Sweet pea collection.....

Ahhh its just one of those things really... to get creative and to find your mojo your blogging doesn't keep up with the flow. Am I alone with this? and if I am not any suggestions on how to fix it? anyway since I am burning the midnight oil I will share with you a creation for Scrapbooks from the Heart, using the Kaisercraft Sweet pea collection.

When I was given this range I must admit I was left  scratching my head because I couldn't understand what a sausage dog had to do with and Elephant? but I decided to let go of that question for another day.... and create some layouts and share with you the versatility of the range.

So first up a general neutral piece .....

"Love"
Kaisercraft Sweet Pea collection, pp, and embellishment pack.

Don't forget to layer your piece from the embellishment pack , it make a quick title.

 

Something a little bit girly and softer:

 

' I love you'

Freckled Fawn wood veneers, Gesso, Heidi  Swapp mist, Sequins,
peg and washi tape. 

 

 

Now for something Boy and grungy:

 

"@eight"
Kaisercraft Sweet pea pp, and diecuts and stamps,
Tim Holtz Stains, Heidi Swapp masks,
Black pen.

By adding sketch lines over the chevron print for the range it makes is more masculine and how cute is that fox?

 

So thankyou for looking at this bigger post than normal, cant go past the down and dirty way of sharing lol, but I will try to work on posting.... don't forget to share your tips in how to make this not happen again..... Rikki xxxx

Instagram inspiration........

At the moment I am finding inspiration in Instagram photos especially when you print them out, theres something about a square photo that makes me happy, and lets not forget the fun in changing the colour of your photo.

My little share today was made for Scrapbooks From the Heart, using Kaisercraft Hopscotch range, and it works well with the Instagram prints.....

What is your favourite size prints? and do you print them from home or a photo kiosk?

"U make me Smile"
Kaisercraft Hopscotch pp, diecuts and stickers. 

 

 

So why dont you pop  into the Scrapbooks from the Heart and say hi to Nicole and grab some of this range !!!!

 

And also why dont you come to the next 12 hour crop this Saturday? Loads of fun, great food, great inspiration in all things papercrafting.....

 

Go to Techniques...........

Today I though I would share with you something that I worked on for Scrapbooks from the Hearts,  using the stunning range from Kaisercraft....

 

Have you ever had a piece of pattern paper that you cant think of what to do with it? well why not try and do a little bit of fussy cutting and paper piecing? I love this paper but the background was just too heavy in colour for me to pull it off on such whimsy fun photos. So I go to my favourite paper crafting technique....... FUSSY CUTTING!!!

 

Whats your favourite go to technique?

 

 

"You make me Smile"
Kaisercraft Hopscotch pp, diecuts and stickers. 

Hopscotch whimsy......

Today I thought I would share with you a simple way to make printed paper pop. I was given by Scrapbooks From The Heart the Kaisercraft Hopscotch range for dt kit..I love this range for its whimsy part, and it has great embellishments too.

 

I really loved this paper but I wanted to add layers so with some fussy cutting and foam mount I created a layout with layers and with only one piece of paper and the die cut pack..... 

 

"Growing up too fast"
Kaisercraft Hopscotch pp, sticker sheet, Die cut pack and rhinestones.

 

So why dont you pop into Scrapbooks from the Heart and grab some of this paper while it lasts.......

Scrapbooks From the Heart..... Remember me.....

Have you ever had one of those photos you don't want to do a lot to because it needs to speak the loudest on your page? This was my dilemma when I wanted to scrap this photo below, I needed to honour it and show how special it was, this was my grandfather in his Army uniform....

 Lucky enough for me, my DT kit from Scrapbooks from the Heart for this month included the stunning Kaiser craft Remember me range. I love these tones, they are rich and warm with a touch of elegant gold, the range honours those who have long pasted.....

''Lest we Forget''
Kaiser craft; Remember me die cut pp, and diecuts

So if you have photos like this why don't you go and see Nicole from Scrapbooks from the Heart and grab some of this range while it last....

Scrapbooks From the Heart

Today thought I would share a layout that I worked on for Scrapbooks from the Heart..... I got onto this Design team a couple of months ago and have been lucky to play with some of the new Kaiser craft releases, this is called Sugar Pop and I wanted to do a layout that wasn't just an Easter layout as the range leads it self to be, and just with a little fussy cutting you to can create a beautiful layered piece.

Some of my favourite things in this collection apart from the whimsy flowers is the die cut pack it has a great selection of complementary bits that you need to complete your layout or beyond the page project.. in this case an instant title!!!

''Sugar & Spice''
Kaiser craft; sugar pop pp, and die cuts,

So why don't you pop down to Scrapbooks from the Hearts and grab some of this beautiful paper.....
