A Touch of Gold

Good Morning

 and welcome back to Scrapbookit. Today I'm back to share some projects I have done with this month's release from Kaisercraft 'A Touch of Gold'.  I just love this photo of my daughter and wanted to make the photo the feature so for me it is a simple layout but with the shimmer of gold it has the classy look I was after.

 Here is a close up of the cluster using the Swirl flourish die cut, Ribtex 'Blossoms' and some D'lish resin flowers and key.

 Here is a set of three cards I made using the small paper pad and some embellishments I punched using the new 'Teresa Collins' punches from Fiskars (all available to order).

As Mel showed in her  last post when we attended the Retailers day at Kaisercraft. We were lucky enough to have Melissa Kennedy teach us a class using the new 'Time machine' range. I thought I would share my finished pages. This range is so perfect for all masculine photos but I'm sure it has many other uses.

I hope I have inspired to get your stash out and start putting those memories together, enjoy the sunshine and I look forward to seeing your creations up in our gallery. You could be in the running for a prize pack, entries for the challenge close August 30th.

Happy Scrapping

'All that Glitters'

Welcome Everyone,

Wow three posts in as many the days, I hope you have been inspired to create with our new 'March Challenge'. I'm here to share some projects I created this month using the new Kaisercraft 'All that Glitters' range, and if you love the 'Gold' trend that is happening at the moment in scrapbooking, you will love this range.

Here are my layouts:

This first one I have followed the challenge, and as you can see there is alot of 'Gold' happening. I have added a Dlish doily and embellishments from the range. A Manor House word and some stickers from my stash for the title. I have embossed the tag and sprayed it with some Heidi Swapp Color Mist.

  This page also has the gold doily and some WOW vaneer's but its all about the beautiful papers and of course the photo of my beautiful girls.

This range is so pretty I couldn't help but create some cards to have on hand, I just love the florals and pinks. The first two where so quick and easy to make using the little paper pad.

Well that's it from me, I'm off to organise some more fun for the retreat, don't forget to get those entries in by March 30th. The DT girls will be in throughout the month sharing their wonderful work , so pop back in often to check them out.

Happy Scrapping

Just in Time

Good afternoon everyone,

Well where has this month gone?? I am so far behind, maybe it's the school holidays and having the kids home or maybe it's the beautiful weather we have been having and I'm spending more time outside. But i am here to share a couple of layouts I have done with the Kaisercraft Basecoat Christmas range that i worked with this month.

Firstly a Footy Layout of my daughter when we all went down to Etihad for my son to play in his auskick game. We won't talk about the results on the day but Brittany was certainly a very happy 'Bomber's supporter. I have roughly used Mel's challenge with some washi tape, twine, and 4 papers.

My next layout I am just in love with this pic of my granddaughter and the paper was just perfect, I have used a Scrap FX chipboard title, lots of stencils and stamps and some Dlish goodies.

Okay, that's it from me but I'll be back tomorrow with the big announcement of our new look team.


Happy crafting
Jo.

September Challenge

Welcome to my post for this month's challenge set by DT member Mel Field. As we celebrate Father's day this month, Mel has asked us to share a project that celebrates 'My Hero', use 4 patterned papers, Washi tape, twine and to make a handmade embellishment.

 The girls have done a fantastic job showcasing their hero's so here is my take on the September's challenge.
 I set myself a challenge to use what is predominately a Christmas range from Kaisercraft, the new 'Basecoat Christmas'. This range has some beautiful christmas papers but also the 'grunge style' paper that we know as 'Basecoat'.

I have to admit I struggled at first, but once I started it just flowed and I'm happy with what I created. I have added some of the new Kaisercraft washi tape, 4 different papers from the Basecoat Christmas paper pad, Kraft Thickers for my title, my handmade element is my tag that I have stamped with a 'Darkroom Door' stamp, I have used lots of Distress ink, Heidi Swapp colour mists, twine, and some new metal elements from Dlish. I have sprayed my muslin to blend with the colours. Of course I have used a photo of my man who is definitely my hero in every way.

Just a reminder that there is a 'Design Team Call' on, so if you would like an opportunity to join Scrapbookit's team send in your application by the 20th September. Details are in the sidebar.

Not long now until our Spring Retreat, lots of planning, and surprises are in the pipeline. If you know of anyone who would like to join in please let me know by calling 0407058604.

Have a great crafty week
