Charm's Creations DT - Catch-up

HI!

 

 

I have a handful of layouts I created for CHARM'S CREATIONS that I haven't blogged yet because I am a slack blogger!! LOL

 

So today is the day to catch-up. :-)

 

 

Let the layout overload begin!!

 

 

"Capture Happy" Layout

 

 

I used the stunning mood board from the Dec/Jan Challenge Two as inspiration for this layout.

 

 

Wondering where the actual Charm's Creations are on my layout??

 

 

There they are!! Two sweet flag banners. I admit that I got a little carried away with arranging and layering my cluster of embellishments and they kind of got a little bit hidden. I did a nice job of altering them too with Kaisermist and water. :-)

 

 

I used some lovely IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS CHIPBOARD on here too. And all of the papers and embellishments are by Cocoa Vanilla.

 

You can find the flag banners in the shop HERE.

 

 

"Seriously" Layout

 

 

More Cocoa Vanilla loveliness on this layout which co-ordinated perfectly with the Charm's Creations White, Denim and Stripe Map Marker which you can find HERE in the shop.

 

 

Here's a closer look at it all snuggled into my element cluster.

 

 

 

Next are three more layouts that I created for reasons that I can no longer remember in the blur of the huge amount of layouts I do!! LOL There may have been a mood board or two involved. ;-)

 

"On The List" Layout

 

 

"Little and Fierce" Layout

 

 

"True Love" Layout

 

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

 

Cheers

Charm's Creations DT - Jot Mood Board January

Popping in today to share a layout I created for CHARM'S CREATIONS using the stunning January Mood Board from Jot Magazine.

 

Here's a peek at the mood board.

 

 

I just LOVE the colours!

 

Here's what I created.

 

 

The floral design in the mood board inspired my choice of Crate Paper background paper.

 

I was dying to use the gorgeous deer button lollipop from CHARM'S CREATIONS so chose to scrap a photo of one of our fawns.

 

Here's a closer look at the lollipop.

 

 

You can find them in the shop over HERE.

 

 

 

I liked the cute little hessian bags in the picture too so I chose a burlap flower to add to my layout and tied a twine bow on my shipping tag to match the twine tied around the little bags.

 

 

All of the chipboard pieces are by IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS and I have used them in their raw state to co-ordinate with the natural textures in the inspiration.

 

I recycled some gorgeous handmade wrapping paper and added that in behind my photo too.

 

Thanks for checking out my layout.

 

Cheers

Kaisercraft DT - # Me

Hi all!!

 

Today I am sharing my creations for KAISERCRAFT featuring the fun and funky # Me Collection.

 

 

 

This is such a fun collection with a combination of pretty florals, fun and funky icons and lots of inspirational quotes.

 

‘I Am Me’ Layout

 

 

I have gone for a grungy style on this layout, using the fabulous Notes Die Cut Specialty Paper, some Charcoal Kaisermist and lots of stamping with the super fun clear stamps that come with this collection.

I layered squares of patterned papers from the paper pad under my photo. The paper pads are perfect for this technique.

 

 

Kaisercraft materials: PS440 Notes Die Cut Specialty Paper | PP989 Paper Pad | CT848 Collectables | CS248 Clear Stamps | SS305 Sticker Sheet | CD102 Kaisercard Licorice | DD743 Decorative Die Card Creations Live Simply Quote Cardfront C6 | KM101 Kaisermist Charcoal | PT226 Glitter Tape Steel.

 

“# Happy” Layout

 

For this layout I wanted to use the striking text patterned paper for my background and contrast it with some lovely soft florals from the collection.

 

 

I also used a card from the All About Me Captured Moments Kit to frame my photo.

 

 

Kaisercraft materials: P2034 Confidence | P2035 Positivity | P2039 Encourage | P2040 Goals | P2041 Dreams | SS305 Sticker Sheet | CT848 Collectables | CS248 Clear Stamps | CM603 All ABout Me Captured Moments Kit | CD115 Kaisercard Moss | FL440 Wooden Flourishes Hearts | SB784 Pearls Ice Green | EM405 Paper Doilies White | PT226 Glitter Tape Steel.

Other: ink | sequins. 

 

“Journal Planner – March”

 

For my final project I wanted to keep up to date with decorating my Journal Planner.

And what better month than my birthday month to use the # me collection?? Well that just turned out to be perfect timing for me. :-)

 

 

 

 

Did you spy the colouring page I included in my planner? I cut that from my Kaisercraft Free Spirit Colouring Book.

 

 

I did have to sacrifice the pretty illustration on the other side but I think it was worth it to add a lovely colouring page to my journal. :-)

Kaisercraft materials: P2034 Confidence | P2035 Positivity | P2036 Belief | P2037 Strength | P2040 Goals | PP989 Paper Pad | CM603 All About Me Captured Moments Kit | SS305 Sticker Sheet | CT848 Collectables | CS248 Clear Stamps | DD346 Decorative Die Icons | DD704 Decorative Die Hello | DD733 Decorative Die Months | CD160 Kaisercard Pistachio | CS787 Clear Stamps Date | LDB Lucky Dip Chalkboard Paper Stack | ST922 Clear Sticker Happy Birthday | CL502 Free Spirit Colouring Book | SA053 Journal Planner – Breeze.

 

Well that is all from me today. Thankyou so much for stopping by. I do hope I have inspired you to kick start your new year full of creativity.

 

Cheers

Kaisercraft DT - True Love Collection

Hello!!

 

Now that the silly season is over and we are into the new year, I am looking forward to getting back into some sort of a routine again. Although that won't really happen until the kids go back to school!

 

I am hoping that I will not neglect my blog so much this year and keep it up to date a bit better. Fingers crossed!

 

Today I have my creations for KAISERCRAFT to share featuring the stunning new True Love Collection.

 

 

TRUE LOVE is such a fresh and pretty collection with a touch of edgy black thrown in.

I have three lovely layouts using this collection to share with you, so let’s get started.

 

‘So Sweet’ Layout

 

I have die cut my title and the swirl flourishes from the brand new Lucky Dip Cork Stack Adhesive Sheets. I LOVE this new product and it worked really well with the dies.

 

Here’s a closer look.

 

Kaisercraft materials: P2025 My Love | P2027 My Darling | P2031 My Precious | PP988 Paper Pad | SS304 Sticker Sheet | CT846 Collectables | CD651 Kaisercard Kraft | DD705 Decorative Die Swirl Flourish | DD725 Decorative Die Card Creations – Butterflies – Cardfront – C6 | DD735 Decorative Die Uppercase Alphabet | FL303 Wood Flourishes Vines | LDB1031 Lucky Dip Cork Stack Adhesive Sheets | LDB1054 Lucky Dip Wooden Shapes – Love | IP733 Ink Pad Vine.

 

 

‘Beautiful’ Layout

 

 

There are just so many pretty elements to love in this collection! I cut the gorgeous Wreath Specialty Die Cut Paper in half for this layout and then fussy cut some extra flowers from the remaining half.

 

The combination of pink and orange is so fresh and lovely too and co-ordinated perfectly with that butterfly painted on my daughter’s cheek.

 

Kaisercraft materials: PS438 Wreath Die Cut Specialty Paper | P2025 My Love | P2032 My Dearest | PP988 Paper Pad | SS304 Sticker Sheet | CT846 Collectables | CD101 Kaisercard Coconut | PT227 Glitter Tape Gold | FL341 Wooden Flourishes Magical Butterflies | FL440 Wooden Flourishes Hearts | DD705 Decorative Die Swirl Flourish | LDB1054 Lucky Dip Wooden Shapes – Love | KM108 Kaisermist Orange | IP729 Ink Pad Tangello | IP734 Ink Pad Red.

Other: sequins.

 

‘Perfect Happiness’ Layout

 

Green and white is such a beautiful, crisp combination for my last layout and the touch of black in the die cuts and stickers adds the perfect touch.

 

 

Kaisercraft materials: P2026 My Sweetheart | P2030 My Honey | P2031 My Precious | SS304 Sticker Sheet | PP988 Paper Pad | CT846 Collectables | CD101 Kaisercard Coconut | DD517 Decorative Die Tag Shapes | DD701 Decorative Die 6×4″ + 3×4″ Rectangles | IP730 Ink Pad Avocado.

Other: sequins.

 

Isn't it just the most gorgeous collection?

 

I will have a couple more projects using this range to share later in the month so keep an eye out for those.

 

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see what I did with the brand new # me collection.

 

Cheers

Kraft + DT - Hashtag This

Happy new year!!

 

Welcome to my very first blog post for 2016!!

 

 

Today I am sharing my take on the brand new challenge for January at KRAFT PLUS CHALLENGES.

 

 

Here's a peek at the challenge.

 

 

Criteria
Kraft + Handwriting

 

 

This month's challenge might have a few of you cringing and may take you right out of your comfort zone, but others will find it quite easy.

This month we want you to HANDWRITE on your entry! 

Not many of us like our own handwriting,
but this month at  K+ we  want you all to embrace it!
Putting pen to paper and writing on your work puts a bit of YOU on your creations, something that future generations will cherish (no matter how messy you think it is)

**Please note..we are after YOUR handwriting!  Not fonts or script stamps, rub-ons etc.**

 

I have to admit that I was one of those cringing people. And then when I sat down to write about my photo I couldn't think of anything to write. So I brainstormed with Miss Hayley and came up with a list of words about my photo. As I was using one of my instagram photos I thought why not pretend these words are the hashtags that I would normally add to my IG photo and hence my background was created.

 

"Our Family Snap Shots" Layout

 

 

I came across an Aqua Paint Dabber in my stash that I hadn't used for a while so grabbed that to add a border around the edge of my kraft cardstock and that is what I based my colour palette around. I love the soft aqua with the kraft as well as the touches of gold.

 

 

All of those amazing chipboard pieces are by IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS and I am thrilled to say that I am designing for this fabulous chipboard company again this year. I will be sharing my class creations that I teach at Seriously Scrapbooking.

 

 

 

So get ready, get set, GO WRITE!! Make sure you get your entry in by the due date and don't forget it must be kraft based.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Cheers

Belinda
