Twisted Easel Rectangular Card

The flowers on this card have been made from patterned paper that has flowers on it and I have cut them out. A few twists for dimension and a Kaisercraft pearl in the centre and you have a flower.

Cooper's Towers

Cooper learned a very good lesson here. The bigger the base the higher the tower can go.

It kept on falling over and he was getting very frustrated with the blocks. He is very happy with his construction work. This tower stayed up for a few days.

Another construction made by Cooper. He loves to design and make things. 

Sun Ideas for Scrapbooking

Cut a circle from cardstock and crinkle it ( can leave plain if you want).
Cut a strip of patterned paper and I have edged it with a punch. Then pleat it and glue the pleated strip  to the back of the circle.

Cut a circle from patterned paper and then glue a series of triangles around the circle.

Cut a pattern from a piece of patterned paper and ink the edges. The shape was originally sold as a chipboard flower.

Summer Layout

This layout was done using Kaisercraft products and Bazzill.
I used the Cuttlebug to cut out the sea creatures and the border punches were a scallop punch and a Martha Stewart sea creature punch.

Green Layout

This is a layout I did for a crop I was helping run. I used punches, chipboard, Dabbers, Kaisercraft pattern Paper, SALT cardstock, Kaisercraft Bling words, raffia and photos of my granddaughter Jessica and I on her first week at school.

My Grandchildren

Due to being ever so busy I have not had time to upload my creations. I hope to do that these holidays. Here are a few photos of me with my grandchildren. We had a lovely few days together. I am so blessed.

Abercrombie National park

We went away the last long weekend to Abercrombie National Park. It is a lovely place and we had a great time both day and night. You can see our tent on the river and me near an old deserted hut. The roads were all dirt and some very steep. All in all we had a great time.

Twisted Easel Card

This Twisted Easel Card was made for a boy. I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the star shapes. The rest of the card has been made from scraps.

Twisted Easel Card

I came across these Twisted Easel Cards on the net and decided to make one. I didn't have any instructions but worked it out myself. I loved making the Easel Cards and this one gives a "twist" to the concept.
I have used Treehouse Memory Papers, SALT cardstock and yes the Cuttlebug to cut the metallic white flowers. I also used a punch and 5 scalloped circles to make the fluffy white flower. The ribbon is Bazzill Basic .

Tattered Florals

This one shows you the paper flower teamed with a silk flower. The brad is a Basic Grey one and the brown  flower has been Glitter Misted.

Tattered Florals

Once again I have been playing with Tim Holtz's die and have used tweezers to twist the petals to give them dimension. The pink and brown flower is teamed with a Basic Grey brad.

Tattered Florals

This is the Tattered Florals Die with out the back row of petals. I Kindy Glitzed the edges and squeezed the petals to give them shape. The butterflies are a die from Stampin Up and both were done using the Cuttlebug.

Tattered Florals

I love the Cuddlebug folders and the Stappin Up Folder which is the border and the Butterflies. I cut out the flower pieces and then ran them through the Cuttlebug with an embossing from. I then inked them and assembled the flower like I did the other ones except I squeezed the petals instead of making them stand out. Some Kindy Glitz makes it shimmer.

Here is another card using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals and the Cuttlebug. Notice the bugged background.

Here is another card made using the Tim Holtz die . Once again I put it through my Cuttlebug. I also cut the Butterflies out using the Cuttlebug.  

Tattered Florals-glimmer Mist

This flower has been made with cardstock that has been sprayed with Glimmer Mist first before cutting out.  I have teamed the flower with SALT metallic cardstock and ordinary cardstock, Stampin Up butterfly cut from the Cuttlebug and Kaisercraft wooden stamps and Versa Color ink.

I also used a butterfly die from Stampin Up.

Easter Hat Parade

This is the double page layout I did of Cooper's first Easter Hat Parade at school. 

Easter Hat Parade

This layout was done as a class for a crop I run once a month. I wanted to use different texture cardstocks to make the eggs of various sizes. I still think Basic Grey makes the best Alphabet stickers and you get so many of them. The patterned paper is Treehouse Memories which I don''t think is around anymore but Cropworks has heaps of it.

Mother's Day Card

This is the Mother's Day card I made for my crop this weekend.

This is a close up of the Tattered Flowers I made from Kaisercraft Papers that were cut out using the Tim Holtz Die and the Cuttlebug.
