"His View" | Kaisercraft Base Coat III

My boys are out Trick-or-Treating and I am at home enjoying handing out treats to all the kids that visit.  I thought I'd share another "Just For Fun" layout in between answering the front door :-)

This is another 8.5"x11" page using a collection from Kaisercraft called "Base Coat III".  I added some extra bits and pieces like puffy stickers, wood veneer, tissue paper, spray mist and stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!

"Stairs" | Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic

I'm back with another "just for fun" layout and this time I have used the 5th & Frolic Collection by Dear Lizzy.  It's an 8.5" x 11" page and once again I have used patterned paper to cover my entire background.  I have been using the "messy thread nest" that is so popular right now in my cardmaking, so I decided to try it on this layout.

"Comfy?" | Fancy Pants Designs

I've been doing a little bit of scrapbooking "just-for-fun" and I realised I haven't been sharing anything! I am trying to use up older product- goodness knows I have enough of it- and for this layout I have used the "Be Different" Collection from Fancy Pants Designs.

My layout is 8.5" x 11" and features way more patterned paper than I would normally use. I decided to create an entire background from papers that complemented my photo, and then use stickers, die-cuts, buttons and a pocket all from the "Be Different" Collection.

I added machine stitching and some splatters of Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Navy to finish things off.

Project Life Weeks 40 & 41

Hi there!  I'm back with another two weeks worth of PL and Weeks 40 and 41 are both single page layouts using the Midnight Edition.  Midnight is very clean in style and features black, white, grey and yellow, but for these pages, I chose to only use the black and white elements in the kit.  I don't know why I did this- maybe I'm feeling a bit "Monochromatic"- but I am happy with how the pages turned out.

Here is Week 40.....

And here is Week 41.....

Thanks for stopping by!

Project Life Week 39

I'm on a roll and have completed another week of PL!  Week 39 is another two page layout and this time I've used the Kraft Edition.  It was school holidays and the boys went to the Perth Royal Show so there were a lot of photos to choose from.  I added a wood veneer to one of the filler cards but the rest is just my usual "straight-out-of-the-printer" style.

Here is the LHS.....

Here is the RHS.....

And here is the whole week.....

Project Life Week 38

I'm back with another Project Life week to share and since it was a photo-heavy week, I've done a double-page layout using the Jade Edition.  Since I had space for a couple of Filler Cards, I decided to add some wood veneer to two of them, but I can't recall where they came from.  I think the geotag might have been from Studio Calico, but that's a guess!

Here is the LHS.....

Here is the RHS.....

And here is the whole week.....

I still love the Jade Kit- lots of colour without being too bright and some great patterns and words.  Hopefully I will be back soon with another week caught up!

CAS-ual Fridays | CFC144

I decided to play along with CAS-ual Friday's TicTacToe Challenge this month, and I made a card featuring stencilling, die-cutting and embossing.

I started with some watercolour paper and a Stampin' Up star stencil.  I applied Versamark Ink through the stencil and then white heat embossed the stars.  I then watercoloured the background with Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Fossilized Amber.

I die-cut some balloons from plain white cardstock with dies from MFT and then coloured those with the same Distress Inks using a foam ink blending tool.

I took a sentiment from Avery Elle and white heat embossed it on some vellum before trimming it to a banner shape.

Some silver thread for the balloon tails were the final finishing touch.
