Just a couple..

A quick share - this top one is using the gorgeous Anthology line from Studio Calico available from Anna's Craft Cupboard.
I love those Fab Rips - but they are now sold out :(.

This one is using the Jillibean Soup "Egg Drop Soup" range also available at Anna's Craft - I really really love this range - in particular that light blue paper although in both LO's I've done using it (the other one you can see HERE)I've noticed it doesn't photograph well - it goes really pale in the photos - but in real life it's gorgeous!

Just wondering if any WA girls are going to Becky Fleck in May - I'm thinking about going (if I can get in) and was wondering who I could catch up with there?? Let me know!

Kaiser stuff

A few more projects from our Kaiser blogging week.
Oh - and I had a couple of people ask me where they could get the stamps I used in my "Circus" lo in the previous post. They are called "Dated" and are available at Anna's Craft Cupboard right about HERE.
And they look like this - I personally LOVE them - especially that circle stamps which I use a LOT.

A very simple LO using "Pack Your Bags" range.

and some OTP's using Devonshire.

Oops - forgot the new sketch!

Just remembered I hadn't put up the new sketch at Anna's Craft Cupboard yet. Upload a LO to Anna's gallery using this sketch designed by Wendy Smith by the end of April to go in the draw to win a $40 voucher with free postage

Watch out..

Sam Hauzer and I have control of the Kaisercraft blog again this week - so if it should suddenly disappear due to human error I can probably safely say that would be me!LOL. While we are waiting to recieve our new lot of Q4 goodies, we are blogging Lo's done with the Q3 stuff - and tomorrow we are even going back a bit more and blogging a couple of previous ranges.
Here are some of my LO's that have been on so far - using Devonshire and Shaken Not STirred.

Step-by-Step

My latest step-by-step is up on the Anna's Craft blog.
Using the Crate Paper Pink Plum sparkle layered chipboard and stitching and a design element.

New stuff..

Just got a gorgeous pack of stuff from Anna's Craft Cupboard - omgolly goodness - lovin' it all!
Here's a LO I did today at my weekly crop day in town.
This one uses some October Afternoon paper, American Crafts Dear Lizzy paper, American Crafts Dear Lizzy dimensional stickers, Studio Calico Anthology alpha stickers

Also - you may have heard of Leeann Pearce?? She's an awesome scrapper - and currently on the Creative Team at SBM. She also happens to be a friend of mine and has opened a shop on Etsy full of her funky funky stuff. Check her out - you won't be sorry. It's over HERE. Even if it's just window shopping - it's fun to look at!!

Ok - might even put the kids to bed and scrap some more tonight with my new goodies - Bradley is at footy training tonight and staying in town so what better opportunity??

omg

Our power is finally back on (and phone) after being hit by lightning in the big WA storm - after 61 hours!! No power here means no water either - it's been a long 61 hours!

Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety

Just a couple of LO's using the new Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety papers.

I just HAD to use them for this LO of my Dad's vegie garden. If you knew my Dad at all you would know that we are all surprised that he has started this garden - and on such a small scale. Dad is a retired (har har - not very retired...) farmer and we had visions of this garden out on the farm in a market garden fashion as when Dad does something, he does it big!
So it was a nice surprise that he's limited himself to the 'actual' garden at the house - although he has to know EVERYTHING about everything and I guarantee he would be able to tell you his fertiliser ratio just like that!LOL.
The top photo is proof of his 'thoroughness' (I think my mum would call it something else?? maybe obsessive??). He HAD to know how much water was coming out of each dripper and at what rate so he had buckets and eskies lined up to gauge it!LOL.
I tell you - his brain never stops!

Everything available at Anna's Craft Cupboard.

Jillibean Soup

I am loving the new Jillibean Soup papers, alphas and stickers available now at Anna's Craft Cupboard
The stickers particularly I was pleasantly surprised at (HERE). Most times when I buy these type of stickers I always have a bunch left over that I don't use - but these ones I think I will use all of them! Bold words hey?? They have scalloped borders, file tabs, alphabet stickers (I know! cool huh??), ones shaped like buttons - not to mention the journalling ones. Anyhoo - sorry - just thought I'd share my most recent 'fun' discovery....

Crate Paper "Pink Plum"

Also in my design team pack from Anna this month there was some Crate Paper "Pink Plum" papers and embellishments(sparkle layered chipboard is the technical name!) - I'm not usually a glittery girl but I just LOVED how soft and girly it is with the Niki Riki pink thickers that Anna had put with them!
This is one of my Lo's and I've done another but you'll have to wait until later in month to see that one.

Scribble Scrabble

In my DT pack this month from Anna's Craft Cupboard I got some of the Scribble Scrabble "Nana's Trunk" papers - I haven't used this brand before and I love them!

New Kaiser ranges

Here are my latest Lo's using the new March release Kaisercraft papers.
This is using the "Gypsy Sisters" range - papers, alphabet stickers, die-cuts and a journalling spot cut out of the freebie section of the Kaiser Q3 magazine.



And this is using the Peachy Keen range - papers, die-cuts, alphabet stickers, rub-on and embellishment pack.

Available in stores now - including Annas Craft Cupboard over HERE.

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.

More LO's from SFS

that I did with the "Afterthoughts" kit from Scrapbooking From Scratch - excellent value for money! Check it out HERE - you get heaps of stuff in it for only $30!

Feb Sketch at Anna's Craft

Here's the latest sketch designed by Wendy Smith. Just use this sketch to do a LO, upload to the gallery by the end of the month and be in the draw to win a $40 voucher including free postage!


Here's my take on the sketch using October Afternoon Nightlight papers, October Afternoon 'weathervane' alpha stickers, American Crafts 'cinnamon' thickers and Pink Paislee journalling spot - all available at Anna's Craft.
Oh - and by the way - I've 'mirrored' the sketch.

A new month, a new kit from SFS

This month Peta from Scrapbooking From Scratch was kind enough to let me play with her latest kit which you can find HERE.
These are a couple of the pages I've done with it - I created 5 pages with the kit with heaps to spare so it's excellent value for just $30.
