Pickled Pear Paper Pad Gift Box

h

So today I challenge you to say the title to this post 10 times as fast as you can! Bhahahahaahah

Now that we have had a good laugh, I just wanted to share with you this groovy little gift box made from 2 bits of paper from the paper pad found in the Pickled Pear Collection. 

These simple boxes are so easy to make... I'll have to film a tutorial on how to do it as the Kaisercraft paper pads are just perfect for making these with.

It consists of two bits of paper folded in such a way that they fit together snuggly. Then I've stuck a length of ribbon to the bottom box that can tie up over the top, a few bits and bobs for decoration latter there you have an easy made gift box.

Tis the season to start thinking of these things ... I love this time of year in the blog world, now is the time we will start to see some really cool ideas pop up on blogs ... keep your eyes peeled folks! LOL

Pickled Pear Layout

Today I have another Layout using the Pickled Pear Collection this time I just had a bit of fun creating a nice place in the 'garden' to sit this photo in ... that was the effect I was going for anyway! 

The flowers are some lovely lemon ones that Manor House Creations put out a while ago ... I must admit I love these flowers with the Pickled Pear collection.

The little resin tulips are just something I found on ebay ... I'm really enjoying all the bit and pieces that are popping up at the moment in resin, it's a great medium for scrapbooks, adding dimension without too much weight!

Thanks for stoping for a look.

Cheers from Kel.

Sat. Sketch #1 Oct 2012

For this Saturday Sketch I have used the beautiful new Butterfly Kisses Collection. This was a fun sketch and not a style I usually find myself drawn to so it was a good challenge for me!

The flowers are Manor House and of course the rest is all Kaisercraft.

This is the sketch it was based on

Miss Match Layout

Introducing the new 'Miss Match' collection from Kaisercraft. This collection is very well named ... the papers in this layout are the most flowery pinks I could find in this range, but there are also loads of greens, mustards and blues in this collection too ... quite the 'Miss Match' indeed! 

This collection is also choc-a-block full of cute embellishments like the bingo cards you can see tucked in here and there on the layout. The main flower is one of the beautiful pink country garden roses from Manor House Creations and finally you can also see I've used my new favourite wood flourishes ... the small hinges ... how cute are these little guys!! LOL

Thanks for dropping by for a look.

Smiles from Kelly-ann.

Saturday Sketch #4 May

So for this Saturday Sketch I have used the new 'Timeless' papers. I also tipped the sketch once to the left. This was such a lovely layout to make, I take a great deal of pleasure in scrapping my friends as well as my family so this wedding shot of our close friends was a joy to work with! For me nothing screams Wedding quite like lace and ribbon ... and that wooden flourish is my favourite of all time! LOL. The flower is the only 'other' product on the page as it's a Manor House Bloom.

Thanks for looking... smiles from Kel.

The sketch this layout was based on:

Saturday Sketch #4 April 2012

 Well for this Saturday Sketch I've gone right off the map... LOL ... I started with the basic layout of the sketch, but as I worked out my photos and the 'feel' of the page it kind of took off on a life for it's own and evolved as such! This is my 6th baby so I'm kind of over the 'water splash's' of my first few baby bath layouts, and also being the 4th girl I'm keen to use different colours in this album rather than the avalanche of pink that I traditionally have ... so I settled on Blue for bath time. The stamp I have used for the flourishes is an oldie but a goldie ... from the 'Rewind' collection ... I adore this flourish stamp!

And here is the original Sketch:

And below you will find a few close ups....

Before and After Embellishments

  

So Above you can see the 'Before' Pictures of my latest Altered Art Projects.... A Balinese CD rack that I picked up cheep at a shop that was shutting down, and a gorgeous white coated metal bird cage that I purchased from 'Massi Mumma'... the best home decore shop in Casino!!

Both of these projects were done in the space of a morning, they are just quick little decorative pieces for my shop ( Although the CD rack is now a very useful tea and coffe station!! LOL). 

There truly is nothing you can't do with a hot glue gun!! Add a few flowers from kaisercraft and Manor House Creations and this is what I came up with...

Thanks for looking ... smiles from Kel. xoxo

Manor house & Kaisercraft Bird House

I made this Kaisercraft Bird house using Manor House Creations flowers and papers, as well as a few other Kaisercraft products. It's very cute and was a fair bit of fun to make ... sometimes it's nice to make a project just for the sheer joy of it!

Candy Lane Lay Out

A quick Layout that I did up using The Candy Lane paper collection from Kaisercraft and some Manor House Creations Flowers. I was aiming for something very fun and very bright. 

I'm also having a bit of a love affair with organza ribbon at the moment ... I think I use it on every second layout !! LOL

One More Manor House LO

And here wit are with yet another layout using papers from Manor house Creation ( Or the Scarp Cake to be exact) ... this is one of my favourite LO's at the moment, I just adore the colour combo of greens and purples, there are also a lot of punched flowers and rub-ons on this page ... i'm finding at the moment that the bussier a page gets the more I like it ... not my usual thing, but maybe the tide is turning!!?

More Manor House Flowers
