Kaisercraft Sage and Grace Publication - "Love Layout"

Hello Crafty Friends,

Now that I am going back through all my Sage and Grace projects and blogging them I can see how much I really loved this collection.  You know that you love a collection when you can just keep making things out of it!  I'm not sick of this collection yet...

This was the first Layout I made with Sage and Grace, months ago and it is extra special because it is featured on the Kaisercraft Blog for the month of May and published in the Kaisercraft Magazine...on the front cover!! This was my first time at every being on the front cover of the magazine.  An incredible honour!!

This Layout is a photo of me on my wedding day back in 2002.

I enjoyed making this layout and have written instructions for anyone who might be interested in re-creating it.  They can be found on the Kaisercraft website here.

Still a few more Sage and Grace projects to share with you yet.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Kaisercraft Sage and Grace Layout - Cherish

Hello Crafty Friends,

I'm having a bit of a blogging catch up before the end of the month looms.  Today I am sharing another Sage and Grace Layout.  This photo was taken about eight years ago I think, at my friend's wedding.  I'm one of the bridesmaids in the picture (back left-hand side of the bride).  I have scrapped photos of this wedding before.  I do love scrapping wedding photos.  This wedding was arguably one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to.  Cost a small fortune I am pretty sure, because everything was just picture perfect.

Some of the things I love about the Sage and Grace collection in this layout is the pretty pink polka-dot paper.  I just love polka-dots.  I love the weathered white wood paper...love this look and would have a house full of it...hopefully I will one day.  I am also loving that big flower sticker across the front.  I really wanted to use that in a layout and that was the inspiration for this design.  I'm also a big fan of the pretty rose gold paper that I fussy cut to add some decorations around the photo.

I have very happy memories of this photo...we were pampered with massages, pedicures and manicures the day before, then make up and hair on the day.  Everything was just perfection.  I love looking back on these older photos...special memories shared with special friends.

Thanks for stopping by : )

Kaisercraft Sage and Grace Layout - A Special Memory

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's no secret that I love this Sage and Grace Collection by Kaisercraft.  There is something perfect in this collection for me.  I love the colours, the flowers, the romantic, soft theme.  I have really enjoyed using it this month.

I'm on a bit of a mission to scrap more of my own photos.  I have scrapped a lot of everybody else's photos this past year.  One of my friends said to me..."you must have some lovely albums of the boys" and I said, "to be honest I don't.  The papers are often so girly, I'm often on the look out for a photo to match the collection." 

After I thought about this conversation I thought, that's a little sad isn't it.  Maybe I could scrap more of my own memories instead of other peoples. 

In this Layout I'm using one of my photos and its one of my most special moments.  To cradle these beautiful boys in my arms is a gift I am forever grateful for.  And a moment I always want to remember.  Luckily the colours match too (with a little tweaking in pic monkey).  I'm happy this layout is a memory of the boys.  Now I just have to solve my storage problem for all those chunky layouts....that will have to be saved for another day.  

Thanks for stopping by : )

Kaisercraft Base Coat IV Layout

Hi Blogging Friends,

I'm sharing a Kaisercraft Layout today made with the new Basecoat IV Collection.  This is a photo of Nicky and I at the park.  Nicky has had two eye operations in his short little life and this was a few days after his second one so he is not wearing his glasses.  He doesn't have binocular vision which means his eyes work separately and therefore don't appear straight.  The second operation has made a big improvement.  He still needs his glasses, but now they look much straighter while he wears them.

The new Basecoat IV collection is a bonus collection this month.  Perfect for Masculine Layouts and Beyond the Page Projects.

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day.

Kaisercraft Sage and Grace Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

You wouldn't believe this card took me about 15 minutes to make would you?  Well its true.  This was a last minute rush card that came together so well... isn't it nice when that happens.  I was running late on a Kaisercraft deadline and I was happy to make it quickly one night while the boys were in bed amongst my mess in the craft room ; ) 

The Sage and Grace collection is a real beauty...I love this style of collection by Kaisercraft...so feminine, pretty.  This card has a lot of dimension and will certainly need a big envelope.
