Style Lounge - Shabby Chic

On the Aussie Scrap Source Blog they are running a new weekly reader's challenge. Each week they reveal a new style from one of their amazing design team and your mission is to create a layout in that style. They have some prizes up for grabs too.

The first style featured was Shabby Chic and featured some gorgeous samples from Janine Koczwara. I based my layout on her first sample layout.

 Here is a closer look at some of the layers and this sweet photo that I adore of my mum and I.

Isn't that little butterfly stick pin sweet. Lisa Walsh makes them and Vicki has them for sale at Angels R Scrappin.

Hope you find the time to try out some different styles. I think this will be a really fun challenge.

Happy scrapping

All things Kaiser

I stumbled across the fact that Kaisercraft had a Design team call (which ends today eek!!). Check their blog here for more details.

Naturally, I didn't have time to come up with eight new projects but looking back through my recent projects I found a lot of Kaisercraft products. Obviously I have a thing for Kaisercraft lol.

First up I have two layouts with the Up Up and Away Range.

I can't remember the name of this range but the oranges and blues made a really vibrant colour scheme. This was a challenge pack from my local Scrapbook Shop Angels R Scrappin.

Some black and grey elegance (and I think most of a sheet of rubons!!) from the After Five Collection.

Papers from one of the earlier boy ranges combined with woven embellishments from Rewind.

The Jungle Bug collection features some very cute bugs to go with two of my little bugs....

Here is my Prairie Lane Card Set which I taught at Angel's R Scrappin.

I also designed and taught a card class using the yummy Tea at Elsie's range. Here are two of the cards.

Thanks for joining in me in my little review of my Kaisercraft projects.

April Counterfeit Kit Challenge Video

Hippity Hoppity Counterfeit Kit Club April Blog Hop

Welcome to the April Counterfeit Kit Club Blog Hop. If you are new to the hop you can visit Counterfeit Kit Challenge here to get started or just continue on from here.

This was my first month joining in with the challenges and my first counterfeit kit. I have to say that I loved it. I have created so many layouts and really felt inspired to scrap. The limitations of a kit work really well for me.

This month's blog hop challenge is a fun one too..we were to visit the design team's blogs and be inspired (easy peasey they had so many gorgeous projects).

I fell in love with Lisa Tottie's Park Day layout here (and how jealous am I that she got to meet Tim Holtz!!).

There was so much about this layout I loved, the little banner, stamping on the edges, misting and masking. Lisa's layout was gorgeous and I am so happy with my cased layout.

I have used my Counterfeit Kit and added in the Tim Holtz Love ticket, Basic Grey Chipboard letters, Rose Moka little letter stickers and of course some ink and mist.

To see all the layouts I created with my April Counterfeit kit just scroll down. 

Your next stop on the blog hop is with the fabulous Lesa here.

Enjoy the hop and don't forget to leave a comment to let me know you stopped by.

Love You Layout 5 (or is it 6)

Another layout from my April Counterfeit Kit. I love the bright papers on a black background. They really pop and I wanted something bright and fun for this cute picture of my little boy Ben way back in 2003.
The papers and letter stickers are from Echo Park. I added in some felt flowers that were sitting on my desk. I can't remember the manufacturer (maybe Bella??). The label stickers are by October Afternoon.

Here is a closer look at the layered stickers and flowers (and my cute boy).

Wet and Wild - Mini Challenge 1

The first monthly mini challenge at Counterfeit Kits is to use memorabilia on a page. I have sewn a pocket to hold the brochure and park map from our trip to Wet and Wild on the Gold Coast last year.

The Wet and Wild title came from the cardboard presentation folder that the photo came in. Unfortunately this is the only photo we have from Wet and Wild as my camera died on our holiday by about day 3 I think. So the photo from the ride is all we have which is why it is great to have the brochure included on my page.

I am seriously running out of kit now but I have another two layouts to share (you will have to wait for the Counterfeit Kit blog hop for one). I think I might be able to squeeze one more layout out of the kit but then that is it all done. Can't wait for the 5th May to start making my next kit.

T & S

My fourth layout from my April Counterfeit Kit.

Most of this page is from my kit, MME and Echo Park papers, journalling spot used for my title from Making Memories, flowers cut with my Stampin' Up! Boho Blossoms punch and layered on some Prima Flowers.

I added in some leaves cut from Scenic Route paper, black ribbon, a black arrow border and made another heart transparency.

I have also splashed some black mist across the page.

I am fast running out of kit...hope I have enough left to tackle the mini challenges.

Happy Scrapping
