Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 23 -Think Spring

Well I am back from Holidays and trying to get back to reality, such a shame I cant look out the windows and see the beach, maybe one day I will be able to....this is the view we woke up to every morning overlooking Kings Beach at Caloundra.

Well over at Cheery Lynn Designs they have had a bit of a change they now have two blogs one called the Cheery Lynn Designs Inspiration Blog and then the new Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog.
So one is obviously for inspiration and the other is for the challenges, although they are both awesome blogs to follow.
So here is my card for the Think Spring Challenge,
I have used Fanciful Flourish B117 and Small Lace Faerie Queen w/Angel Wing DL 161, I made this whilst on holidays so I was limited as to products to use on the card as I couldn't take everything with me. You can see most of the dies at Scrappy-go-Lucky.

The wooden Bird Cage Flourish is from Kaiser and other bits and pieces I took with me.

A close up of the gorgeous Butterfly it also comes with the wing to use on the back.

Well hope you like my card and I will be back with a few more projects that I am working on very soon.

Cheers Shelley

STRUT YOUR CUTS WEEK # 8

Well another week has gone by I cant believe how fast the year is going. Mandy has changed a few things for the Strut Your Cuts Challenge so hop on over to Scrappy-Go-Lucky and see what she has done.
I have 3 of the cartridges this week, Ornamental Iron, Designer's Calendar and Heritage.
I have used Heritage for the whole layout apart from the word March which is from Designer's Calendar.
The corner flourishes are on page 62, the Lamp on page 41 and I have used the shadow feature to give them a bit more depth and I think it gives the lamp a slight glow. This paper is from a DCWV The Lace & Linen Stack which I have had for a few months and thought it suited the older wedding photo's of my Mum and Dad.

I have used the the Fence on page 44, cutting it out twice so I could mount it onto the page, and the small flourish is page 63. I have added some Kaiser Pearls and Prima Flowers just to bling it up a little.

Here is it as a double page layout,

What a coincidence that they were married in 1956 and this year will be celebrating 56 years of marriage.

I hope that I will be able to do the same sort of layout for my husband and myself when we celebrate 56 years of marriage.

Enjoy Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch October # 1

Well okay I have gone backwards with the Kaiser Saturday Sketch #1 for October. But this layout will match the last one I did with Shelby at her Formal. I have used the same Kaiser Paper Sakura Park, punched out some flowers added some bling and the pretty Lamp Post. I used Kaiser Rub-ons for the word Family and added some ribbon to curl at the ends.
Everything on this page is Kaiser except for the Silver Card stock and ruffled Ribbon.

This is the sketch,

Here is a close up of the Lamp Post that I coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and

of course added a little Bling.

I am of to Monteville for the weekend with my dear Friends Karin and Mavis, so I am trying to pack all my craft stuff and not take to much HA HA that's a joke.

Enjoy your weekend

Kaiser Saturday Sketch's #4

This is another page for Heath's Album using all Kaiser Paper in Party Animals and the last June Sketch. I have enjoyed this months sketches to start the album and I have got some great ideas to keep going.

This is Heath with his Grandad at the party, just look at the love in their eyes.

Enjoy Shelley

Another Llittle Box

This is another little box that I have made for 2 challenges this week.
The first is for Totally Tilda Challenge is anything but a card, but you do have to use Magnolia Stamps.
The second is for Just Magnolia Challenge  Butterfly theme using Magnolia or Hanglar & Stanglar images.
So I bought this little box awhile ago thinking I would use it for something, don't we all have those sorts of things floating around in our craft rooms, well at least I am getting to use one of them.

I used Magnolia's Tilda as a Butterfly Stamp and Open Gate, I have used a Martha Stewart around the page  Punch to make the leaf shape and added some Kaiser Rhinestones, Flowers and Butterfly Flourishes.

I also used Spellbinders Nestabilities for the edge of the box. I am not sure where I am going to put it but I am sure I will find somewhere.
Cheers Shelley

Card and Recipe Boxes

Well finallly after a few months of looking at these gorgeous boxes at Michelle Cards &Stamps where I go once as month to make various cards. Michelle decided to do an all day workshop to make them. Of course we couldn't decide on which one we wanted to make so we did both. If you head over to there website they have an enormous range of Magnolia Stamps, which I am getting quite a collection of. I have talen the photos from different angles so there are quite a few.So without keeping you in suspense any longer here is the first one for Cards.

And the Blue on for a Recipe Box.

And here are the two of them together.

I hope you enjoy looking at these two boxes as much as I enjoyed making them.

Head over to Michelles Cards and Stamps for any more information.

Cheers Shelley

These are the colours that you had to use and this is my Layout. I have used Kaiser papers and Rub ons Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Punches lace and flowers.

Totally Tilda Challenge Blog

Well this time at  Totally Tilda Challenge, is Tilda's Trio of Tags, we have to make 3 tags with Tilda on each Tag.
So here are my 3 Tags, I am getting so many cards with all of these challenges and the card classes I go to so this time I am going to give these away to some special friends. I have used lots of craft stuff on these little Tags, Copics, Kaiser paper, flowers, ribbon, rhinestones, Doily Dies, (you can purchase these from Scrappy-Go-Lucky),Nestabilities, Tags Bags Boxes and more for the Tag shape, and Glitter.

 Here is a close up of the 3 Tags

Give Away

I would like to reach 50 follower's, and I have some prizes to give away. Some become a follower and leave a comment so you can win in the random draw. These are some of the prizes you will win, there will be a Stamp, Die Cuts and Letters in each set of Kaiser Dear Santa or Christmas Carnival.

My daughter had a 21st to go to this weekend and she asked me to make the card and she wanted a little bag or box to put the pressie in so this is what I came up with.

I used Kaier Utopia Paper Pad for most of it and added some cardstock, ribbon and of course used one of my new flowers that I got from the Craft Expo. I changed the colour of the lace using a Copic Marker.

I couldn't leave the back of the bag plain so I just added this to the back.

I hope she liked it.

Cheers Shelley

ETC - Kaiser with Melissa and Alison

Here is a double page spread I did at Kaiser Browns Plains today, with Melissa Kennedy and Alison Hannah. They are both wonderful teacher's both with different ideas, we had a lovely morning trying all sorts of techniques.
We used English Rose Paper Collection, made our own flowers as well as using the Kaiser Paper Blooms.
We used the paper and cut it into strips and added the embellishments, lace and inked all the edges. There was so much to do so I finished mine at home.

We used a product called Diamond Dust (Twinklets) on the flowers, you have to be very careful as it is actually cut glass.

I hope you like what we did.

Cheers Shelley

Just a few Cards

Hello these are just a few of the Cards that I made on Wenesday at Moorooka Callagriphic Arts and then Thursday at Michelle's Cards & Stamps.
This one is done with Nestabilities, and just the right paper and you have a birthday card.

EK Success Punch and Nestabilites

This one is very simple using the Cuttlebug and a few square's a bit of ribbon and the lovley Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime Collection paper.

Go and see Renata at Moorooka she has lots of new papers and is now keeping Martha Stewart Punches.

The next 5 are from today's class with Robyn we used Nestabiliities Heart Shapes

This one is stamped and we then the dress is cut out of paper. We have used Distress Ink Pads and glitter.

Copic Markers were used for this one and we had to stamp the butterfly 4 times and cut it out 3 times to get this effect.

Once again this is stamped and cut out twice and then colured with Distress Ink and a Blender Pen

This one is my Favorite, its a Sizzix Die Cut for the bird and the bird cage.

The paper in the background is actually stamped with Kaiser's English Rose Stamp Set and then coloured in with a blender pen and using the Distressed Ink Pads.

Hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I enjoyed making them.

My best Friend lost her Dad last week and one of my other Friends has phoned, text or emailed me nearly everyday to see how we are all coping so this little verse is for her.

'Uncle Pete' you are forever in our hearts.

For all you do, for who you are, I will be forever grateful you are in my life."

Scrapbooking Pages

Here are 4 more of my Christmas pages I have done over the last few days. I am really loving using the Kaiser products on these pages and just adding bits a pieces.

I used Cricut Cartridge Home Accents and Kaiser Embellishments, and Stamps and  some kindy Glitz

This one used the Spellbinders Nestabilities to actually cut the photo's out.

I used the Cricut Cartridge Rock Princess to get the Guitar for the Boys.

They both got electric Guitar's for Christmas.

Hope you enjoy looking

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Scrapbook Pages

Can you believe I am a Kaiser Stockist and this is the first time I have used any Kaiser products in my Page layouts. So this is a first for me. I have used the Christmas Belle Collection and used my Cricut and Nestabilities to cut out the shapes. I have softened the edges of the Poinsettia's, with Creative Memories Chalking Ink.

I have got over 200 photo's from Christmas day to put into my Album so I have a lot of work ahead of me. I like to get a lot of photos onto the one page so hopefully I will only need one Album.

Cheers Shelley
