Kaiser Sketch October #4

Hello...........I'm back to show you my take on the Kaiser sketch #4.
I really love this photo....here is my simple layout with soft , pretty colours. I've combined a few kaiser paper collections here.


  
I wanted to create a soft look with some texture for the butterflies in the background..........I don't have any stencils, so I cut myself one using a  transparency sheet and my cricut. I mixed a very pale pink ink with the texture paste.....I really like how this turned out. I think I'll be cutting myself some more stencils :)

Boy meets Girl Scrapbook challenge this month is to add texture to your creation.......I hope this is ok!

2 layouts.........

Yay.......it the weekend!

I've had  fun scrapping some photos that I took last weekend! We visited me parents place on the Sunshine Coast, it was a beautiful day.......perfect for a Photo Shoot in front of the Bougainvillea, the colours were so pretty!

Now to get 3 teenagers and a 23 year old to cooperate :) ....as you can see they had fun trying!


The papers are from 'Echo Park Beautiful Life' collection.

I followed this sketch from 'The Scrapbook Store'

 

I took this photo later in the afternoon.........love those sun rays filtering through the trees.


Here's a close up of my little flower cluster.


Pretty colours in this paper collection.......last week I was shopping for groceries ,  I saw these paper stacks for $4.99......2 stickers sheets, 1 journalling sheet and 13 sheets of paper, all acid free etc.
Bargain! So, I bought 4 different stacks and no food....ha.........like I really needed any more paper but, they were perfect for this page. The stickers were a bit thin, so I stuck them to card then cut around the shape.

Enjoy your weekend.......its a beautiful day here time to get outside and enjoy.

Happy Monday to you all...........hope you had a great weekend!

I think I've told you how much I love the Overlays on the Cricut CTMH "Art Booking" cartridge:)
Scrap the Girls has a great challenge for this month......one of the things I needed to do was add Hexagons.
This overlay was perfect!


Here's the requirements and what I've used........
Hexagon - overlay
Squiggle - Butterfly trail and twine
Circle - Buttons
Rectangle - Photo 
Strips - Scallop border on the edge of photo and butterflies underneath
...........................................
We celebrated my Mums Birthday on the weekend - this is the vintage looking  card I made for her.


 I'm entering my card at "Cards Gallore Challenge Blog" .........the challenge is too add 'FLOWERS'

The sun is shining its a Beautiful day.....Time to get out in the garden before it gets to warm.

Season's Change

Hey everyone,

Time to show you what I have created for the new Die cut challenge at "Stuck on U Sketches"
The theme is anything "Fall"

Here is something different from me...........A Casual Card.
Less is More........isn't that what they say? I have a tendency to just keep adding stuff! But for today I kept it very minimal. I kinda like it for a change :)


 I used Close to My Heart 'Art Booking' cartridge to cut the shape. The top layer is an over lay.......I added the orange card underneath.

I look forward to seeing your FALL creations. Be sure to stop by Sous to see all the awesome inspiration from the other designers.

Happy weekend to you all
