to bring you a couple of projects I have had the pleasure of working on lately.

We have had a bit of fun in our Family this last month and so scrapbooking has been on the back burner. Our Middle Son "Michael" married his longtime girlfriend "Sherie" and we had a very special week with them, Family Friends all leading up to the wedding and of course the week after. So yes it has been full on.

Anyway as you will suspect most of my layouts to come in the near future are going to be full of wedding photos, but I promise only for a little while and only when the papers suit......so with no further ado...

Have you had time to check out the new collection from Kaisercraft  -  Blubelle. the colours are amazing and I must admit I am liking it well so far anyway. I am loving the large spray of flowers from the sticker sheet and found it a very easy layout to put together. I have also used one of the new Prima Stencils as you will see in the Photos...so lets get to them




Here is a closeup of the sticker I have used from the sheet and some of the other flowers and goodies I have managed to get on there as well. I have used some Muslin which I coloured using glimmermists ( lots of different pinks, blues, greens, and even orange). I have also used one of the Banners from the Tim Holtz Banner die and added the paper roses etc along it on top of the flower sticker.

It definitely took some covering but did the job

Until Next Time

Hi there - Christine here - I am back to show you what else I did with the Kaisercraft Limelight Collection.   Last week I was doing Tall & Skinny cards - so I thought inking up my one and only Julie Nutting doll stamp (Yes I only have 1! So far!) would be good as she needs a tall card base.



I stamped her straight onto a tag from a tag pad that comes with these stamps then I stamped her onto 2 different Limelight papers from the paper pad - these are great as the patterns on them are smaller than the 12x12 patterned papers. Then I fussy cut out the dress parts and layered them onto the stamped doll on the tag.  I coloured her hair and shoes with Copics and added a little flower to the headband and waistband. Next I layered the tag onto one of my tall & skinny card bases and added embellishments from the Collectables to finish her off!

For these 3 cards I used the  left over cards from cutting out my tall & skinny cards from the A4 cream card sheet. To these I have added the 3x4 cards from this paper. I trimmed them a little and layered them onto black 3x4 card then added leftover collectables. These cards can always be taken off the cream card base and used in project life pages!




I really like using up bits of leftovers from projects and making these smaller cards was a great way to do it!
Make sure you check out the new Julie Nutting doll stamps.  Some sets come with dies so you don't have to do any fussy cutting! Now that would be great!

Happy Creating!

Next I used a couple of the die cuts which are also in the 6.5" pad, distressed the edges and also inked with the Pinecone Versamark pad. I then layered these on the canvas with a small square of muslin layered between them. I placed my photo on top and stuck a couple of Kaisercraft blooms on for extra depth. The sentiment along the bottom comes from the Collectables pack.


This type of canvas is easy to put together and would make a great gift or would be a beautiful piece of art for your walls.

Hello it's Melissa here with my second project for March with the lovely Kaisercraft Limelight collection.  I'm not a big card maker, so I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I make some!

For this first card I stapled ruffles into the ribbon (as my sewing machine was playing up) and then layered up some paper and a die cut tag. The background paper is a sheet of border strips which I left uncut.  Some drops of mist and it was done!

Hi there - Christine here today to show you some cards I have made using the Kaisercraft Limelight Collection.......
This card was based on this Mojo  sketch......

So I decided to go tall & skinny with these next 2 cards too! 
With the envelope maker, which I love, you can make various sized cards and then make an envelope to fit!



I have used black and cream cardstock to frame and layer with the Limelight patterned papers from the 6x6 pad. Then I have embellished with the Collectables, diecut a few bits from the card and patterned paper, added Bakers twine and some pearl flourishes!
This collection was fabulous to work with so I am off to try something else with it......

Hi everyone.....the month is "March-ing" along isnt it? ( sorry lame joke!) Its sort of compulsory to tell a joke on St Patrick's day isnt it? So...... Top of the morning to ya!!! Have a great day, and luck of the Irish to ya!

This month I was lucky enough to receive the Kaiser collection Blubelle to play along with. Love this collection for the pinks, apricots and blues which are warmed up with the tan colours.
I think these papers are perfect for those warm autumn photos we are taking at the moment.

The page I have made here, was taken in autumn a couple of years back when we rode the Otago Rail Trail with a bunch of mates. I used a little texture paste through a stencil in the background, and then just layers of papers under the photo.

As usual, I try to place design elements in a triangle to draw the eye into the photo..... notice the flowers and the doilies I have used to do this?

A relatively simple page, but one I am super happy with.

Hi everyone!

Sharon here with another share of my layouts created with the awesome Telegraph Road collection.

I told you last time about how wonderful this collection is.....I think I could use it for a month and not tire of it. Such pretty colours, and designs. Perfect for feminine pages!

In these pages, I have used a lot of texture ( as usual) with gesso and texture pastes, and color shine mists to create a background, then layered up lots of pieces of papers to showcase the photo.

Just love these two  photos of my daughter who is on her OE with her (now) fiance ! their engagement photo taken in the Sahara Desert is just perfect, and the pink hues of the photo just screamed out for the telegraph road collection. ( Isn't it just the most cute photo ever?)

without further ado........TELEGRAPH ROAD

Betsy here this morning to share some cards made with Kaisercraft's Limelight Collection. I do really love the colour pallet in this range, find it very refreshing. These cards are actually published in the Workshop Magazine, for March, but I thought, for anyone not receiving it, I would show them here. It is a magazine which comes free, so do make sure you get one - Artfull Crafts have them available. It has lots of stunning ideas that you can try, and not only cards.

Well, what an amazing weekend we have had, as we celebrated our 50th anniversary, with all our family. We sure don't know where the years have gone, but are so thankful for God's goodness to us and for blessing us with such a fabulous family.

Now, it's back to the ordinary every day things of life!!

Here are the cards that I promised.


















The collectables in Kaiser's ranges are so great to work with - they do make cards making so much simpler.
I am teaching with this range, on Wednesday, at Artfull Crafts and I know the ladies will enjoy working with
it, as I do.

Stamp Camp this weekend at Stavely, and what a weekend it's going to be! Trina McClune is going to be with us, we are really looking forward to that. Liz has lots of ideas spinning round in her head, so altogether should be a fun few days. Do remember the challenges for March, there are lots of prizes to be won and we love seeing what you do.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out, happy crafting and God bless you all,.

Betsy.

Hi everyone in scrappy land!!!!

What a FANTASTIC DAY it is today! Been married 29 years today to my best friend!!!

Hope you have all been busy scrapping .... the weather down south has certainly been conducive to a bit of art therapy! ( chilly and wet.....where did summer go?)

I have a couple of pages to share with you from the Telegraph Road collection. This would have to be one of my favourite ranges!
In my first page here, I have used lots of layers to create a textural page....seems to be a recurrent theme with me at the moment!
In the back ground, I have used stencils and mists to create the background, layers of stamps over the top, and also texture pastes through a different stencil, to give the page definite texture.
I have also used a texture paste, which i coloured with ink, through a stencil, which I then cut out to use as a page element. I then layered oodles of papers, laces, trinkets stickers, wooden elements to create a frame for the photo.

For me, I love the arty process of creating a page like this. In my albumns I often have an arty page like this on one side, and a divided page protector ( think project life) to put a selection of other photos in a simpler format to tell the story.

The products I used to create this page can be found here.
trinkets , lace , Resin molds and texture pastes , stencils , Colorshine mists and of course Telegraph-Road



This second page also received the texture treatment! and with lots of layered up papers to create a mat beneath the photo, some added flowers and it was done!
