Merry & Bright Cards

Just a few cards to share today... made with the Merry and Bright Collection. So even though this is ment to be a Christmas range with a difference, I have chosen to completely focus on the 'difference'!

 I love the oriental feel of these papers and the 'baubles' make fabulous lanterns and give these cards a real festive feel. The perfect effect for birthday cards!!

I almost always use the 'Birthday' or 'Card Sentiments' Rub-ons from Kaisercraft when making cards. Occasionally I'll stamp the phrases but Rub-ons are just so easy ... a crime of connivence really! LOL

Well thanks for popping over for look, Have a great week.

Cheers from Kel.

        

           

Sat. Sketch #3 Oct 2012

The Saturday Sketch sample on the Kaisercraft Blog used the Butterfly Kisses Collection this week, which looked good to me, so I followed it pretty closely ... how cute is this whole collection!!

The butterfly paper with the already perforated butterflies is just divine and such an easy way to get into  a page ... with all my little girls I'm sure I'll be using this collection loads in the future!

Cheers from Kel.

Turtle Dove Layout

This layout made with the Turtle Dove Collection is my favourite Christmas page so far this year... the photo is a silly disorganised one, but precious to me none the less and I loved the special feel that these papers and embellishments brought to my layout. 

This is also the the very thing I adore most about scrapbooking ... you truly don't need the best photos in the world to bring to life the best memories in your life, you can build that yourself buy adding colour, texture and movement ... if scrapbooking were a person I would be hugging them right now!

Thanks for dropping by,

Saturday Sketch #3 June 2012

Well for this weeks Saturday Sketch I have hailed back to the bright and beautiful 'Bubblegum Hills' paper collection. It was perfect for these bright and vibrant photos of my husband daughter with Rianbow lorikeets on their heads! Also last week at the craft fair I managed to buy about a dozen very cool masks and as you can see a couple of them got a good work out on this LO ... I love masking with my distress inks!

The Lakehouse LO

This is another really simple LO using the new ' TheLakehouse' collection from Kaisercraft, there are no tricky techniques going on here, just some paper arranging!! As always I can't resist a bit of sewing on the page ... it just so easily adds something extra to pages in my opinion! And then are all those gorgeous stickers that are so easy to plaster where ever your heart desires LOL.

Now for my one pearl of wisdom ... EVERY girly page looks better with some pearl strips on it somewhere ... seriously .... you should try it ... take a girly LO ( any LO will do) and add a boarder of complimenting coloured pearl strips ... you WILL be amazed!! LOL

Saturday Sketch #1 June 2012

Made from the divine new 'The Lakehouse' paper collection by Kaisercraft , this weeks sketch was a breeze to knock up ... I just LOVE all these colours, the pinks and greens are a real weakness for me in scrapbooking ... I'm in very real danger of dying from too much pink! LOL But when you are onto a good thing, I say stick to it! In any case I very much enjoyed doing this page ... you can never have enough photos of the whole family when it comes to scrapbook albums!

Saturday Sketch #3 May

For this weeks sketch I have used the Magnolia Grove paper collection again, but this time I just focused in on all the soft blues and greens in the paper range. This photo was always going to be difficult to scrap with all those colours going on in there ( maybe I should have printed it in black and white?!!) so I focused on a soft page to highlight and frame the photo itself.

And here is the sketch it was all based on...

As you can see I flipped the image over for my sketch and also added an enormous amount of extra everything ... just the way I like my scrapbooking pages!!! LOL If you would like to give the sketch a try, THIS is the link to the Kaisercraft Blog where you can find the challenge ...Good Luck.

A Timeless male card

Kaisercraft have released a heap of new papers in their 'Timeless' collection that are so wel suited to heritage and male themes that it was a pleasure to knock up this card for my design team application. I often find it REALLY hard to come with stuff for the older male demographic, but these new papers are making this much easier! LOL

Smiles from Kel.

Saturday Sketch #1 May

How wonderful it was to play with the new Magnolia Grove paper collection... oh these papers are soooo divine, I just adore all the colours! I've also used some 'Shrinky Dinks' to create the little butterflies you can see in this LO, that stuff is so much fun to play with, but I almost lost the wee little butterflies 100 times before I got them finally stuck on the page!! LOL I also hailed back to my flower making days with this sketch, the three roses at the bottom were made from a 5 petal flower punch!

So below you can see the sketch that this page was based on ... lucky it's an interpretation eh! LOL

Smiles from Kel xoxo

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
