Kaisercraft Sat Sketch #3 May

This is my take on the  Kaisercraft Sat Sketch #3 May.  I have used the paper from Magnolia Grove collection - Luxury x 2 and Lavish and Classic.  The butterflies were cut out of the Timeless collection paper and painted with pale pink.  From Kaisercraft I have also used the rub-on Family and  a rhinestone flourish - elegant ice.

The photo is of my husbands Poppa ( he's the baby in arms).  I love collecting old family photo's to see where the resemblances come from in my children.  It's a beautiful thing!

Kaisercraft Sat Sketch #2 May

Wow!  I had so much fun doing this.  I couldn't help but shrink it down and play with the sketch.  These two kids are the best of friends.  It is wonderful to see them play together.
I have used from Kaisercraft :-  Miss Nelly paper pad, pearls, pearl strips, flowers, a sparklet, paint - dusty pink and mini alpha's.   I have also used basil, a rhinestone heart, a pin, a doily, leaves flower/bows and butterfly and flower punches.  Again, thanks for the inspiration!

Kaisercraft Sat Sketch #1 May

This is my take on the Kaisercraft Sat Sketch for May #1.  I was dying to scrap this photo of my beautiful daughter running in paradise like gardens.  The paper seemed to go perfectly with the photo.  I have used from Kaisercraft :- the Miss Nelly papers and rub-on's, paper from the Pet's Paradise collection, pearl strips, pearls, a pearl brad and flowers.  I have also used cream basil, flowers, homemade flowers, diamond dust, leaves, stitching and a pin stick.  Thanks for the inspiration Kaisercraft. 


And for some reason I cannot get the little photo's to go the correct way.  Sigh, computers are confusing!!  So sorry that they are on their side.

I know this is not scrapbooking but I have had soooo much trouble finding a nice winter dress in the shops for my 5 year old.  Every thing is just too short!!  I hate being dictated to by the shops in what to dress my kids in.  I want her to stay sweet and innocent for as long as possible.  So I bit the bullet and with my Mum's guidance sewed this up.  It took almost two days but boy do I feel satisfied.  I bought the top and necklace from Target but the rest is all my own work.  I feel satisfied and happy with the results.   

Kaisercraft Sat Sketch #4 April

I wasn't planning on giving this Sketch a go.  I have just been so busy but the rainy weather trapped me indoors.  This is again a photo of my little man.  Those of you who know his story know what he goes through.  I took this photo of him walking into the ECDP ( a special school for kids with disabilities that is in preparation for the big school.)  He was three here and I insisted on him carrying his own bag like a big boy.  He goes to class two days a week without me which was strange at first but now I love it.  And they do such a great job there.  It has been almost three months since any seizure activity and it is amazing how he is coming on.  He can talk so much more.  Not sentences but lots of words.  I am so PROUD of him.  When bad seizures are a problem he just gets up and keeps going.

Again I have used a combination of different papers from so many collections.  I started to take note of them but I am sure I have missed a few.  So far I have paper from :- Lilac Avenue, Little Toot Stickers, Miss Nelly, Bugs and Party Animals.  I also used the latest Kaiser stamps.  LOVE those stamps!!  Oh and I had lot's of fun blowing the paint around on the paper.  Who's a big kid?

Kaisercraft April #3 Sat Sketch

This is my take on Kaisercrafts April #3 Sat Sketch.  I found there to be a lot of detail in the original sketch and that bogged me down a bit until I culled a bit of the papers down.  But I love what has evolved from it all.  I also used papers that have been in my stash for a long time waiting for the right photo. (I must learn to tweak photo's on the computer before printing them though.  I find this photo could do with a bit of lighting up.)  The papers are from the Blushed collection.  The pink organza flower in the bottom right is my first attempt at organza home made flowers.  Still got a lot to learn in that area. :)  That is what craft is all about though!!

Kaisercraft Sat Sketch April #2

This is my take on the Kaisercraft Sat Sketch April #2.  One thing I really love about Kaisercraft is that even if the papers come from different collections often they will match.  I have used papers from at least 3 different collections.  My son can pull very funny faces some times for no reason.  This was one of them.......
