Tina with another SENZ project
Layout using Pink Gelato by Kaisercraft....
I've used Glimmer Mist on the title and then added Dimensional Magic.
I Glimmer Misted over a Prima mask to create some extra pattern on the paper, strips of paper have been punched with Martha Stewart punches, then I added some pearls and Kutalicious acrylic.

Tina's Travel Journal
Here's another of my projects for SENZ. I used a Kaisercraft recipe book and "Up, up & away" paper range. It ended up being quite epic, and I actually have a few more photos and more journaling to add to it once I get it back from NZ.
Here's the front cover....
Kutalicious travel icons such as this plane, were perfect embellishments for my pages.
Envelope with hidden journalling...
The "New York" title & stylish Statue of Liberty by Kutalicious....
The acetate dividers were decorated using Tim Holtz Masks and Stazon ink....
Lots of inking and stamping, hidden journal spots, and Kutalicious travel words....
Here's the front cover....

Lowri - Cosmo Cricket Mini Album
Hi Everyone - Lowri here
I am excited about this project as it was the first one in a while I did purely for fun and - I did it purely for me! It is my entry to the latest Cosmo Cricket Challenge and I am really pleased with how it has turned out.
I created this album from scratch using my Spellbinders Christmas Tree dies, double sided sticky chipboard and papers from Cosmo Cricket's Social Club collection. It's a good idea to take another look at some of your Spellbinders and see if they have any "alternate" uses! I don't have many sets so I like to get the most out of them. I thought these looked like leaves when the tree was upside down!
All of my photos are printed onto canvas. It took a little trial and error but I found out that the best results were from the the plain paper, draft quality settings. I then used my spellbinders to cut the page and backed the canvas with patterned paper for strength.
I found this sentiment sticker on the bottom of my Tiny Type numbers and it was the perfect title for my family album. I love how they are pretty much invisible on an background.
This was really fun to do and I am so happy to finally have made something for myself!

These buttons from the Social Club collection co-ordinate perfectly. I have added some string for stems and pearls to the centers to create some flowers
This was really fun to do and I am so happy to finally have made something for myself!
If you have young kids, be sure to check my blog - I have a great idea for making dinosaur fossils!

SENZ Weekly Wednesday - Edition Six
Miracles do happen... It's still Wendesday and I've done the post!
Another way to look at it is that it's PAST 11:30pm and I'm still working! We've been at the shop all night packing the stall fittings onto pallets. I do love fitting boxes together like a jigsaw.
Tuesday was a manic day (poor Juanita and Vicki!). Even I managed to get sore stomach muscles from leaning over the tables making kits. We had a goal to make all the class kits in one day - and we pretty much did it - with a little help from some friends! We were really grateful to all of you who volunteered to help us over this past week. We've had Lynne, Viv, Genevieve, Susan, Pat, Randy, Sarah and Janelle kindly pop into the shop and offer to help. I should have taken photos of the MESS and CHAOS and all the wonderful helpers! But we were too busy running around like headless chooks (well I was!)
I guess it's best to be running around now and nice and calm for SENZ knowing that everything has been done well.
Today we started out bit more calm and Betsy was kind enough to run the weekly card class (champion!). But by 2pm we put the pedal down and realised there were a hundred card kits that we needed to make for selling at the stall. Poor Ella came in after school again today and helped us finish them off! On the bright side - she might be getting close to buying that camera she's after.
Tonight we started packing furniture. We're going a bit high-class this year. We're even taking the new Demo stations with us! Why not have lovely furniture at the right height when you're working long hours? We'll have one in the classroom and one at the stall. All our favourite craft tools will be on hand and we'll be able to move it around. Fun! And they've got lovely pink wallpaper on them!
In fact, talking about Demos - you really must pop by the Stall and the Demo Theatre. We're there each day at 10:30am and 1pm. We've got special demonstrators showing off a couple of fab tools, and we'll be showing 3 other products/tools as well and will be offering specials on them. I can't say anymore - but we did lots of giveaways last year...
Well, I must go now and dream of packing boxes and all those last minute things that need doing. Most of you might be wondering why we're so organised?! Well we booked flights to Auckland on Saturday so we could catch up with some friends before SENZ. So everything has to be finished by 5:30pm Friday!
I suspect tomorrow night will be much later...
I did want to post some bios from the Kaiser girls - but they've been pretty busy too with Expos and changes in life. So perhaps next week! In fact next week will be an interesting post. We would have all arrived in Auckland and will have retired to the holiday house we are renting. Let's just say we were fortunate enough to be upgraded and I would call it a mansion. We need to take our togs for the spa. Ahhhhh I coud do with one of those tonight!

Sunday Scrapping - New Kaisercraft and SENZ, SENZ, SENZ!
Hi Everyone - Lowri here.
Some fantastic posts this week from the Design Team including a sneak at an upcoming Kaisercraft Collection, Blae and Ivy, from Shirl and some great ideas with the June releases - Pink Gelato and Velvet Ensemble with Tina and Lowri.
Last weekend also saw the first Artfull Getaway. It was a huge success and you can read all about it (as well as see some great pictures) here.
I have been preparing some bits and pieces for SENZ. Without giving too much away - all of these will be used in the classes as decorations, giveaways and fun surprises! The classes will be action packed and GREAT value in terms of what you will learn AND product you will receive. You can see all the available classes and book them on our website here. Take a look....
Classes are a heap of fun and we still have spaces available. With 2 weeks to go we thought we'd give an incentive to join in our classes. Anyone who books (or who has already booked in) for 3 or more Artfull Crafts classes will receive a Kaisercraft "Thank-you Goodie Bag". It will include a Beyond the Page project and a variety of Kaiser products worth $20. So don't miss out and get booking! We will have the packs at SENZ for you to pick up.
Stay tuned to the blog for more great ideas this week!
