Pocket Scrapbooking with Kaisercraft Hello Sunshine - Scottie Crafts

 This week I am using the Hello Sunshine Collection to do some pocket scrapbooking.  I used a 4x4 pocket protector from the WRMK multi pack.  It is a fun size, although a little awkward if you are using precut 3x4 cards, I had to do a bit of trimming and jigging.

As you can see though it looked really cool once it was all finished.

After printing my photos I matted them onto a mx of co-ordinating cardstock and 4x3 Project Life White Cardstock cards.

I then cut my 12x12 into 9 peices of 4x4, then trimmed to mat onto cardstock.  I added my photos and then embellished with alphas, washi tape and stickers.

I used both the A & B sides of the 12x12 to mix the patterns up.

The end result is fun and colourful and perfect for pocket scrapping as it is interesting to look at. 

Thanks loads for joining me today - Happy Scrapping :)

A Valentines for Hubbster

So I was feeling like I REALLY needed to create something this afternoon. It is too hot outside and my craft room is nice and cool :)  So with it having been Valentines Day on Friday I decided to make hubby a card....

I have used an image from A Day for Daisies called Mailing Love printed on watercolour paper and coloured with prismapencils.  The papers are My Minds Eye "Love Me" from a 6x6 pad.  The cardstock is American Crafts.

Above is a close up of the coloured image you can see I dotted around the image with liquid pearls.

The stamping was done with a stampset from Elles Studio  called Love You More which came in the February Noel Mignon scrapbook kit, I have used Stampin Up ink in Groovy Guava and Riding Hood Red.

This photo is a close up of the flowers which came from Wild Orchid Crafts in the UK, the prices are really reasonable and the shipping is very cheap internationally.  I added some Frosted Lace stickles to the flowers with a paintbrush to add some shine.

Thanks loads for dropping by today, I hope you are having a lovely weekend :)

KaiserCraft Hello Sunshine Collection - Mon 2 Fri Layout

Hello, Tuesday again already and a very good day for me to be posting this layout as my lovely big boys are back to school today.
I have used their school photo from last year for this layout, the image is owned by PHOTOLIFE STUDIOS.
I have used the super cute new Hello Sunshine collection by Kaisercraft for my layout...

To save on cardstock I layered my green chevron paper onto the 12x12 sheet and cut it out with a scalpel before layering my Giggle paper (black checks) on and sticking down.

 I stamped the banner and pennants from the Hello Sunshine stampset in versamark on black cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder to give the look of a blackboard, I also used an off cut of black and hand printed letters with a picket fence distress marker....

And then layered all my elements and added some pieces from the Hello Sunshine collectables.

Thanks loads for joining me today, happy scrapping :)

Scotties Crafts - Violet Crush - Precious Layout

Hello - time for my layout this week for Scottie Crafts :)  This is my last week designing with the fantastic Kaisercraft Violet Crush Collection  which looks like it is selling well in the shop as there aren't many links left.  I have used a photo of my daughter when she was just a little dot and her Nana....

I made a base of white cardstock and cut a peice of 12x12 Musk paper to size.  I layered lots of my leftover pieces of papers from the collection and a couple from the 6x6 paper pad.   I also added a doilie to my layers.  I also used some Prima flowers in the corners.

I cut the strip that has the paper name up as a journalling as it had this lovely quote on the reverse which matched my photo perfectly.

I added a couple of strips out of the collectables package from the Violet Crush collection under the photo.

Thanks for joining me this week, happy scrapping :)

Scotties Crafts - Kaisercraft Violet Crush Layout - Time Tested

Today I would like to share a layout of my good friend Becks and I, made using the Kaisercraft Violet Crush collection.  We have been friends since we met at boarding school the day we started way back in 1990 :)  We catch up at Christmas every year when she comes home to see her mum and dad.

To start my background I screwed off the top of a mist and painted it on the white cardstock  under where my photo layer would be so it was going to show out the sides....

 I then chose a butterfly from Stacy Stamps Butterfly Free set and painted some picket fence distress paint on it with a paintbrush so it was well covered....

 I then worked out the placement and stamped it on the corner of my painted section being sure it would show one the photo layer was stuck down.....

I gave the whole lot a quick dry with my heatgun to be sure that my adhesive would stick.  I then put down my photo and layers which I had assembled earlier which include papers from the 6x6 pad and violet crush collectables.

I then added my title and stamped the date....

Thanks loads for joining me today :)  Happy Scrapping.
