What have I been up to?

Hi everyone.

I hope you are all well and that your lead up to Christmas is going splendidly. Things are finally starting to slow down in this household, so I can start enjoying this time of year.

Christmas tree decorated...check
Christmas shopping done.....check
Presents made......check
Presents wrapped.....check
Presents sent......check
Visited Santa...check (I will share a photo when I get my scanner out)
Supplies bought for Christmas lunch ....not check...we can't be too organized now can we lol. I will be braving the crowds on Thursday to do that.

What else have I been up to. Well here are a few things I have been making of late.

These cards for a Christmas card swap


These door hangers for my Tuesday Tip last week over at the Kaisercraft Blog ( I have made one for Em too, but I was too lazy to take a photo).
And these felt cupcakes for a few very special ladies.


I also just realized I haven't shared my layouts from the Kaisercraft Q2 release. So here they are.

PACK YOUR BAGS COLLECTION

REWIND COLLECTION
BELLE COLLECTION
CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL COLLECTION
LILAC AVENUE COLLECTION
and my favourite of them all, THE DEAR SANTA COLLECTION
I don't think I have anything else to share at the moment. I plan to have a bit of a break and then get back into the swing of things after Christmas.

To all the wonderful, beautiful people that read my blog I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope this Christmas season treats you well, and that your New Year is filled with much love and happiness.

So from my family to yours
Have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Take care

Monday Madness

Good Morning everyone.

I hope the weekend treated you all well. How fast did this last week go. I don't know where it went. I had a million (okay maybe not a million) things I wanted to get done, and I don't think I even finished half of them lol. Christmas is always such a crazy time of year though, and had I been better organized I probably wouldn't be as rushed off my feet lol. Every year I say I will start things early, but does that ever happen......nope:) next year will be different though.....maybe.

So today I have a few 123 Scrapbook creations to share. The first few were for the Christmas cybercrop. Rather than do challenges for this cybercrop, we decided we would just show a few gifts that people could make.

My first project was this altered jar. Inside it has a packet of seeds, and although it doesn't show clearly, some dragonflies on a branch.

An altered Ferrero Rocher Box.....yummmmmm

and an altered clipboard ( I wasn't happy how this turned out)


I also made another project for my Renee's Reno's section. These are Kaisercraft Coasters that have been decoarted with Glimmermist, Glimmer Screens and stamps. I quite like the way they turned out. If you want to see how i made these coasters pop over to the 123 Scrapbook forum here. Well that is about it for today.

I have a few more creations yet to share, so hopefully I will be back on by the end of the week (unless it flies past like the last one lol).

Have a great week and take care.

Kaiser Christmas

Hi everyone.

How fast are these weeks passing by. I can't even remember where last week went. So I promised in my last post to show a few more of my creations. With the gorgeous Christmas ranges that Kaisercraft released in Q2, I was inspired to start getting festive and make some Christmas decorations. Normally I don't go too overboard in decorations, but this year the festive spirit has well and truly come knocking so I will be decking the halls..so to speak.

First up is these Christmas hangings made using the Dear Santa range. These were really easy to make...believe me they were!


Next is the Kaisercraft Triple Frame Set which I decorated using the lovely Belle range. These frames were a blast to make.



Well that's it for today. Hopefully you have been bitten by the Christmas bug as well. I also have a tonne of layouts to show you, but that will have to wait until another day.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Take care

Frame-it!

Good Morning everyone!

I hope this Monday finds you fine and well. I am sorry for not blogging for a little while, the blogging bug hasn't really been biting lately. But over the next week I have a few bits and bobs to show you to make up for it. Today I have this little glass frame to share with you all. It was inspired by a project over at Webster's pages.



Aren't these two girls just the sweetest little things ever (biased mummy here lol).

Well that's it for today. I will be back later in the week with a few more creations.
Have a great day.

Christmas Quickie

Hi everyone.

Do you want to make a quick Christmas decoration? This frame that I made as my Renee's Reno's project for 123 Scrapbook is a quick and easy project that you can put together in no time at all. Pop over to the forum to see the instructions.



Don't you just love those papers. The Dear Santa Range from Kaisercraft would have to be my most favourite Christmas range to date. I was so excited when I had the chance to play with it again for my 123 Scrapbook project. I hope you like it. Well that's it for today. The dishes are calling me so I had better go and do them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take Care

Dear Santa

Hi everyone.

I hope the week has been treating you all well. Today I can show you the first of my Kaisercraft projects using the stunning Dear Santa range. I fell in love with this range as soon as I saw it, and I have so many things I would like to make with it. Now to just find a bit more time to make them all lol. For this project I decided to try my hand at another altered book to display my favourite Christmas Carols. Although for this one I completely removed all of the pages and was only left with the book cover.

For some more fantastic ideas from the rest of the wonderful DT, check out the Christmas post here on the Kaisercraft Blog.

Have a great day.
