catchup!

Its not that i haven't been doing a lot of crafting the past couple of months, I really have! Its just that I haven't been great in documenting it. I'm trying to turn that around this week so there will be a flurry of entries to try and get me back into the blogging swing of things! Above is a drawer bookend by Kaisercraft decorated in Konichiwa papers from basic grey. pretty yes?

Long frame

My daughter bought me a whole stack of great scrap supplies for my recent birthday. It seemed only fitting that I create something that centered on her and her little brother. These kaisercraft frames are great because there isn't too much painting t o do and they look great really quickly. I have visions of filling my walls with these things!

Little Toot

After taking a bit of a break from it I am back on the Kaisercraft bandwagon. There latest ranges have been fantastic. I particularly impressed with Little Toot - a great boy range that is perfect for my little guy. I think what Kaisercraft are trying to do is provide the 'complete' project. The papers correspond perfectly to the mini albums and frames and the embellishments can be used in so many different ways. Cute I think.

Ribbon box

Kaisercraft ribbon box for a crafty friend. Love the Class of 87 papers. Easy 1 hour project.

door plaque

I absolutely love the Party Animals range by Kaisercraft. I have 16 different kids in my world (my own, friends, family, neighbours) so there is always opportunities to do kid friendly stuff. Wolfgang turns One next week and at the same time is moving into a room of his own. So of course a door plaque was in order!

easter

nearly out of bubblegum hills paper so made the flower and the bows out of Nans favourites (Kaisercraft of course).

Tin

Once in a while in our house we treat ourselves to a TV dinner. Last week I broke the beautiful porcelain beaker I usually put the cutlery in. I think this tin, decorated with Kaisercraft's new Nan's Favourites range, with wood flourishes, mini alphas and gingham ribbon will do the trick from now on.

coasters

Great quick project made easier by using my Martha Stewart circle cutter. using Kaisercraft's Secret Bird Society again - plan to use every last scrap of this collection I love it so! I also used kaiserpaint - a base of sea breeze and distressed with raw umber and coated 4 times with mod podge. It was a nice way to spend an hour in the evening that's for sure. A nice birthday gift too!

Christmas decorations

I bought this pack of unpainted wooden shapes ages ago. Each year I like to do a personal decoration for all the kids in my life (which grows every year!) I loved the way they turned out. Because Kaisercraft had the shapes cut out I kept the painted surface simple and folksy. I love Silas' reindeer the best!
