Happy Easter with Happy Snaps!

This is an Easter project I made using the new Happy Snaps Collection .... 

It started out life as an empty chip tube...

And was then decorated with the Happy Snaps Collection from Kaisercraft.

BTP with Limelight and Blubelle

This gorgeous cupboard  is a jewellery hanger I made for my daughter from the Limelight collection.

This Kaisercraft cake stand was decorated with papers from the new Blubelle Collection.

Kaisercraft Wishing Well

Today I wanted to share with you a project I put together for my Kaisercraft Design Team application last year ... I actually got my dates mixed up and missed the cut off for the applications [Rolls eyes in self disgust] so this never actually made it anywhere as far being seen goes, so I wanted to share it here.

So I've used the Kaisercraft Wishing Well as well as a host of other wood embellishments to create a little garden around the wishing well.

The chipboard pieces are all pretty obvious, most of the bushy bits are the green paper flowers folded into quarters and the stone fence is just plain card stock that has been embossed with a circle pattern and inked over. this would look even better if you had a stone or brick embossing folder!

A proliferation of flowers over every thing pulls the whole thing together, as well as little touches like butterflies, lady bugs and rhinestones on the well that look like water droplets.

It was so much fun to make this little wishing well wonderland ... I can see why people get totally pulled into the world of modle making!! LOL

Thanks for looking...

Dusty Attic marries Kaisercraft!!

So I think my post title sums it all up nicely for this project... today I have blended the Kaisercraft BTP photo display with delicate chipboard pieces and flowers from Dusty Attic to create this staggered 4 stage photo display frame set.

I have embossed all the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces with purple Opals ( a divine embossing crystal made by Pipe Dream Inks) and pretty much stuck everything on so that it looked like it was just sitting on the edge of all the photos.

I love these photos of my little Daisy with her favourite teddy bear, and i didn't want them to be over powered by embellishments ... In the end I think I did mange to create a light and unobtrusive set of embellishments for this project that dont take away from the main photos but stil create interest in the photo frame set itself. I must say I'm quite happy with how it all worked out.

Below you will find photos of the frame set as I take each layer away to reveal the frames behind. I must say, this little project is an AWESOME way to gets lots of photos in one small area!

And thus ends my Dusty Attic aventures, I do love their products but find them a tad expensive here in Australia, so it's back to my faithful Kaisercraft products again from now on!

Have a great day...

Smiles from Kel.

Merry Christmas

.........***Merry Christmas one and all**........

What a wonderful day ... you should see my house ... its COVERED in wrapping paper and food! LOL ....This is where the rubber really hits the road when it comes to having 6 children!! 

After a morning of complete chaos and mayhem the house has settled into a quite sugar fueled hum ... with all the kids happily giving all their attention to their new toys and gadgets leaving me in relative peace to play on my computer!!

I thought today I would share a personal favourite of my photos from this wonderful silly season now it is almost behind us... the photo above was taken at the beginning of December as we all decorated the tree ( a tradition on our family for the 1st of December) ... it tells the story of our family perfectly....

The first thing I notice in this photo is my missing daughter .... where has that stereo-typical teenager gone? She is completely full of teenage angst now at all of 13 years old... complaining long and loud most of the time at the injustice of having to deal with her hair!!!!??? I tried pointing out that in many countries 13 year old girls are married off even sold off and that maybe the style of her hair isn't that big a thing after all... she rolled her eyes dramatically and disappeared in the dungeon that is her bedroom!!!

The next thing that really jumps out at me from this photo is the complete 

'I'm here under duress' look 

that my 14 year old son is giving the camera .... he so makes me laugh at the moment ... he wears that look all the time, unless he is playing the playstation ... apparently that is the only place he is NOT under duress!!

 He is so cute... caught in between being a child and becoming a man ... he will still watch a movie with us and when the man and woman kiss in the final scene he will stand up and declare 

'well that just ruined a perfectly good movie!!' 

Bhahahahahaahaha ... I quite like the fact that he still doesn't like the idea of kissing girls ... I'll let you know how long that lasts!! LOL

Of course the next most noticeable feature of this photo is the almost naked 3 year old posing in the front ... oh if only I could get that child to wear clothes ... here in the world of an Australian summer, its a princess dress or nothing thank you very much!! Lucky I brought her a princess dress for Christmas... so she does have clothes on in our family Christmas photos!!

The next 3 children are just the right ages to be truly excited about Christmas still, their enthusiasm is evident on all their faces ... they have been right into the Christmas countdown this last month, always changing the numbers on the Countdown calendar and checking the boxes of the advent calendar for treats each day ... they make this season a pleasure!!

And finally of course there is my dutiful husband who is graciously posing with the kids, even though he would rather gnor his own arm off than hang Christmas decorations!! He married a scrapbooker and has finally accepted that it is an easier corse of action to accept the directions to pose for the picture than to fight the avalanche of photos that will processed these instructions if he resists in any way!! LOL Smart Man xoxo

But I can't let a Christmas post go by without sharing one little project .... this is Christmas tree frame set I made quite a few months ago when visiting Kaisercraft in Geelong.

 Melissa Kennedy designed it and taught the class.

It is a great keep sake and I had a ball wiring together the Kaisercraft paper Blooms and paper leaves to make the rose sprigs you can see on this one. I imagine we will have many more Christmas photos to display like thing after today... fortunately Kaisercraft will have a million ideas on how to do this in the coming year ... something to look forward to!

Have a wonderful day my friends.

HUGE smiles from Kel.
