A Burst of Color with Majestic Morning

Today I'm excited to share with you a layout I created for Heartfelt Creations using the latest release Majestic Morning.  All of the flowers are of course handmade and colored.  I think the colors from this picture of my youngest couldn't have been more perfect...Who would have thought these colors and a boys layout. 

Be sure to see all the products and detailed directions on how I made this layout and have creating your own.

Other Products Used: Spellbinders Die: Fanciful Lattice, X-acto Tool, Viva Decor Liquid Pearls, Kaisercraft Rhinestones, Inks, Xyron Foam Tape, Card Stock, McGill Flower tools and pad

Directions: Add a dot of liquid pearls to each of the centers of the designer paper as shown.  This add great base texture.  Be sure to let this dry.
Using an X-acto tool fussy cut the just a portion of the sunburst pattern on the base paper.  You will do this for both sunburst patterns top left and bottom right.  Cut panel from designer paper and tuck into the cuts of the sunburst paper as shown and glue with the zip dries.  Layer your panels up and top off with a die cut of the Fanciful Lattice attached with foam tape. Finish off the layers with your photo.  Stamp both the Vintage Morning and the Majestic Morning flowers and cut out with coordinating die.  Color the petals with ink variegating the color with yellow in the centers and pink on the outer edges.  Curl your base petals and layer together with Dries Clear Glue. For the center of your flowers mold up the petals upward and glue together in a loose ball.  This will finish up the center of your Majestic flowers, I left one flower open in the center.  Stamp Delicate Asters with orange ink and cut with matching die. Cover each flower with coordinating ink in a lighter shade. Bend each petal upward with a pair of tweezers and curl some of the end into an arch.  Layer your flowers and glue with the dries clear.  Finish the centers with a rhinestone and then around each rhinestone add a dollop of liquid pearls in a circle as shown and let dry completely.  Stamp various sizes of leaves out and cut with matching die.  Color your leaves with ink.  Curl, bend and twist your leaves using the McGill Flower tools to give them dimension. Cluster your flowers and leaves around your picture as shown.  Finish off the layout with the Memories sentiment cut out and foam taped to the bottom left of the picture.  Cut out two tags and nestle in your flower cluster as shown with the " love tag" and the " Cherish tag". 

Castles in the Sand with Rock Pool

I sure do miss my youngest at this age.  I can't believe how fast he's growing up and I'm just treasuring each and everyday with my kids.  This was such a great day at the beach.  We didn't actually build any of the castles we just happened upon them on a walk but Cole took no ttime in making himself right at home. 

The paper collection is stunning for your beach pictures.  It's called Rock Pool from KaiserCraft and I love the color combo.  I also used Cheery Lynn dies on the layout.  

Magnolia Grove is Mother's Day Perfect

I know I say I love most of KaiserCraft's collections, but honestly it's true and Magnolia Grove is no exception.  The color combos are just so shabby and beautiful.  This is a photo of my sister Gini and my beautiful mother some years ago.  Funny how everything comes back in style like my Mom's hair.  

I really like to take some of Kaiser's fancy printed papers and fussy cut them out to pop off the page like the blue flowers along the side.  They are actually part of the base page but with an xacto tool they can be so much more. 

KaiserCraft has also just released some new ink pads and they are so wonderful.  They are very opaque and make for some rich color with stamping.

KaiserCraft Goes Technologic

This is one of KaiserCraft's latest collections "Technologic". I used the collection on a layout I did using pictures from Macy's Christmas Window...believe it or not.  Macy's was my favorite window this Christmas and I thought the collection was perfect. 

Central Park meets Lil Primrose

Have you seen the latest release from KaiserCraft...Lil Primrose.  You're going to love it.  This is a layout I created using Lil Primrose.  I love this shot I got back in December in Central Park and when I looked at the colors, I thought it would go great with Lil Primrose.

I used one of the Saturday Sketches from Kasier...do you ever play along?  You could win a collection if you did. Click Here to find out more information.

I also used Epiphany tools and bubble caps on the title...love, love, love Epiphany.  You can create any custom embellishments that are a perfect fit for your projects.

Have a great weekend and I'll see you next week.

Pure Beauty Layout

Two things I adore...My beautiful mother (who is photographed here) and this new line from KaiserCraft "Sweet Nothings"  It's just so beautiful. 

Some of my flowers are the layout are handmade and some of them are Kaiser's paperblooms that have been topped of with a pearl brad. 

I really liked the effect that the ripped paper gave this layout.  I did do it very controlled with an Xacto tool, quilling tool and some distress ink.  The vintage feel this techinque gives is just perfect.

I hope I've made you drool just a little over the Sweet Nothings collection...be sure to pick yours up today. 

I also used a Cheery Lynn die, Polynesian Sails.  With my handmade flowers this layout qualifies for Cheery Lynns Current Challenge: Handmade Flowers...

Hugs,

Play Wild with KaiserCraft

Who hasn't seen a five year old "Play Wild"...that is the only way my little one knows how to play.  This layout was done using Kaiser's Cock-A-Doodle-Do collection that is just perfect  for kid themed projects. 

I know banners have been hot for a while, but I still love them. 

The picket fence was stamped and then fussy cut out and it made a great border along the layout. 

Lots more coming this week, so be sure to turn back in...

Hugs,
