Project Life Style

Hi there.
Here are a couple of  Project Life style pages to show you.....

For this first page I used the Project Life - Design D Photo Pocket Page.
This design is great for portrait photos of which I had 4 of to use. I used papers from Kaisercraft's Confetti 6x6 pad and cut it to fit in the 3x4 pockets and I embellished them with the Confetti Collectables. This paper cordinates with Kaisercraft's Captured Moments cards - Happy Days.
 I made this page for my sister for Christmas and put it in an album for her along with some  more pocket pages and the Kaisercraft Captured Moments-Happy Days cards and a journalling pen - A starter kit for her to start her own project life! (I left the journalling for her to do!) When she came to stay after Christmas we had some sessions/lessons on what to do! Plus a visit to the Artfull Crafts shop to get some more goodies to help her on her way!

For this page the photos were different sizes and it was to go into a frame. So I used "pocket" style but on a 12x12 piece of white card. (It could also be put into a 12x12 page protector too).
Again I used papers from Kaisercraft's Confetti 6x6 pad and cut it to fit and embellished them with the Confetti Collectables.
I am excited about the  Captured Moments cards Kaisercraft are bringing out and that each set matches a Collection. This makes it such a neat way  of adding some extra bits and pieces to your pages.

Project 365

Hi there.
Here is the Project 365 photo a day that I have been doing, to show you what I have done with it each month.

For this Layout I have used Kaisercraft's Spring Bloom Collection and their Favourite Things Captured Moments cards to embellish the photo which is on a background of white cardstock.
Last September I got an iphone and I love it because it takes nice photos too. So I always have it with me and don't need to cart my camera everywhere too! I had read about the Project 365 app that you use to take a daily photo. I decided I wanted to try it, so I did and at the end of each month I have a collage of photos to save. I got them printed off my phone at Harvey Norman as a 8x10
(Enlargements are half price on a Wednesday!) This is how it looks....

And now after I have played with it....

This one I have used Simple stories Snap cards and stickers to embellish it.
I just love that I can get so many photos on one page and that it gives a good overview of  my daily life too! I have put my journalling on the October page and have tucked it under the photo- so to read you just pull it out!
I will just put these into a 12x12 page protector and put them into my Project Life album.

Lastly a card I have made with the Spring Bloom Collection ...

Looking Glass Gift Cards

Hi there.

Today I have a set of gift cards I made using Kaisercraft's Looking Glass Collection....

I made 6 - 3x4" cards and envelopes and made a matching Gift Bag to put them in.  I used the We R Memory Keepers envelope maker and the Gift Bag Punch Board.
I think these punch boards are fantastic and I love using them.

I added some trinkets, from Papervine, tied with a bit of Bakers twine to the front of each card.  I just stamped the sentiment "for you" for each card.  This is a great way to use up some leftover patterned paper.

Christmas Exploding Box

Hi all - Liz has an annual Christmas Day on a Saturday at the beginning of December at the Artfull Crafts shop, so I thought I would share some of the crafty goodness from that day.

My contribution was to make a bag using the new Gift bag punch board from W R Memory Keepers, this is it here....

This is the large bag from a 6x12" piece of paper - we used Kaisercraft's  Christmas Carol .
I used mine to put a gift card in along with a couple of chocolate bars!

Below are examples of the 3 sizes you can make...

from left to right the large, medium and small. You can vary the height depending on the size of your paper.

I also have to show you the Exploding Christmas Box we made with fellow DT member -Robbi. I was so excited to make this!!  Here it is as the box.....

 And this is it having taken the lid off to explode!!!!!

I finished mine the next day and then had to make another......

I made this one for my daughter for Christmas and put a gift card in one of the pockets. So Thanks Robbi for a great idea!

Christmas PL Pages

Hi there.
I have a couple of project life style pages to show you today using Kaisercraft's Santa's List collection......

 This way of scrapbooking is so easy and quick, the Collectables make embellishing a breeze and I love to use my washi tape and metal trinkets from Papervine.

 This page used the BH pocket page E - it has 4 6x6 squares. Just like doing mini layouts!

I am also showing you  some Christmas step cards I made using Kaisercraft's Christmas Carol Collection....

I really like making these cards and they stand up so nicely for display!

Looking Glass Layout and Cards

Hi there -Here is a layout and a couple of cards I have made using Kaisercraft's The Looking Glass Collection.

 The arrows I have punched out of the  patterned paper pad with a corner punch.  The Collectables are great for adding embellishments. I have also used a favourite tool (one of Heidi Swapp's as well!)- the Epiphany Punch tool, to create the 2 circles on the bottom right hand corner.

For this card I have used the leftover punched corners. Some Papervine trinkets and Bakers twine.

This card carries on the theme of putting 3 rectangles in a row and backed on black card - love this colour blocking and this paper is great to use !

My Artfull Crafts DT Work

Hi there - over the next few days I will showcase what I have been up to with my DT work for Artfull Crafts. Apologies if you have already seen it but I want a record here as well!

Some cards I have made using Kaisercraft's Gingerbread Collection....

I am usually a traditional Christmas colour person of red and green - but I really love this teal green colour in these papers.  For the first card I have made a rosette with the Tim Holtz die out of white card and before I folded it I added some red washi tape from Papervine and then added a rhinestone sparkler to the centre. I love making fishtail banners so have used them on all 3 cards - great for showing off the patterned papers.

For these 2 cards I have used this lovely Angel - she is a digi stamp from LaLa Land Crafts. I just printed her off onto white card and coloured her in with my Copics. The Merry Christmas sentiments are from the Collectables.
