Meet Rock Pool the latest collection from KaiserCraft.  It's great for the summer season that is right around the corner.  One of the things that really appeals to me about this collection is the color combo.  It's not your average beach palette, yet it really works together.  Cute yet sophisticated. 

I loved making all the clusters of goodies on my Rock Pool projects.  Can think of a better place to hide some pearls...and yes I do so love pearls.  LOL

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.

Kicking it off with Prickley Pear

Happy Monday everyone!  We are kicking of the week with Prickley Pear Design Team Monday.  This is a card I came up with PPRS and also the newest collection of Authentique.  I think there is a bit of an Asian flare, what do you think?

Of course you know I had to pop some butterflies on for an extra flight.  Have a great week and check back in as I'll be posting a lot of KaiserCraft goodies this week. 

Dreaming with Charlotte's Dream

OK, so many of you probably think I've been MIA this week and I suppose I have...so sorry.  Work has just been great but crazy and I just needed to force myself to sit down and writes some posts.  

Today I have a card I created for KaiserCraft using the Charlotte's Dream collection.  This is such a shabby vintage collections...I LOVE IT.  

Hope everyone is having a great week and I'll see you in a few days.  

Mother's Day is Right Around the Corner

Mother's Day is right around the corner and I can't think of anything better to give her than a handmade gift.  This is a wall plaque that I created using KaiserCraft's new line Charlotte's Dream.  It's an elegant paper, that I really enjoyed working with. 

I created the three dimensional flowers using Cheery Lynn Stackables and distress with ink around the edges.  I had to top of the flowers with a KaiserCraft pearl brad...I could bath in those things, one of my favorite products of all times. 

The edges of all of the canvases were water and ink distressed to give that heritage feel.  

This project qualifies for Cheery Lynn current challenge: Mothers

Fine and Sunny Mini Album with KaiserCraft

So this is one of those projects that I finished and LOVED IT!  As I've told you before in the past many of my projects have to grow on me for a day or two but rarely I'll finish something and think...YEAH!!!  this is one of the projects.  Everything about it, I love.  The handmade flowers are just perfect.  I used Cheery Lynn dies to create the cluster on the front. 

The collection is from KaiserCraft called Fine and Sunny.  The stamp set that was included with the collection had banners...one of my many weaknesses.  I so dig banners.  Well, that and tickets.  Can't tell you what the heck my obsession is with them but I think they are so cool so I had to throw some banner action in at the top. 

So here are some shots of the rest of the book. 

This book qualifies for the current challenge over at Cheery Lynn Dies: Mothers.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of my mini book...always curious.  

Friday Flair with Unity

I don't know about you but I am so happy it's the weekend.  To kick it off I created this card using Unity Stamps and Cheery Lynn Dies.  I also using a ton of distress ink...what in the world would I do without that stuff.  Love it.  

Stay tuned because I have a couple more projects I'll be posting this weekend. 

This card qualifies for the Friends with Flair Friend Blog Hop. 

Goodbye to Heartfelt Creations

I have been very blessed for the past year to serve on Heartfelt Creations Design team.  They have such beautiful stamps and dies but more than anything they are truly a wonderful family company to work with.  After a year of creative inspiration it's time for me to pass the design team torch onto another artist.  Of course I'll be checking in on Heartfelt's blog and I hope you will to, watching all the new collections and artwork.

This is my last card for Heartfelt and it's from the Bella Rose Collection.  This was one of my favorites during my term.  I think just looking at this card you can understand why.  Please check out the rest of the design team  projects this week and also the announcement of the continuing design team and the new design team members.

Fine and Sunny with KaiserCraft

KaiserCraft's latest collection is Fine and Sunny and it's such a cheery collection.   This is a layout I created of my son from last Easter.  Don't the colors just make you smile.  

I love banners,so I had to pop a few on the layout.  KaiserCraft has a coordinating stamp set that has two different banners on it...LOVE IT!!!

Have a great week!!

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.
