Sail Away...

Morning all,

Well it's the weekend again and after a lovely birthday week, I'm back to share some more from the Kaisercraft 'Sail Away' range that I am creating with this month.

I have another layout using lots of chipboard from Scrap FX, New Die cuts from Kaisercraft, a Donna Downey Stencil, and a Kaisercraft stencil. I have used Distress Inks and Embossing powders to colour my chip.

I also have a couple of cards I have made with this range , one using the new Kaiser dies to create an interesting centre of your card, collectables and clear stickers all make card making so quick and easy.

Don't forget to get your entries in for this months challenge because you could be in the running for a great prize just before xmas ( and who doesn't love scrapping goodies for christmas).

We also have in stock the new Kaiser planners if you need to be organised for 2016, these are just perfect. I love mine and YES I am going to be upto date and organised next year.

Drop me an email if you would like to grab one of these fabulous planners.

Have a fantastic weekend, I hope you get to get crafty,

Jo Caird.

He's A Pirate

Morning Everyone,

Far out one week into November already! Time really needs to slow down!

Before we know it Christmas will come and the New Year will be upon us!!!

Today I am here to share with you my first post for the month of November. 

Have you checked out the new challenge?

This month the challenge is a project with the following elements:

1. To use the sketch 

2. To stamp

3. To include a song title on your project

Sound like fun?

Here is the project I have created...

For this month I have been creating with the fun Echo Park 'Pirates Life' Collection. A collection filled with bright colour and lots of fun patterns and images.

As you can see I have stuck reasonably close to the sketch. I have incorporated my stamping in the background, have included embossing and have a song title "He's A Pirate" (From Pirates of the Caribbean) as my title.

 Here are some more close ups.

This one shows the 2 Crafty Harlequin Clumps which I inked with Black Archival Ink and embossed with Silver Metallic Melts. I have outlined some of the diamonds with white gel pen.

 For my tag I used Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress Ink to colour the tag. I then stamped a  Kaisercraft Journal Boxes stamp, an oldie but a goodie, for some journalling.

 Materials:  Kaiser Mist - Red; Echo Park 'Pirate's Life' Collection; Kaisercard - Licorice, Red; Clear stamps - Kaisercraft Stains, Sketchy, Journal Boxes; Ink - Archival Black, Kaisercraft - Black Ink; Metallic Melts - Silver; Stampin' Up - Clear Embossing Powder; 2 Crafty Harlequin Clumps; Black Wire; Tag; Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress Ink; Kaisercraft Alpha Stickers; White Gel pen

Well I hope that you have taken a tiny piece of inspiration from my project this month. Enough to want to get your craft on and join in our challenge!

Make sure you get your entry in by the 30th November to be in the running for a prize pack from Scrapbookit.

What is there not to love about that?

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and get some time to create to your hearts desire.

Make sure you pop back in over the next few weeks to check out what other projects we have been creating this month.

Until then...happy scrapping!
