Giveaway and Tutorials




This month has been a little crazy and a lot busy.  I have been here there and everywhere and with only one weekend at home this month Im sooooo totally looking forward to Easter and the break.
This month I have taught a few classes and can now share a few of these with you and show you a just what I have been doing.  You 0can download the instructions and create them yourself at home or a version similar.  All the products required are listed on the instructions, although if you see "shared products" on the list you will also need to purchase these as they would have been shared in the class.

IN THE ATTIC - Capture the Good Times
This is a single page that you can open up the door into a double page layout which displays multiple photographs.  Included on the double page is a little book that opens for additional photographs also.

In this class I wanted the participants to be able to look back with gratitude on some of the good times and capture significant moments of their lives at a glance.  If you have pictures that you think would look great on this layout, you can download the instructions HERE....


IN THE ATTIC - Cherish the Moments 
This is a the layout we did in the class just last weekend at Moss Vale.  I went to Sydney to stay with my wonderful friend Lorraine Bate and we went down to Highland Scrapping in Moss Vale where Pam and Bernie made us most welcome..... again..... and took this class.  If you are ever down that way make sure you drop in to them.
Amongst all the fun that was had by all up there just about everyone completed their layout in class. Will post up pics later.   Well done girls and thanks again for a wonderful weekend.
If you would like to do this layout you can be download the insturctions HERE.

And lastly, one more before you get tired of me.

Here is another class but this time in 75 Cents.  Washi tape and printed tape is all the range at the moment so in this class we actually used it to cover the frame instead of painting.  Its a great alternative and even looks hot on he edges of some of the BTP storage instead of painting.

75 Cents - Small Frame Display and Layout
Seriously the skill l0ve to do much and with the gorgeous sticker sheets and collectables, projects just fall together.  Instructions for the above 75 Cents projects can be downloaded HERE....

GIVEAWAY
Now with the ranges disappearing from stores so quickly I have decided to giveaway a set of papers, collectables and sticker sheet from both  75 Cents and In the Attic.  I will randomly pick two people who leaves a comment on this blog (don't forget to leave your email addresses so I can contact you) - 1st drawn will get 75 cents and 2nd In the Attic.  When I return from Easter Break I will notify the winners, therefore for those of you who are wondering -   I will do the random draw next Monday night.  Unfortunately this is only open to Australian/New Zealand residents.

Thanks for taking the time to drop by
chat soon

Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo - Melbourne

Melbourne Scrapbook & Papercraft Expo



Melbourne Scrapbook & Papercraft Expo:  Australia’s premier event for people who love scrapbooking, card making, stamping, photography and digital scrapbooking is coming to Melbourne for the first time on March 1 to 3, 2013 from Friday to Sunday.

Once again Kaisercraft will have a stand and a classroom where both myself and Kylie Obst will be teaching classes over the three days using some of our very latest and soon to be released papers.

CAPTURE THE GOOD TIMES
Celebrate you! in one of the classes i will be teaching using a brand new collection not yet released - In the Attic......   Capture the significant moments of your life at a glance as you create this vintage styled double page layout, which features multiple photos and other little surprises that open and close.  Hopefully a fun class that will make you look back over your life with gratitude for all the things you have.

If you are interested in this joining me for this class you can book a spot HERE


MEMORIES ON DISPLAY
There are always a few special photographs that you want to put on display. In this class you will be decorating a Photo Display using a variety of techniques including a silhouette feature in one of the frames. Time permitting we will be thrifty and use the leftovers on a single page layout.  You will receive a Kaisercraft Mini Photo Display Frame, papers, tape, wooden flourishes and matching embellishments to complete both the frame and layout.
If you are interested in this joining me for this class you can book a spot HERE



There are plenty of other great classes on during the weekend so even if you don't do one of mine make sure you book something.....  There are gorgeous ones to choose from.  Pop by the stand to have a look at some of our new products on display and say hello - I'll be teaching in the morning and afternoon but on the stand over lunch time. I look forward to catch up with you then.

Im not really sure what happened when i last tried to post these project but some of my pictures didn't upload so being February and now that BASECOAT has finally been released I thought i would quickly show you again and hopefully this time the projects can be seen.This range is so very very versatile especially for Beyond the Page and all of Kaisercraft's storage solutions.

As you can see BASECOAT - is a range of backgrounds that can be used over and over again - from base of a layout to covering our mdf frames to make them look "real".  It also looks awesome on many of our storage solutions.

CHA - New Release JANUARY

Another one of Kaisercraft's gorgeous new releases for January is MARIGOLD.  
Visit Kaisercraft to see the full range.   Like Secret Admirer which I shared yesterday - I personally love these papers.  The background i used below for this layout is a favourite and i really didn't have to do much.  Have to admit the colours are some of my very favourites which always helps.


The Abstract frame looks lovely using these papers.
Used Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink along
with Rock Candy Crackle Paint and Perfect Pearl Mists to create
 a rustic looking Orante frame.
