This is my last blog for a couple a weeks while I go on my Cruise. We leave tomorrow so today has been a mad rush to finish packing, and do some shopping for the menfolk ( they have their menu plan written out so they are quite organised!). Today is a good day to finish up with my Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Lane collection. I have enjoyed making with this collection and I do still have some left, so we will revisit it at some stage.The top card is layers of papers from the 6″ pad,with a collectable , lace, ribbon and a hat pin ( by Prima). the lower card has a die cut Ornate circle ( paper rose) and a collectable.That’s all from me for now, see you all in 2 weeks!

Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Lane number 7..
Working with the blue shades from the Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Lane collection,I came up with this one which uses some dies and punches to make the flower, and a very old button from my collection to highlight the tag. The papers are from the 6″ pad,and I have layered a couple of the pull apart tags inking around all the edges with Tea Dye distress ink.I spent a lovely hour over at Paper Flourish today, browsing,chatting and buying, I bought a few more copic markers as I am trying to build my collection, and picked up some lovely papers from Bo Bunny called Petal Lane ( gorgeous papers in shades of soft pink and yellow with pops of black) and a new Kaisercraft 6″ paper pad called Hanami Garden which is a Japanese inspired collection.Now I am off to the craft room to create! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Lane number 1…
Today we are starting a new collection of cards made with Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Lane paper collection. I love this collection, and the class I am teaching this week uses this paper too!This card has papers from the 6″ pad, and matching collectables on it. I have added some flowers, ribbon and lace ( I picked this lace up in an op shop in a country town close to Adelaide)Just a quick post today as I must go and organise tea, til tomorrow….
Another Pleating technique
After mastering the previous pleating technique, I stepped it up and tried aone that was a little more difficult. Lots of measuring on this one, but well worth the effort for the finished product.I am just hoping as I sit here that i have filed away the measurements! As the paper I used was so close to the background layer I inked the edges of the pleats to define it a little bit.The flowers I added were from Kaisercraft and i added a punched leaf and a ribbon bow to finish.The paper collection is Kaisercraft True Romance, and older release ,but one of my favourites.I have a really sore shoulder today, and not much use of my right arm, so I think the craft room is out of the question this weekend,looks like a reading weekend for relaxation! Til tomorrow…
The lake House number 9
Still working with kaisercraft The Lake House collection – this time the 6″ pad and matching collectables. I inked all the edges with my distress inks, and added some little flowers die cut with my Tim Holtz tattered florals garland die, and some kaisercraft rhinestones. Quick post tonight as I have to get my bags ready for our big xmas cards for the troops marathon tomorrow. It should be a very busy day with a goal of 200 cards to reach – I will let you know if we reach it! Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 a ladies diary card number 3
This is my favourite piece of paper from the Graphic 45 a ladies Diary collection, so didn’t do too much to it – just sponged around the edges, and mounted it on a couple of layers of bazzil cardstock, before mounting that onto another piece of patterned paper and then the whole lot onto my stampin Up Blushing Bride cardstock base. I added a matching chipboard, piece of lace and a stampin Up vintage brad.Hope to get into the card room tonight – I have put a heater in there so no excuse! Til tomorrow…..
