Collettes Cards

Oh my golly gumdrops….you have to see this sweet little bookshelf to fall in love with it! I decided to make one for each of my boys! We have no family in Australia, some live in the UK and Ireland, some have passed. I decided to dedicate one little book for each family member, going back as far as I can. This little shelf can fit quite a few albums and I have really enjoyed compiling information on our extended family!

I love the wood effect paper in this collection ( P2065 Library Card), it is so rich and authentic!   The mini albums measure a sweet 3″ wide x 4″ tall.

Love using the Kasier stamp pads to colour my wood. On this project,  Ink Pad ‘726 Island’ looks washed, I love that!  Run your pad along the wood, one way will run smoothly, the other will be rough, obviously go with the smooth!   I love the Kaisercraft corked bottles, they are super cute! Here I have filled one with sand and the other with some of my sons prized mini...

TIME MACHINE COLLECTION This collection is so many peoples favourite, I sold out so quickly in my shop but have re-stocked! I thought I would share some of the beautiful wood items that I have created with these papers. “Tool Box” This is the fourth ‘Tool Box’ that I have made, they are just so darn practical! They can store so many goodies including your paint or mist collection! This one is not for me, its for the man in my life as one of his Fathers Day gifts. I know he will love it!

I made this little box of cards using the "Hello Today" collection from Kaisercraft. It will make a lovely gift for one of my friends who love hand made cards but who cannot make them themselves.

This is Jack, he was the cutest baby. Here I have used one of Kaisercrafts mini frames that I can hang on the wall of my studio...isn't it gorgeous? It is also very easy to do, hope you get to try one! The papers are from the "Hello Today" collection from Kaisercraft.
