Introducing Billy Blake : )

On the 1st of September we welcomed the beautiful Billy Blake into our family : )  He was born at 10:54 pm, weighing 8 pound 2 ounces or 3695 grams.  He was 50 cm in length.  My labour was induced and it took a long time for anything to happen, but once it did begin, everything went smoothly and I was relieved at (and very grateful for) how much easier it was the second time around.

Nicky is a very proud big brother and has been a wonderful help to me assisting with nappy changes, sharing his bath, checking on Billy, choosing him outfits etc etc.  

These photos were taken the day after Billy was born, in the hospital.  We are super blessed to have these two gorgeous boys to look after and we really cant believe how lucky we are.  I am currently adjusting to sleep deprivation lol! So far Billy has been a very good baby, but has had a bit of wind pain.  Most of my blog posts have been scheduled for September in preparation for a little less time for blogging.  Behind the scenes I have still been crafting away while Billy sleeps so there is plenty more to come here on my blog.  Thanks for stopping by : )

Kaisercraft Traditional Christmas Featuring Silent Night

Today I am sharing a Traditional Christmas Layout featuring the Silent Night Collection.  This is a photo of my friend's two little girls and their cousins.  I love their little Christmas outfits that they are wearing and they go perfectly with the traditional Christmas colours in this collection.

I used the Designer Template - Ornamental and some Impasto paste mixed with red paint to create my background.  I love the red and white with the words from the template.  Then I added a few sprays of Kaisermist and some painted red snowflakes and embellishments to decorate.  I didn't use a lot of papers for this Layout.  I just used a few off cuts of strips and some collectables.

Kaisercraft Frosted Layout with Process Video

Hello, today I am sharing a Christmas Layout and Process Video I have made with the new Kaisercraft "Frosted" Collection.  This is such a pretty collection and is perfect for all of your Christmas projects!  Today I am scrapping a photo of my beautiful niece taken a few years back now.  It goes perfectly with these Winter papers.

I had a lovely time playing with templates and paint and embossing powder and stamps to create the background of this layout.  I have been loving a white background on layouts lately, and I love the white background on this layout with added touches of silver.  White really is one of my favourite colours.  It is so fresh and clean.  Please watch my Process Video showing exactly how I made this layout:

You may know that I am a huge fan of the Kaisercraft Decorative Dies.  In this layout I cut some of the new glitter and foil card stock using some of the lovely Kaisercraft Christmas Decorative Dies.  These dies really do make decorating a Christmas project a breeze and you can cut them in any paper or colour to suit your project.

I used the Wreath die at the base of my photo.

DD535 - Decorative Die Wreath

I added the Holly Die cut from Silver Foil Card Stock and embellished with some Sparklets.

DD327 - Decorative Die Holly

I layered two dies, the Poinsettia leaves and a flower from the Layered Poinsettia die to create this floral cluster.

DD338 - Decorative Die Poinsettia

DD720 - Decorative Die Layered Poinsettia

I also added some lovely collectables to my layout; these gorgeous Christmas trees and little snowflakes.

I hope you enjoyed my layout today and Process Video.

Kaisercraft Silent Night Christmas Card

Over on the Kaisercraft Blog today the Design Team are sharing some beautiful Christmas Cards.  This was my contribution...

I used lots of silver embossing powder on this card and by the end of this creation my whole desk was covered in that silver powder! Thank goodness for Nappy Wipes.  They clean it up super well!

This was fun to create.  I am in LOVE with the silver and red foil and glitter card.  It adds so much sparkle and bling to projects, especially perfect for Christmas.  Thanks for stopping by : )
