Kaisercraft secret garden,paper collection and matching collectables. Here I layered some of the doily collectables on top of one another with foam pads, and just went to town with ribbon,lace and flowers,and punched leaves.The pretty lace on the bottom card was a brilliant find in a second hand shop in a country town outside of Adelaide . I visited there with my sister last time I was on holidays’ and found lots of interesting buttons and lace! Today is so much cooler here, it’s lovely, so I am enjoying some relaxing time in the craft room. Til tomorrow….

revisiting Kaisercraft secret garden..
True to my new years resolution I pulled out some old paper the other day, first up is Kaisercraft secret garden. I loved this paper collection when it came out so I have a lot of it , and I still love it, so it didn’t make the lose it pile – I made a few cards which I will show over the next couple days and the rest has gone back into the shelves.The interesting thibng about this exercise is that since buying the paper I have new dies, stamps etc, so the cards I am making now with the old paper look nothing like the cards I made originally! The top card has some butterflies that I stamped onto patterned paper and fussy cut out, the bottom card has a die cut butterfly ( a memory box die), and I added a doily and sequins to that one. Super hot day here, I jumped into a cold shower as soon as I got home – feel so overheated.salads again for tea, this feels like a long summer this year – looking forward to a pot of soup as soon as we get some cold weather.

Kaisercraft secret garden 11 and 12
we are coming to the end of my secret garden series – only one more after these two I think!Top card – kaisercraft secret garden 6″ pad,collectables and a kaisercraft leaf die, spellbinders happy birthday die,and assorted butterfly dies and punches. For the bottom card I used a piece of 12 x 12 paper – In all kaisercrafts’ ranges now they have a couple of 12 x 12 sheets with what they call card fronts on them. I don’t think I have used one without changing it but that is half the fun! I covered a couple of the words on this one with some lace and ribbon. Some lovely flowers and punched butterflies to finish! started work at 6 am this morning, the good thing about that is finishing early, but I am off now for a bit of a nanna nap!Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft secret garden 7 and 8
I have taken a short break from the craft room, where I am planning out August/september lessons, to post a couple of new cards. We are back to my Kaisercraft secret garden series, and for both of these cards I have used lots of lovely lace and ribbon, along with some dies , mainly kaisercraft – they are my new favourite brand of die as they cut through so easily, and both cards use paper from the 6″ pad.Of course I have also used the matching collectables.it’s very cold here today – I am not sure we have even reached double digits, so I don’t know how much longer I will be in the craft room before I retire to the seat closest to the heater!Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Secret garden 3….
Kaisercraft secret garden 6′ paper pad and matching collectables. Stampin up cardstck and ribbon. Mum gave me the die cut label, so I am not sure what brand it is, and I added some bling. love pink and blue together! I have spent a little time in the craft room today, the last couple of days I have been concentrating on lessons and some customer orders, but today I just sat and created. I pulled out some very old graphic 45 papers ( a ladies diary, baby to bride and le romantique) . I had bits and pieces of each one, but the colours are very similar so I combined them all and made a few cards. I had promised myself I would start using up some of these older papers, so feel good that I have started! til tomorrow..
