I just want to kick back and enjoy instead of working for every element on a page.

Thanks for popping by for a look.

Cheers from Kel.

            

Saturday Sketch #5 March 2013

For the sketch today I have used the Lulu and Roy Collection.

I really like the way this collection can be both masculine and feminine at the same time!!?

The sketch was an easy one to follow and the collectables pack in this range had LOADS of embellies to chose from so this page came together quite easily in the end.

when I look at this layout I realise all over again that photos REALLY DO look better presented in scrapbook pages ... this is why I love doing this hobby! LOL

Thanks for looking...

Lulu And Roy Cards

 

So here are my cards made from the Lulu and Roy Collection.

I love that this collection can be so feminine and soft and yet have so many blues and bold striking colours in it!! 

The cards were very easy to pull together with all the Quote panels that are included in this collection ... and lets face it, you can hardly go wrong with quotes from Marvin Gaye and the Beatles!!! LOL

This collection actually reminds me a lot of may Websters papers that are out there these days with the eclectic collection of flowers peeking in from the edges of pages... what ever formula Kaisercraft are using to come up with these new ranges, it is working... this collection is both beautiful to look at and beautiful to work with!

Saturday Sketch # 1 March 2013

For this sketch I have used the lovely Lulu and Roy Collection.

The sketch was simple and straight forward... 

And I decided to just run with the same format, focusing more on titles and text than embellishments.

The scalloped border you can see around the outside edge of my page is the new printed tape from Kaisercraft ( like washi tape).

I just love this stuff, its so easy to use and so very effective.

To finish off the whole page I covered the lot with the Lulu and Roy acetate sheet ... I just love the way the corner pictures ease themselves gently over both the page and photos!

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Lulu and Roy Layout

Today I'm thrilled to introduce the new Lulu and Roy Collection!

This is a beautiful, flowery, eclectic collection of papers that successfully combine pretty pastels with bold colours and patterns.

I found it to be so pretty and feminine ... on this layout I have mostly just used elements from the sticker sheet, although I did have a bit of fun stamping and inking the center background circle. I must be a little addicted to that doily mask as every time I tell myself to try a different mask I find myself reaching for this one AGAIN! I suppose we all have our favourite toys!! LOL

Besides these few things I have stamped and used organza ribbon and wood flourishes  on this page and thats about everything ... I was going for the simple yet effective look.

Thanks for stopping by for look.

Have a great day.

Cheers from Kel.

Flora Delight & Wood Flourishes

Well this last layout with the Flora Delight Collection was loads of fun to put together ... I've finally warmed to this bright and bold paper range!

I was really keen to get into the new wood flourishes that Kaisercraft have released recently ... my only problem? I was spoilt for choice!! LOL

 There are sooooo many wood flourishes to choose from now it's mind blowing! If you would like to wade through the PAGES AND PAGES of flourishes available from Kaisercraft then duck over to their site HERE and have a go at it ... pack a lunch and visit the little girls room first!!!

So mostly I just kept layering on this layout ... white ink first with the background masking, rub-ons next building up the flowers, then rows of grass and other flowers, the wood flourishes and finally butterflies... a few subtle ones and then the not-so-subtle big black ones ... that match my Daughters personality perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek at my work
