Happy Holidays

"Mint Wishes" is my new favourite Christmas collection from Kaiser

Such a pretty inspiration board for the October challenge.

Here I am on  holidays in Canada...these papers are perfect for snow photos!

 I've used modelling paste and a stencil to add leaves to the background along with lots of extra die cut leaves and flowers. I really like the effect of layering the photo 3 times.

Below is Sketchy Boards challenge for November

Sometimes I'm late posting.....this month I thought I'd be early😉 ... so I can link up with Kaiser.

Happy Crafting Everyone

Puppy Love

Hey there........so nice of you to stop by!

Today I'd like to share a layout I've created for the 'January Kaiser Challenge'.

Colour palette , Paper flowers and stamping.

 All the papers are from 'Kaiser Bow and Arrow Collection. I use George cricut cartridge to cut the flowers and Paper Pups for the title 'Puppy Love'. I stamped the tiny flowers and the sentiments on the tags. Love this and So Happy and the leaves are also Kaiser stamps. A bit of stitching some sequins, ink splatters......thats it :)

Our Puppy is now 14 weeks old and into everything. Major Puppy proofing going on here!!

Have a fabulous week

Happy Creating

Layout and Card...

Hey There everyone,

Well, over the last 4 days I've found muscles that have not been used for sometime. I've been helping my daughter move into her new house.......so we have been busy cleaning the house and moving furniture.

I started this layout earlier in the week.....today has been the first chance I've had to work on it. I feel like it was a bit of a rushed job, but it needs to be linked up by midnight.....so here's what I came up with. I used Art Booking Cricut cartridge to cut the overlay.

 A few different Kaiser collections have been combined for the colour challenge.

 Kaiser Challenge #3

Then I thought......why not try to complete Challenge #5

Create a card that is predominately Green.

I also followed this sketch from "Feeling Sketchy"

I'm so sorry I haven't had a chance to visit and see what you have been creating.....I do plan to play catch up over the next few days.

I really appreciate you stopping by

Kaiser Sketch October #4

Hello...........I'm back to show you my take on the Kaiser sketch #4.

I really love this photo....here is my simple layout with soft , pretty colours. I've combined a few kaiser paper collections here.

  

I wanted to create a soft look with some texture for the butterflies in the background..........I don't have any stencils, so I cut myself one using a  transparency sheet and my cricut. I mixed a very pale pink ink with the texture paste.....I really like how this turned out. I think I'll be cutting myself some more stencils :)

Boy meets Girl Scrapbook challenge this month is to add texture to your creation.......I hope this is ok!

Thanks for visiting everyone

Happy Creating

Happy Monday to you.....thanks for stopping by :)

On the post before I showed you the layout 'Photo Shoot'...............well , here is the best photo out of quite a few they I took. All the kids look quite natural .....eyes are open and they are smiling!

I'm behind the camera saying....."Can you just behave, all I want is one good photo!" ..... so here it is!

 I have mainly used Kaiser 'Marigold' collection......with a few other bits and pieces from Kaiser.

I'm entering my layout in the Kaiser Saturday Sketch competition

Have a great week

Kaiser challenge.......

In between painting my walls I have managed to do a layout for the Kaiser Sketch challenge January #4.

Just in time:)

I have rotated the sketch anti clock wise.

Tori has pretty blue eyes.........I wanted to high light them so, for my layout I used lots of the pretty blue paper from the 'Miss Nelly collection , with just a touch of green. "You" is from an older collection.......I can't remember the name of it. It is great that Kaiser is now selling card stock.....it coordinates perfectly with all their pattern papers. I have used it to Mat the photo. I have used glimmer mist to add colour to the back ground, I think you can just pick it up in the photo.

Ok.......I must go , its not to long before the kids get home from school, I need to get another coat on a few walls.

I think the rain has stopped............yay my paint will dry faster:)

Have a fabulous week

So happy you stopped by

Tracey

Sand and Surf

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.......mine has been very busy.

I decided I didn't like the colour of the walls in my house, so I've started painting again. I say again because this is something I often do..........I get all these new ideas that I just have to do straight away. I'm very lucky to have a husband who is quite happy for me to paint..........:)

I still have  quite a bit to do......  lucky I completed this layout last week.

This is Kaiser Sketch January #2

I have use the " Seaside Collection"

The banner is cut from Martha Stewart 'All Occasion cake art'..every thing else is kaiser.

Can you see the foot prints behind the sentiment? These are mine:) How perfect is this kaiser rub on for my photo!

I really appreciate you stopping bye

See You Soon

Pretty Hearts...........

Hi everyone, I'm back to show you the project I made for "Lessology". If you haven't heard its a new challenge blog .......which is all about Up cycling.

 The Trinket Box Challenge! :) Don't we love having little boxes holding fun little treasure we have? Decorate an existing box or make one from scratch! Remember to include at least ONE upcycled item on your creation!

I just love HEART anything.............I've had this box stored in a cupboard for along time, this challenge was the perfect opportunity to give it a new look.

Here is the before picture.

                                                                      

 Look at how pretty it is now!

I made the flower using the "Flower Shoppe" cartridge.........can you see the petals are Heart shape too??

I 've used Kaiser paper........the background is "Timeless" and for the flower I used their new collection "Bonjour".  

The centre of the flower is a very old earing.  I love fairies too, so I added it............and some more pretty Hearts.

                                                              Here is a photo to show you how old it is..........

I painted the inside pink.............and hated it. So then I had the idea to paint a crackle medium over it before I changed the colour. I love how it turned out all old looking!

My box will be used to store all my pretty HEART shape trinkets.

 This box was one of a set .............I can't wait to cover the rest now!

Hope you like it

Thank you for a great challenge

Tracey

I just love.......

the soft colours in the new Kaiser collection - Blae & Ivy.

The flowers on my card are cut using Mothers day Bouquet cartridge. I used a Martha Stewart punch to cut the window. Inside the card, I stamped a pretty vine and added more flowers.  You can kind of see them through the window.

I'd like to enter this card in these challenges -
 I did it creations - Floral 
   Scrappy Frogs challenge - Flowers

So thats my very short post for today............At the moment I'm busy working on a Christmas in July layout for Scrappy-Go-Lucky, so keep an eye out for that next week some time.

Thanks so much for visiting

see you soon

Vintage swimmers

Hey everyone,
Here is a layout  that I put together over the weekend.
Jordyn is modelling my mums "Cole of California"swimsuit, that she wore when she was 15. After talking to my mother and telling her about the layout ,she said she had a photo of her self in it. How lucky was I to be able to add that to the page too!

I hate my hand writting, but this page really needed some more details about the photo's, I tried to make it blend so it looked part of the background. It kinda works I think?
The paper is a new Kaiser collection - Blae and Ivy........I love the soft tones. I cut the branch and flowers from Serenade cartridge and the tags from Sweet Treats. The title is from Wall Decor and More.

Enjoy your week

Thanks for stopping by

Tracey

Special day

Today I thought I'd show you a layout I did a few weeks ago for "Scrappy-Go-Lucky". (Some of you have probably already seen it over there.)

Look at those beautiful dresses in the photo’s, they added all the colour I really needed for this layout. I just created simple embellishments to highlight the pictures.

 The oval frame is cut using Happily Ever After.  Now that I can cut my own Doilies, you will probably see them on a lot of my creations…..I just love them! This one is French Pastry.

 Mothers day bouquet was used to cut the flowers.  The butterflies are cut using Martha Stewart all Occasion Cake.

The paper is Kaiser "Airy Fairy".

Cutting all your own embellishment is so much fun………..add some glitter , pearls etc. , so easy!

At the moment "Scappy-Go-Lucky" is having a stock take sale.......all the Doily dies are 10% off. Check them out HERE.

See you again soon

Kaiser Sketch June #3

Hello, I'm back to show you my take on this weeks Kaiser sketch. I used "Christmas Carnival".......I love the colours in this collection.
Here's the sketch....

 I reversed the sketch to suit the background paper. The Christmas trees are part of the back ground paper, which I cut to slip the photo underneath.

The trees sparkle with all that bling.......... and how cute is the little embroidered tree!

Can't wait to see the next sketch.

Its the weekend tomorrow ..........enjoy everyone!

Be back on Sunday to show you this weeks card for "Birthday Sundaes".

Tracey

Special Times........

Hello, I hope everyone is having a great week........mine has been quite busy, but I still found a little time to do this layout for Kaiser Saturday sketch  June #2.



The paper collection is "Utopia". I used the cricut to cut the title, the striped shape at the bottom and the scallop shape border above the stripe.

The colours of the paper were a perfect match for the photo!

If you get a chance head over to the Kaiser gallery and check out all the Beautiful creations.

Thanks so much 4 stopping by.........enjoy the rest of the week!
