Just scrapping....

Last weekend there was a cybercrop on a Chookscraps.
Even though there was a challenge and deadlines, it felt good to be able to scrap something that didn't have the pressure of having to be the best I could do.

and I managed the 3 layouts....





And now I'm ahead on my projects for Kaisercraft, I can't decide whether to start March's projects, do Mum's cross stitch, or just some simple scrapbooking for myself??

But I figure I might be naughty here and leave you with a very small sneak peek of one of my projects for February...

Sorry but it'll be a couple of weeks before you can see it... lol

Lil Primrose

Looking for soft little girl colours, then look no further than Lil Primrose....
this range is really so cute and girly....

So... onto the good stuff...

My layout...





The little primrose girls remind me of dolls from when I was little. And no this is not a photo of me as a little girl...

And my card...




Kaisercraft have brought out a heap of stamps that match this range. They're perfect for colouring with copics but of course, I don't have any, so I tried my hand at colouring with inks and a wet paint brush. Not too bad I guess...

and my OTP....







Just as I started making this concertina album, my niece had a baby girl, so I thought this would be a perfect little gift for her.

This week I've been working on my next months projects for Kaisercraft. Must say, you're going to love the new ranges! Just yummy...

Hummingbird

Do you love bright colours?
Bright reds and aquas???

Then don't look any further than Hummingbird from Kaisercraft!

It's very bright and funky... and teamed with white those colours really do pop.

So what did I manage to create with this range....

My layout...



Loved the aqua teamed with pink.... really brought out the colours in this photo!
(hmmmm btw Sam... I didn't get any new photos! lol)

My card...


I used one of the acrylic shapes from the 13th Hour range for this as it worked it perfectly. It's easy to mix and match sometimes.
And for a card... I really like this one!

And my OTP...



This actually used to be bright pink...and when I say bright I mean it!!!!
So a coat of paint, some pieces of bright paper and it has a new lease on life!

And I think I will leave you with a pic of Sally....



And yes, she's trying to eat a brick! Don't ask me why... especially as there's a perfectly good bone on the back lawn!

Honest....

I haven't forgotten.... I just haven't had anything to blog about really.

I spent last weekend rearranging my room, and looking for my mojo in the process.
And guess what??? I found him so I spent the rest of the weekend creating.

I did take photos, but........... then realised that all over my desk was secret squirrel stuff, so I couldn't share them.

Once I clean my desk up I will share some new ones... liking this new arrangement thought.

But I do have a simple sneak I can share....



Kaiser have brought out just the sweetest ranges this month....

and a happy New Year!

May 2012 bring you all you wish and hope for and not too many curve balls!!!!

Ok... that's my blessing, onto some good stuff. Well really catch up from last month.
So without any further ado, here are my projects from Kaisercraft On the Move collection....



This range is just perfect for boys, even for those imperfect boy shots we all have as they can't take a photo shoot seriously now can they! lol


And then there's a full range of cards you can make. From those hard to find boy cards, to travel ones, it's all possible....




Mind you On the Move is perfect for creating a desk set for a boy of any age. I haven't given this to Jonathan yet, but I know he's eyeing it off... lol

And onto Sweet Nothings... what a beautiful range, full of birds, flowers and angels....
But whatever you do, don't think it's only for the girls...


Try a group photo or....




hmmmmm.... yes I DO believe you've seen this photo before... a few times! But when you have a particular photo that's been taken on burst, therefore several copies slightly different, that's one of those just perfect moments, you can't help but scrap it more than once!
And I do have to say... this layout is one of my favourites!!!!


The paper pad is full of papers highlighted with gold, but unfortunately this paper really does not photograph well. But it is absolutely beautiful in real life... trust me!

and finally....







Since receiving the birdcages from Kaisercraft I've been dying to alter one, especially since I moved into my new studio. This one is the first and I want to make a matching one for my wall.
You have to agree, Sweet Nothings is perfect for this one...

I have to admit though, painting the birdcage was not one of the most enjoyable aspects, but well worth it! If you want a hint, paint it not with craft paint, but get a sample pot of an all-in-one sealer/primer from your hardware store.... one coat and it's all done!
Trust me on this....
