Chipboard

Well who doesn't like all the yummy chipboard thats around.. I can't seem to get enough, whether it be Twiddleybitz, Kaisercraft, RW laser or Dusty Attic chipboard products, florishes and ornate corners, heck just about all the Twiddleybitz & Dusty stuff I have. I am in love with the new DA frame sets and can't wait to do a layout using them. Below are two chipboard products I had been working and playing with and finally added a few finishing touches, thought I would share as I seem to have neglected my blog of late. Hope to rectify this and get into a habit of posting 2-3 times a week.

Kaiser Memo Board,  Aubergine paper Blooms, Prima Blossoms, RWlaser butterfly, DA swirl, and

Kaiser Pearls.

Twiddleybitz Small Single Cupcake stand.

Kaiser paint, Jo Sonja's Crackle medium, Beaded trim, Kaiser Paper Blooms &

tiny handmade flowers by me, Kaiser pearl strips, Hat pins.

Cupcake I purchased at a craft fair, so cute!

Thanks for dropping by, we are now in the start of Winter here and its getting cold so I can think of nothing better than to be tucked up in a warm home, fire burning, glass of red and scrapping into the wee hours.

Two more...

I have many favourites in my scrapping collection as I am sure we all do, but I really do love Webster Pages and DA chipboard products. I seem to be using more and more these days. As much as I love all the Prima goodness I enjoy making my own flowers, these I think can be easily matched to you layout but I guess if all else fails there is another fav... glimmer mist lol! Still trying to scrap the photos from our day at the park way back in January, this is my eldest son and his girlfriend acting the fool and having fun, you really could see the love! :)

Webster Pages - Your life, beautiful, DA chipboard stained and UTEE'd, heart shaped doily, handmade roses dusted with Twinklets Diamond dust (love this stuff!), leaves, Stickpin & beads.

a closer look at the embellies!

This layout is another using the resist papers from Parisian Anthology. These are such fun papers to work with, either using mists or inks. I used a bit of both :) I have a tendency to detress my edges at the moment, a phase maybe, I really like the effect.

Parisian Anthology Lovely Lace, Tattered Angels chalkboard Peacock mist, TH's distress ink Tumbled Glass, Kaiser flowers White, Kaiser gems, Vintage Lace, Making Memories Metal word (Old!), Page stones, bookplate, Butterfly, Doily, Key Charm.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, love reading all your wonderful comments so please keep them coming, really makes my day :)

more Kaiser

Here is the 2nd LO using Kaisercraft paper I did but have yet to put a title on. I don't know why I find it hard sometimes to come up with the right title! Do you have the same problem? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Again this is my sweet little princess, photos are from a visit to the park early on in the year, she is just such a cutie!

Using Liliac Avenue Collection, Kaiser tag, Collection Butterflies and Prima flowers, String Pearls, bling etc

close ups :)

I have almost completed a Kaiser noteboard, just need a few finishing touches before I share and I was hoping to complete the hollow book as the altered OTP project - this is still a work in progress and I will share shortly, its coming along nicely and is sooo much fun :)

Thank you for taking the time to drop in and I would love to hear/read your comments. Thanks for looking!



kaiser

Well I never got around to putting in any progects for the Kaiser DT, just been really busy and scrapping and craft time has been very limited just recently but I did make an effort. I made this layout quite a few weeks back, the DT short list was announced last week and the work and projects are simply stunning! I love Kaiser paper and products, especially their chipboard and OTP! This is the first LO of my sweet little princess who just turned 4!

Using Kaiser Loire Valley Collection, Prima vines and flowers, Collection brackets and Stickles.
I 3d' the birds and the large flower. I like how this is simple.

couple of close ups.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

Yay..

bloggers finally back up... after being down for the last couple of days.. isn't it always the way, just when I had the time and opportunity to update after being busy (May is an extremely busy month for me!  full of birthdays, anniversaries and not to forget Mother's Day!) and those aat blogger decided to do maintenance but something went wrong... so glad its back up and running, I really enjoy visiting everyones blog, leaving comments and most of all getting inspiration :)

So as I am having a lazy relaxing Sunday I am going to update and then go check out all the wonderful blogs I follow :) wishing you all a great day too.

Hollow book...

I have seen a few of these books done and they look fantastic... so I decided I would give one a go! Found a nice sized hard cover book at the local secondhand book shop, didn't dare tell the lovely lady what I intended on doing to it!

I paused momentarily to appreciate the book I was about to destroy, feeling a little guilty! Grabbed the gladwrap, tiger glue and my craft knife and set to task having fun like a school kid.

I covered the outside and pages I didn't want altered or glued with gladwrap. Then applied loads and loads of tiger grip glue to the edges and then put on something heavy, in this case my container of dabber paints and detress inks.

Waiting for it to dry took what seemed like ages!!

Cutting out all the inside pages took some time and a few blade changes! First few I used a metal ruler but once I got down a few layers it was easy to just follow the edges.

and this is how it looks before I begin to alter it!

Hope to be able to spend time on it in the next few days!

Thanks for dropping by. Have a great day!

Precious...

from my eldest to my youngest...all my babies are precious!! We do alot of 4x4driving and this photo of my baby Baby was taken while up at Edah Station last year in October. The kids loved the trip as they got to see how a station operates and the old machinery used, nothing like what gets used these days. Lots of bush walking, driving and plenty of things to discover. Hope to go back up one day...

Using Websterpages Your Life. Beuatiful I cut out the little birdcage and inked the edges, distressed then inked the edges of the paper, placed on Green Bazzill. Used Prima blossom and flowers, some from a very old stash! The white ones match the paper so I just added a half pearl and stickled it yellow. Lace around the photo was a bargin at the Railwat Markets (love that place!) added DA mini word and tiny birds. Paper Doily and Kaiser pearls.

Close up of some of the flowers and cut work.

Thanks for stopping on by. School holidays start tomorrow and include the Easter break. Don't know that I will get alot of free time to scrap but there are always the monthly crop nights :) I am working on a hollow book, so much fun and hope to post my progress in a day or two.

Have a fantastic day!
