Fun Fair makes great cards

Welcome to my second post in only one day. In keeping with the circus theme check out this bright card for a baby boy. It uses the same range of paper "Fun Fair" from Kaiser that I am using in my Scrapping Class for tomorrow (see below for a sneak peek). It is just a little different to the usual baby cards that I make with their pastel colours. Enjoy. I hope I have given you some wee bit of INSPIRATION.

Wednesday Morning Scrapbooking 11th Nov 09

Hi to everyone,

This weeks class is very bright and colourful. I have used Kaisers range of "Fun Fair" papers. I've been in the mood for a little clowning around and these papers are just what I need. You can see that they make beautiful pages for Show, Circus, Zoo, Monkey Around, Baby Boy, Toddler and many other themes. Sometimes you just need to think outside the box.

I have used 4 photos on my layout, cropped 2 into circles and left the other 2 as standard landscape, but as always we can work around your own photos. Some Crystal Effects Glaze and red ultra fine glitter are a must when doing this layout. A few bright buttons are needed with some string for tying them and also for the animals tails. I have used some joggily eyes for my animals. Other templates and punches will be provided for in the class. Class starts at 9:30 -12:30 pm at the cost of $15 with morning tea provided. All the papers are available from Hooked on Scrapbooking on the day of the class. Please don't forget to bring your basic scrapbooking kit.

I look forward to seeing you.

Wednesday Morning Scrapbooking 28th Oct

Time for another sneak peek of this weeks Scrapping Class to be held at Hooked on Scrapbooking, Edith Street Innisfail. The theme is Heritage or Family Tradition. I Have used a range of papers from Basic Grey "Mellow". The tree is designed by me and features heart shaped leaves. I have used a large 8 x 10" photo cropped a little on the first page and two standard 4 x 6" for the second page. As usual this layout can be adapted to suit your own size of photos and other various themes such as outdoor, autumn, gardening. I look forward to seeing you in class.

Tea bag folding

Hi fellow crafters,

I have a little card here for you to help inspire those X'mas ideas. The tree is just formed from a series of teabag folds. Starting with a square of 7cm then 6cm, 5cm, 4cm, and lastly 3cm at the top. In a envelope the tree sits perfectly flat, but when put on display it really pops to give the branches a lifelike look. I have kept the rest of the card fairly simple just using ribbon and a christmas rub-on. The colour combination I have used is Always Artichoke, Rose Red, and Baja Breeze.

One for the Boys

Just a quick post to show you a card using Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black and Pacific Point (not my favourite colour but I'm learning to use it). The Skull stamp is a small one used from Stamp It. I've used my trusty old dymo labeller for the Happy Birthday. The Large Skull has been cut from the Cricut machine using Indy Art cartridge and coated with Crystal Effects. Enjoy.

Yummy

With soaring temperatures here in North Queensland, and dust from storms reaching us also, I thought we could use a little cooling off. What a cute card for a girl of any age. Remember that ice-cream comes in any flavour these days so you could always do it for a boy using Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue (banana, mint, and blueberry flavoured ice-cream). That sounds so yummy I might do one for myself.
If you don't already own a scallop circle punch this is just another reason why you should. By cutting off 5 scallops it works so well as a scoop of ice-cream. Notice the grid technique for the waffle cone. It is just done using a bone scorer and ruler.
I have used for the sprinkles a stamp from the Itty Bitty Backgrounds (which is unfortunately discontinued), but you could dot in sprinkles with a writer pen. I have also dotted a little Crystal Effects to make them glossy.
Happy Birthday sentiment is from Occasional greetings.
Colours used are:
Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, Creamy Caramel. How Delicious it all sounds.
Enjoy
