A new look!

No - not me (sadly) but you have to check out Anna's Craft Cupboard website - she is lookin' GOOD!
And the new sketch is up too - haven't had a chance to do my version of it yet but thought you may want a jump start on a challenge - prize is $40 Anna's Craft voucher + free postage. And omg - all the new CHA stuff - you will WANT a voucher!LOL.

Kaiser sketch

The new sketch is up on the Kaisercraft blog and this week was mine and Christine's turn - and I had to laugh when I saw Christine's as we did pretty similar pages!LOL. We must both love Devonshire!



If you do a LO based on any of the sketches and upload to the Kaisercraft gallery you can win a fabulous prize pack!

just a couple..

Just one for Claire's album of her and my mum on New Year's Eve - using Webster's Pages, Jenni Bowlin Butterflies (LURVE these!!LOL), Cosmo alphabet and some more Kaisercraft Devonshire embellishment pack.(all available at Anna's Craft too - with exception of that exact piece of Websters' - but there's some really similar stuff in the store.)

Here's one using some Jillibean Soup - available at Anna's Craft Cupboard

Honest to god, you have to check out the store at the moment as she has got so much new CHA stuff it - I myself am avoiding it - I'm supposed to be saving for a house!LOL

Kaisercraft LO's

Here's my LO's from the January Q3 releases - the "Made With Love" and "Shaken Not Stirred" ranges.
This is using the Made with Love papers, die-cuts, alphabet stickers, chipboard alphabet, embellishment pack (felt thingies and ribbon)and stamps ("love")




And this is my "Shaken Not Stirred" LO using the papers, die-cuts, embellishment pack (brads), alphabet stickers, chipboard alphabet from that range.


And remember - Anna's Craft Cupboard sells everything in both these ranges as well as the new Feb releases "Devonshire" and "La Di Da".
And can I just say that Devonshire is my ALL TIME fave release from Kaisercraft - absolutely beautiful and I'm completely in love with the embellishment pack. But you are not allowed to go and buy them all before I put in another order at Anna's! LOL

One last LO...

from the "Afterthoughts" kit I was sent from Scrapbooking From Scratch which you can find HERE.
I just love how versatile this kit is!

Step-by-step

My latest step-by-step is up on Anna's Craft Cupboard HERE. blog
I've used Pink Paislee Amber Road papers to create this - including the very simple memorabilia pocket.

Kaisercraft Drawers

Now I must say - I was pleasantly surprised by these drawers - I thought the actually drawers were small-ish from the pictures I'd seen on the internet, but let me tell you - they are a decent size.
As you can see I've labelled them and honestly I would not fill the drawers with the butterflies and hearts EVER. And if measurements mean nothing to you (like me - I need 'visuals') - for example I have 3 rolls of 7Gypsies gaffer tape in one drawer and could fit 3 more - so one drawer can fit 6 rolls of gaffer tape!
My mother-in-law and sister-in-law were there when I was making them and they were just as impressed with them and are going to buy some. The cool thing too - is that they would stack on top on one really easily and I want more so I can do this!




I've decorated mine with the Shaken Not Stirred Kaisercraft range - I love the deep red in this range and also the grey graphy type papers.

Kaisercraft ink

With all the new Q3 stuff that Kaiser has brought out, they have released 12 new ink colours. Check out the BLOG today to see a tutorial I did on one way to use them. (credit for the idea goes to Heidi Swapp though!)

Here's some Christmas LO's using Cosmo Cricket "Jolly By Golly" papers and ribbon
American Crafts thickers
Basic Grey June Bug chipboard alphas
Collections chipboard shapes






And hey, on a weird note - just noticed my visitor counter has reset itself/dropped down somehow? LOL.
