I had a lot of fun doing this layout and using all the Kaisercraft

embellishments. There were so many to use and they went so 

well with these photo's of Riley and his car. 

The hall way was his race track and he zipped up and down it as

fast as his little legs would take him. Look out anyone that may 

have got in his way.

My inspiration for this layout was the sketch at GrandDiva's

 http://granddivasscrappyplace.blogspot.com.au/

 

Whooo's The Lil' Artist

 

I had so much trouble getting these photo's and in the end I just

give up and took them the way Riley wanted. He had done this 

life size painting of himself at Kinder. I had pinned it to the door.

I asked that he stand beside it so I could take some photo's and he

was so eager. The only problem I had was he insisted on standing 

in front of it.

I tried to hard to explain that I could only see the head and the

body was missing. His answer was that it didn't matter because it 

looked just like him, cause it was him. I decided to let him have 

his way. You will just have to trust him that the body he painted

looks just like him, because it is. 'Cute head though.'

I have place this layout in the challenge at About A Boy

http://itsabouttheboys.blogspot.com.au/

This layout has been done with Kasiercraft Products.

To Our Son With Love.... Card

 

I'm starting to love my New Years Resolution. It is 

working so well doing my cards and a few of my LO. 

This is one I'm able to keep. LOL.

I have made this card for the challenge at Itsy Bitsy.

  http://itsybitsyindia.blogspot.in/2013/04/the-itsybitsy-logo-color-challenge.html

It is a color challenge and I found just the right colors 

in my scrap bag for it. The green and the light blue.

All I can tell you about the papers is that they are from

my ever loved scrap bag and so was the card stock I used

for the card. The stamp is from the beautiful range from

La-La-Land. I have colored it with Stampin`Up Chalks.

Best Friends Forever - Card

 

This is the latest card I have made for the challenge

at Scrapbookit. There is time for this challenge still

if you want to have a go just pop over to

http://scrapbookitblog.blogspot.com.au/

The other challenge I have placed it into is over at 

Crafters Corner challenge #7 Bingo 

For my bingo line I picked - Flowers, Patterned Paper

and Stamping

I normally use my chalks for the coloring but this time 

decided to have a go with my new Copics. I dont have that

many yet, but I'm working on them slowly. For the few I have

I'm happy with the result. The stamp is La-la-land Crafts - 

Marci. I love their stamps. The flower and leaves are from

Cre8tive. On the flower I used a little Smooch Pearl Accent

Ink. The patterned papers are no other than Kaisercraft - Gypsy 

Sisters and the letters and rose are also Kaisercraft from their

 Magnolia Grove Sticker Sheet. The butterfly is from Couture

Creations Treasures.

Vacation - Recipe Challenge

 

Hi everyone. I have been getting a little more work done than normal

the last couple of weeks. This is my latest LO for the Recipe Challenge

over at Scrapbookit. It was so much fun doing it. There is still some 

time left for those who want to have a go. 

 http://scrapbookitblog.blogspot.com.au/

For this challenge I had to use the following recipe - 

  1. Word Title

2.  Card Stock

 3.  Patterned Paper

 4.  Embellishments

 5.  Photo's.

I have used the following products to create this LO of a vacation 

we had to the Great Ocean Road. We had an awesome time.

Card stock from Authentique, and my 3 patterned papers were from 

Authentique, kaisercraft- Just Believe and Kaisercrft -Pack Your Bags.

Heather Schwartz - Little Minis Stickers ( I placed these on card stock 

and cut out to make the lighthouse/boat embellishment). The butterfly

embellishment was from the Couture Creations Treasures - Adalyn

Collection Mocha. The third embellishment I used was the tag I made.

For this I used Kaisercraft 75c collection tag, a rub-on quote and another 

of the stickers.

 

For my last but not least 4th embellishment I have used a chipboard

from Twiddleybitz ornate circle frame and colored it with my Copic

pen E33 Sand and 0 Blender pen. I thought the photo of the boys 

great in it. I used my Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Frayed Burlap around 

the edges of my papers and Black Slick Writer around my pics.

A Special Moment

 

This photo is of my beautiful mother. She was 17 when it was

taken at my Grandfathers home. He had a wonderful garden and

Mum looked a picture in it. 

I have entered this LO in the photo challenge with Narelle at 

 http://njoyfullcraftschallenge.blogspot.com.au/

and also in the word challenge at

http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com.au/

 

I have used quite a mix of things to complete this LO and it was

a lot of fun bringing them all together then sitting back and

looking at the end result. 

The flowers I have used are Bo Bunny Blooms - Harvest Orange,

Natural Earth, Clover and Harvest Orange Daisy.  They are very

beautiful flowers. I used florist wirewhich I twisted around a thin 

pencil and placed it coming out from behind the flowers. The vine

is from Scrap FX.

 

The stunning lamp post is from Twiddleybitz and I colored it with

a green Copic (YG67) pen. I then used a Copic blender pen to give 

it a little of an aged look. Each of the chipees on the layout I colored

in the same way. I used a white card stock and sprayed it with a Kazaz

black Smooch Spritz.

I have placed this layout in the photo challenge with Narelle at 

 http://njoyfullcraftschallenge.blogspot.com.au/

The other challenge is a word challenge at Bird Is A Word

http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com.au/

 

In this photo you get to see more of the beautiful Bo Bunny flowers 

and also Bo Bunny Lace - Natural Earth. The hanging sign is from 

no other than Dusty Attic, which I have placed a little bit of journal

work on it and the rest is hidden journal on the back. The skeleton 

leaves I have used are from Cre8tive. The patterned papers are from

Kaiser Craft - 75 cents. 

 

Check out this photo. Bo Bunny Flowers and the grey  flower with

the lovely trinkets coming from it is from Prima. This is a better pic

of the lace from Bo Bunny, lovely all the way. 

 

This is my final photo of this LO. I have taken this one so as you

can see the lamp post better. I have wrapped a Prima Vine Flower 

around it.The other things in the photo's I have used are, Kaiser Craft 

Floral Delight letter and also their Timeless/Treasures Rub Ons. The

rub ons are the gorgeous birds are the rub ons, which I rubbed onto

white card stock and cut out.  

   

  

Warm Wishes

 

I just cant help myself today with the scrap bag and 

the 3D's. I think I'm going to have a bit of trouble to

decide which card I'm going to give to my father. 

I have also placed this card in the challenge at 

Love To Create Challenge Blog

 http://lovetocreatechallenge.blogspot.com.au/

Happy Birthday

 

I have made this card Keeping with my New Years resolution.

Yes......Using my scrap bag. The beautiful 3D car I have placed

in the middle is from Scraptopia. Who you can find on facebook.

Kylie has hundreds of 3D's and they are so much fun to make.

Where Did The Time Go

 

  This photo was found with a group of family photo's on the passing

 of my grandfather some time ago. Sadly it is one that was not wrote on.

 My father believes she is a family member but we are not sure who. 

None the less she is a beautiful child. 

I have done this LO for the Challenge at Njoyfullcrafts and it required

I use white and one - yellow. I think Narelle likes to take me out of my

comfort zone. I always struggle with yellow. I must say though like the

last time she did it too me I'm more than happy with the out come. If you

get a chance pop on over and join in her challenges. They are a lot of fun.

 http://njoyfullcraftschallenge.blogspot.com.au/

 

I must say Manor House flowers and Prima products are just great

to work with. They are just beautiful. The title is a chip board from

R W Laser cuts and I have inked it with Archival Pigment Ink -

Moonlight White.

 

The Lilly's and fence are from Scraptopia and I have inked the fence

with Stampin Up ink. The butterfly die is a Spellbinders and comes

with two complete butterflies. You get the back and the beautiful lace 

to place over it. The Flutter vine is from Memory Box and I just added

a little ink to the ends.

 

I just love this beautiful Chip board. I think the striped paper from

the Stampin Up's Big Top Patterned papers went so well with the 

collar and the young girls sailor outfit. I love using the paper lace 

doyleys and have placed one behind the photo.

 

I cant help myself with pearls. The minute the picture is old I

have my mind thinking if it can have pearls on it. The scroll I 

have done my journal writing on is a Quick Kutz parchment 

scroll and again I have used Stampin Up ink - Crumb Cake.

                                   The small flowers are from Crafters Paper Flower Range.

To Our Daughter

 

I just love doing the 3D cards. They are a lot of fun 

to do for a change. They come up so cute.

A fiend asked me to do this one for her daughter.

She loved it and her daughter did too.

I have placed it in the challenge at

Whoos TROUBLE

 

I have done this layout for the next challenge in my DT position 

for Beyond Grey Challenges. 

It is Challenge #28 All Boy/Masculine 

And yes it is hosted by none other than me. 

 http://beyondgrey.blogspot.com.au/

 

I just loved doing this layout. But I always do when it comes to 

my boys. I could scrap them all the time. These pics were taken

at the movies in a photo booth. The boys had so much fun with

all the faces. They all wanted to have made the best but when

printed Riley and their friend Ethan had no hope against Harley.

The one where he was pretending to put his finger up his nose 

was the winner. "Yuk Button, your are disgusting"

 

I have used a range of things for this layout. Kaiser Craft - 

Wood Flourish Plaque, Crackle stamp, Patterned papers (Empire 

Collection), Patterned paper mix, Card stock, Jenni B collection

- paper owls, Stampin' Up ink - Chocolate and my ever loved

Slick writer.

  

So ladies pop on over to Beyond Grey Challenges and have a 

look at the other DT girls work. They have done some awesome

work for this challenge. While there join in on the fun and be in 

the running for 5 free digital Whimsy Stamps of your choice.
