"Sweet Nothings" - FAMILY - LO (Design Team Project for Becci's Beads & Crafts)

This is my 2nd layout using the "Sweet Nothings Collection from Kaisercraft. I was really happy with how it turned out. I only used 1 sheet of paper and the rest was done using scraps of Sweet Nothings paper that I had left over from another project.



"Sweet Nothings"- MEMORIES - LO (Design Team project for Becci's Beads & Crafts)

Becci asked me to do a couple of LO using the "Sweet Nothings" collection from Kaisercraft.

This is one of my all time favourite collections of paper.

I have used it before on the beautiful card box that I made for my good friend Angie.

I have done 2 layouts so far using this collection.

Don't forget you can purchase this collection and others in Becci's store.



"Cassowary"

We have a beautiful little art shop here in Tully and the lady who runs it (Mrs Anne Kent) is the most amazing artist who also teaches art classes.

Tully is know for its Cassowaries so Anne makes them in all sizes and sells them in her shop,she also teaches how to make them so Justin and I spent the last 2 Friday mornings down in the art shop getting messy but omg having lots of fun and just love my little Cassowary



"Cowboy Canvas" with Scrap FX chippies

This canvas has been a work in progress for a while.

I wanted to do a canvas for my youngest son, Justin Colter to put above his bed.

I used lots of Scrap Fx chippies which I have altered with my all time favourite embossing powder.

I have used a fairly large canvas which I inked with Distress ink around the edges.

I then used a large piece of tissue paper whch I stamped randomly with different stamps that were a little bit cowboy or old looking.

Next was to carefully tear the tissue paper around the edges to gie it a distressed look and then carefully modpodge it onto the canvas.

After it was dry I ink it all over with distress ink.

I used a bit of 12x12 paper that was ina  cowboy theme which I distressed the edges on, under the paper is some Tim Holtz tissue paper which has just been torn and stuck down randomly.

Then the fun part of embossing all the chippies and adding the other embellishmnents...

Had so much fun doing this.







"Timeless" LO (Design team project for Becci's Beads & Crafts)

"Rockpool" card - Design team project for "Becci's beads & crafts"

I am only just getting into the card making so this is a very easy card for the beginner to make.

I have used just a plain white cardstock. I used a piece of the left over paper from when I did the storage tower. The tag and fish are the "Rockpool" collectables which I have again inked with Tim Holtz distress ink and I used the kaisercraft foam tape to stand them out from the card a bit. The happy birthday came from the "Rockpool" sticker sheet and I also stuck that on with the foam tape.

Going to try and make a few more cards, a quick project which was a lot of fun.

Don't forget you can get all your suppies from Becci's Beads & Crafts



"Rockpool" Design team projects for Becci's Beads & Crafts

Well Becci loves her " Rockpool" collection from Kaisercraft so when she sent me some goodies including the new Kaisercraft storage tower I decided to give the "Rockpool" a whirl.

I used the 12 x 12 sheets to cover the outside of the tower. The storage tower normally has 6 draws but I decided to take 2 out and just use 4 and have a little shelf instead.

What I didn't cover in paper I painted using the Kaisercraft "Seabreeze" paint and then I distressed it.

On the draws I have used paper from the small paper pad. I love these paper pads as they have coordinating papers but they usually have a bit extra, the Rockpool ones I have used have a metallic finish.

I have also used some of the "RockPool collectables. I have inked the edges using Tim Holtz distress ink. This just softens the edges a little.

around the outside I have used some of the "Rockpool" coordinating ribbon.

I used the double sided foam tape from Kaisercraft to lift them a little.

Draws

I have used a couple of seashell shapes that I have had in my stash for years.

When I was finished I coated the whole thing in Mod Podge. I have started using it on all my BTP projects as I find it helps protect it and you can easily wipe off the dust. You don't have to use Mod Podge, you could use any sort of acrylic varnish. I think that Kaisercraft have a clear varnish which would be just as good.

Now all these products can be found in Becci's store if you are keen to make your own storage tower.

Last year I made up these Christmas boxes using the Kaisercraft small trinket boxes.

I filled them with yummy chocolates and the kids gave them to their teacher at the ned of the year.

Planning on doing this again this year so keep an eye out for this years Christmas boxes as I plan on starting them soon.











"Horses" (using a Kaisercraft advent calendar)

I did this a while ago, it was one of the first projects I did when I got back into crafting.

I had the horse paper in mystash and kind of new what I wanted to do with it. As soon as I saw the Kaisercraft advent calendars I knew what I wanted to do. The little boxes take so long to do but it was worth it because I just love how it turned out....

planning on doing a Christmas one next.

" A mirror for Emily"

I wanted to make something special for my friends daughter Emily.

I had one of the Kaisercraft mirrors in my stash and though I could come up with something different. Rather than cover it in paper I used texture paste, paint and glimmer mist. I used Kaisercraft paper for the quote and to make the flower.



" Dusty Attic" treat box

Last year I fell in love with the Dusty Attic treat boxes and decided to do a couple of them for gifts for friends filled with yummy chocolates.

I just love these little boxes , they are so cute....





"Mum's Birthday card"

I am not a big card maker, I would like to be because I just love had made cards.

I decided to give it a go and make a card for my Mum for her Birthday and this is what I came up with.

Sorry the photo is not the greatest as it was taken on my phone.



"Kerry's owl"

The little art shop here in Tully has a ver talented artist that runs classes. She does some amazing paintings but in her pictures she uses Paverpol.

My 3 eldest boys do kids classes with her and have done some wonderful paintings in the last couple of months and have a lot of fun when they go.

I decided that I wanted to get in on this fun and recently did a couple of classes

I wanted to do something special for my friend Kerry who adores owls.

This was the finished project and Kerry just loves it.



"Katrina's Chooks" finished project

Last month I was working on some canvas's for my beautiful Sister - in - law Katrina.

Now I did them and then wasn't sure what more they needed so I put it out there and got a few suggestions and pretty much started again.

With some help of friends I tracked down some wheat....wow ...this stuff is hard to find considereing all the wheat we grow in Australia...

Anyway tracked some down and finished it off about a day before I had to leave to go to Brisbane.

Katrina loved it and had it up on her wall in the kitchen the night I gave it to her and has now commisioned me to do 2 more canvas's for her...phew...lots to do
Hope you like the end result.
