Kaisercraft Storyteller for All About Scrapbooks / Scrap Around The World May moodboard

Hi everyone,
Today I'm back to share another layout I've created with the gorgeous
Kasiercraft Storyteller collection.   This is another Kaisercraft collection that I really LOVE

 
"Cherish"



This one is a little bit different for me...clean straight lines.  But I do love to mix things up a bit.
 
 
My layout was inspired by the May moodboard over at Scrap Around The World..,.in particular, the gorgeous colours of yellow, teal green, the apricoty colour (under the shoes) and the red/deep pink :)
 
This months mood board at Scrap Around The World is to celebrate their 1st Birthday...so they are having an EPIC challenge!   Lots of BIG prizes up for grabs, so make sure you give this one a go!
 
This is the moodboard that I took inspiration from....
 
 
 
 
 
And here are a few close ups 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
  
Aren't the colours & patterns of this collection just gorgeous?  I think they are...and they are so versatile for any style/theme of layout.  Gotta love that!
 
 
You can see my blogpost which includes a list of products used, plus techniques, over on the AAS blog HERE.  Thanks so much for dropping by today...happy weekend everyone! xx

Kaisercraft Design Team 2014 Entry

Hello everyone...and welcome to my blog today.
 
I am here to share some of my recent creations using a few different Kaisercraft collections,
as part of my 2014 design team application :))))
 
First up is a beyond the page item - A standing shape - Butterfly
 
 
"Dream"

I have used paper & collectables from the "Art of Life" collection, as well as some tiny pieces from the Base Coat collection for my punched butterflies.
 
 
 

I've created a cluster of paper blooms with some of the Art of Life collectables as the base of my cluster, with some added diecut leaves & some pieces of muslin.
 
 
 

Branching out from the cluster is a wooden flourish - Berry Vine, with some stamping underneath & around the cluster using Tiny Dot texture stamp.
 
 
 

And here is a rubon from a very old pack that I've had in my stash for quite some years!
(I really should use rubons more often!)
 
 
 
Ok, my next project is a layout using the newly released "Story Teller" collection
 
 
"The 12 Apostles"

I have purposely picked out the gorgeous blue papers from this collection
to help co-ordinate with my photo of the 12 Apostles, and the fact that there is a little hint of a golden yellow there on the main background piece was an added bonus!
 
 

I've added some paper blooms, collectables diecuts & some pearl flourishes to create my main cluster....and there's also a Green Tara flower in there as well.
 
 
 

and again for a smaller cluster at the top right of the photo.
 
 
 

My title & a bit of strip journaling...at both the top & bottom of the page.
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
And now for a couple of cards using last months release of Honey Chai

Using a mix of layered papers, stickers & collectables diecuts.
 
 




 


 
 
 
Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my work...I hope you have enjoyed your visit today.
 
Until next time...happy scrapping :) xx

Another layout using "The Pier" collection for All About Scrapbooks/Scrap Africa May sketch

Hi everyone, and welcome :)
 
Today I have another layout to share using "The Pier" collection by Crate Paper for
All About Scrapbooks.  I've gone for a different themed layout for this one to help show just how versatile this collection is - It is an outdoorsy one from our trip along The Great Ocean Road.
 
 
"Take a walk on the wild side"
 
Love that woodgrain paper as the background & I had fun with a bit of texture paste stencilling
 
 
 
Here is the Scrap Africa sketch...created by Denise Van Deventer
 
 
 
 
And a few close ups...

 
 

 
 

 I also love that 2Crafty Circle revolution frame <3...perfect for the SA sketch!
 
 
More details can be seen over on the AAS blog HERE, so please pop on over for a visit :)
 
Thanks so much for dropping by today...enjoy your weekend peeps!  xx

Crate Paper "The Pier" for All About Scrapbooks / Scrap365 May sketch

Hi everyone & welcome :)
Wow, what a chilly one we have had here today!  It didn't quite reach 10 C :-O...and actually snowed not too far from here.  It was a good day to be inside & get some
scrapping done...and cook chicken soup! lol
 
Today I'm sharing my first layout created as part of my May DT work for All About Scrapbooks - using Crate Paper's "The Pier" collection.  There's so many fun colours & patterns in this collection that would suit any theme of layout.
 
 
The Carousel
based on the Scrap365 May sketch

I just love the colours of this page...and thought they well suited my carousel photos from a quick trip to Luna Park in St Kilda a few years ago.  As I mentioned previously, these papers would suit any theme of layout...but would go especially well with Fair/Fun Park type layouts :)
 
 
Here is the scrap365 sketch
 
As you can see...I've jiggled things around a bit!  lol
But I'm sure you can still see the sketch in there...right?!
 
 
 
Here's a few close ups
 
 
 
 


 
 
 
 I really LOVE how this background work turned out! :)

You can see more details of techniques & products used over on the AAS blog HERE
Plus a few more close ups as well :)
 
Thanks so much for dropping by....and for any comments you may leave (I really do appreciate them)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone....xx
