Kaiser Saturday Sketch April # 1

Well here is my layout for the Kaiser Saturday Sketch April # 1. I haven't done one of the challenges for awhile although I always seem to use Kaiser Paper in most of my projects.
I have used one of the new collections Fine and Sunny and Kaiser Cardstock for the background colours.
I have cheated a bit as I hate to waste paper so I have cut out the middle of each piece of cardstock so I could use it for the next layer, (green and blue).
I love using the 12 x 12 paper and adding the Paper Pad paper and cut outs that match each collection, and I have used the Die Cut Collectables for this layout as well.

Here is the Sketch we had to follow.

Well of to do a few more projects I seem to be on a roll at the moment.

Cheers Shelley

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 20 - Easter

I would just like to say a big thanks to Cheery Lynn Dies and to Jeannie, as I won a gorgeous Egg die called Lace egg Three, hop on over to Jeannie's blog she does some amazing work with Cheery Lynn.

Well as it say's Cheery Lynn Challenge Easter, can you believe that Easter is nearly here. We always go to Caloundra Sunshine Coast for holidays so I am starting to pack as we leave next weekend.
Here we go with my design for the challenge, I have once again used lots of dies so I will list them all.
A2 Frame Die Lattice FRM 115
Border Die Carnivale DL 129
Olive Branch B147
Tropical Leaves B119
Meduim Rose B154
Minature Rose B152
The links will take you over to Mandy at Scrappy-go-Lucky she has a great range of the Cheery Lynn Dies.
I have used Cricut Cartridge Doodlecharms to cut out the Easter eggs and a Stampin up punch for the tag. The little bird/chicken is from the new Kaiser collectables.
I have used a glass jar and cut the Lattice Die twice to wrap around the jar. The Border die Carnivale nearly fits around it I just had to cut and fit an extra piece.

A close up of the front, I love using the little leaves and branches they are so versatile and great to use as fillers.

The back of the jar, I didn't bother trimming the lattice die to fit because I thought it gave it a bit of character and the eggs just sit nicely at the back.

And for the lid of the jar I glued lots of the Medium Rose Die on the outer edge and then the Miniature Rose die on the inside. Of course adding a little bit of Kaiser bling to give it a bit of sparkle.

  I will possibly be back with another post next week but I will take this opportunity to say Happy Easter to all of you.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch January # 4

Well this is my last sketch for Kaiser's month of January, I have once again used the Hummingbird collection for this layout. The smaller paper paper pads come in handy for the background pieces and I have also used the 12 x 12 sheets. I have added some Kaiser chipboard letters and coloured them with Copic markers and then added some Glossy Accents. Loving the collectables once again and the wooden flourish was coloured with Tim Holtz distress ink.

I used the word Gift and have made a little journal box with the words-

I gave my Mum and Dad

a Gift of a few days

Holiday at Caloundra.

After all they have

given me the GIFT or their LOVE.

Here is the sketch.

Thanks so much for leaving me your lovely comments it really brightens my day.
Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch January # 3

Well as I said I would be back again today with another Kaiser Saturday Sketch.
This layout is made from the Hummingbird Collection, using the 12 x12 paper as well as the paper pads, and of course the New Collectibles.

I have also used the new Kaiser cardstock and the flowers I have just layered about 8 of them and scrunched them up.

Here is the sketch we had to work with.

Be back with no 4 tomorrow.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch January # 1

Well I am going to have to post each of my Kaiser sketches today, tomorrow and Tuesday to get them all in as I have finished the last one today.
So here is the layout for Saturday Sketch #1

Its a great layout for using up all your bits and pieces of scrap or even your Paper Pads they are just the right size and your not wasting the whole 12 x 12 page.

I am just loving Kaiser's new Cardstock as well it cuts with the Cricut beautifully and also used a couple of EK Success Punches on the page as well.

Sorry the photo is not real great I have been using my daughter's camera as I dropped mine and need to replace it.

Here is the sketch we had to work with.

Until tomorrow Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch October # 2

It is very hard to imagine that this gorgeous girl Shelby is 17 and all dressed up for her Year 12 Formal.
We have known her since she was born and we have watched her grow into a beautiful Young Lady.
I loved doing this Kaiser Sketch October # 2 as you could use 3 photo's and I love putting lots of photos on my pages. So this is done with an older paper called Sakura Park, I am not sure if you can still buy it but I wanted to use it because of the red and black colours.

I have used Doily Dies, Martha Stewart Punches, Nestabilities Dies, all Kaiser paper and of course lots of bling. Pop back in a few days as I have finished the Sketch for October # 1, and it will go into my album as this page's other half. The words are cut with Cricut Cartridge Forever Young.

This is the sketch we had to work with.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch September #4

As promised I am back again with Kaiser Sketch #4, This time I have used all of the December 25th Collection. I have used the 12 x 12 paper as well as some of the Paper Pad papers and embellishments. 

I have used Nestabillites for the fancy shape of the Holly and Cheery Lyn Dies for the round doily at the top of the page. I have also used my new Border maker from Creative Memories for the fence shape and then threaded through Kaiser paper.

I hope you like this one any comments you leave really make my day.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch September # 3

Back again with another Kaiser Saturday Sketch and tomorrow I will post # 4. I have used the Silly Season Collection for this layout. The bright colours are just perfect for the photo's. I have used the 12 x 12 paper and the Paper Pads for the smaller pieces. The wooden flourishes have been coloured with Copic Sketch Markers and so have the pearls as I wanted them to be red. I found some older Kaiser Christmas Baubles and I attached them to white cardstock so they would stand out a bit more.

I think you will agree little Heath is such a cute little boy to use on my layouts, I think I have scrapped him more than my own children lately.

This is the sketch we had to work with.

Enjoy Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch September 2

Black and Bling was the theme for Jordyn 21st, so of course I had to keep the theme going with my layout for Kaiser's Saturday Sketch # 2. I came across some older black and white paper called Argententella and adding that with the newer Black and White paper pad a little bit of silver card stock using Nestabilities and a Doily Die they all went really well together.
Plus the added bonus for me was I could add lots of bling, with some kindy glitz on the Kaiser flowers and the ones I made with Kaiser paper and strips of bling around the photo and here it is my Black and Bling page.

A close up of the flowers

Here is the sketch.

Jordyn had a prize for the Bling King and Bling Queen and guess what I WON the Bling Queen, I am pretty well known for all of my costume jewellery and of course my watches which is at around 130 or more at the moment. I did tell Jordyn and Tracey I was out to win.

Cheers Shelley.

Kaiser Monday Make Up Sketch

Well here is my take on the first sketch for the month of September, they had computer problems so they have named this one Kaiser Monday Make Up Sketch.
This is my daughter Jessie at her friend Natasha's 21st Birthday Party the theme was 1950's.
I have used my favourite paper Kaiser's  English Rose using both of the 12 x 12 and the paper pads.I got  some new Spellbinders Shapeabilities on Wednesday so I have put them to use already. The flowers have been made with the New Spiral Blossom 1 no S4-351 and the other shapes are with the new Ironwork Motifs no S5-059. The very delicate leaves are done with the Die-Namics Fancy Flourish.

This is a close up of the flowers they are so easy to do with the Spiral Blossom Die Cut.

This is the Kaiser Sketch

This is the New Spiral Blossom 1 no S4-351

And this one is  Ironwork Motifs no S5-059

I have also used some of the New Kaiser Sparklets and the smaller Mini Paper Blooms.

Look what I got in the mail today my order of more Cheery Lyn Doilies & Exotic Dies from Mandy at Scrappy-Go-Lucky, I am of to have a play with them now.

Cheers Shelley

Fathers Day Card's

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there in Blog Land. I thought I would show you the few that I have been doing tonight, they are really quick ones and all of them are done with Cricut Fathers Day Cartridge.
This one was made on Friday night by my son's girlfriend Ashley for her Dad with a little bit of help from me.

This one is for my hubby Gary, I used Kaiser paper for the background and cut out the wave shapes and added a rubon with a sparklet in the corner.

This one is for my Father-in-law, also using Kaiser paper,

This one I have been working on during the week, that's why there is a lot more detail in it.

I have used a couple of different Cricut Cartridges for this one, My World, Going Places and Storybook.

Kaiser Paper Pads again and I have embossed the cloud with embossing folder tiny Bubbles.

I made this one into an easel card so it really looks like the plane which is supposed to represent a Tiger Moth is in the air flying. My Sister's and Brother and myself all put in and got my Dad a 30 minute flight in one I wonder if her will guess what is it. If he doesn't I will have the voucher in there as well.

I hope you enjoy looking at these cards and please leave a comment as I love to read them.

I will be back tomorrow or Monday with a project I have been working on for a special friend.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch August # 4

Here is my layout for the last Kaiser sketch for the month.
I have used an older paper this time, although its not that old. Homemade Collection was perfect for this layout as it has a lot of  Family saying's and because it was for Daniels 30Th birthday I wanted blue and brown colours.

I wanted the little squares with the family names on them to use on the bottom of the page.

I cut these out of the 6" Paper Pad and used foam mounting tape to lift them up a little.

I showed my Mum and Dad this layout today and they were quite surprised that I had done this layout already as the Party was only the day before which was Sunday. Its great having your own printer you can upload and print your photos straight away.
Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch August # 2

Well I did say I would be back with Kaiser's August Sketch no 2 and this is it.
I love the opportunity to be able to scrap or make cards using different brands of paper and when you actually see layouts or cards done with them, you can see that we all have our own unique ideas and interpretations. I love way the Hunt and Gather can be used it many different ways and not just for Camping or Fishing you just have to think outside the square.

I have used one of the 12 x 12 sheets of paper and the Paper Pads and Embellishments.

The stickers are from the Sticker Sheet that matches even the banner in the corner.

I have printed out the story and then brushed it over with Tim Holtz Distress Ink, to give it a dirty look.

 Just a little tip if you put powder on the back of a sticker it stops it from sticking.

 I was then able to use some mounting foam on the back of the bird to lift it up a bit.

Thanks so much for all your lovely comments,

 Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch August # 3

Well I am back with the Kaiser Challenge for August no 3, I have done no 2 but I wanted to put this one up as its another one of our Dear Aunt.
When Jessie was little every time, Aunty Buster saw her she always had a little packet of Smarties to give her. This is one of those special moments that will always be with Jessie and she will remember forever.
This photo was taken at Christmas time 1993 when Jessie was 3 years old and she is unwrapping her pressie and she was looking for those Smarties.

I have used Kaiser's Belle Collection using the 12x12 paper and the little Paper Pads as well as some of the Embellishments.

I wanted to show you a close up of the new Kaiser Sparklets as they worked brilliantly for the Smarties.

I will be back tomorrow with Kaisers no 2 challenge.

Cheers Shelley

Card Challenge

Here is a card that I made today for a couple of challenges, I have used Magnolia Stamp Tilda with Big Heart, coloured and added some glitter. I love using the Kaiser Paper Pads as there is no waste and heaps of paper to mix and match this one is Made With Love. I have used Nestabilities Dies for the shapes and added some Lace, Ribbon, Pearls and there you have it one easel card.

This is just a close up of Tilda with Big Heart, I am not the best at colouring with my copics but I am getting there it all takes practice.

These are the challenges I have entered my card in.

I hope you like this one,

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch July # 5

It is probably to late to put this one in the Kaiser Saturday Sketch # 5 but once I had finished it I just had to show you. This is all done from the new Hunt and Gather Collection that has just been released for August.

 I wasn't sure if I would use it or not but I had fun with all of the paper, paper pads and stickers. I have even added the buttons from Up and Away Collection. The rhinestones are also a new addition to the collection made especially for Hunt and Gather.

This is a close up of the little fish that I cut out of the paper pad, I have put one of the fish on the end of the line even though he didn't really catch a fish that day,  but I just love the expression on his little face.

So here is my take on the sketch and this one is for you Corey, your growing up so fast, nearly 3 in this photo and now your 16.

Cheers Shelley

Kaiser Saturday Sketch July # 3

Well I am back with another Kaiser Saturday Sketch # 3. This week I have chosen another photo of Jess and Luke when they were on their Cruise, and it will go into the album opposite the page I have done for Scrap The Girls. I have used the Pink Gelato again and cut out the flowers from the Paper Pad and also used the Cardboard Embellishments, and the Sticker Sheets.

This is a close up of the words from the Sticker Sheet.

I am having a little op on Wednesday so I wont be posting anything for a week or so.

Cheers Shelley
