Publication - Kaisercraft "Fly Free" Set of Cards

Publication - Kaisercraft "Fly Free" Set of Cards by Alicia McNamara

Another Publication I am sharing today this one is from Australian Cardmaking Stamping and Papercraft Vol 22 No 5.

I made this set of cards with the Kaisercraft "Fly Free" Collection.  These cards were simple to construct using the Kaisercraft card panels.  I like the birds and the pretty colours.

Again they were photographed beautifully by the wonderful team at the magazine...how cute is that little nest with eggs!

I recently gave one of these cards to my Mum for her birthday and she loved it : )

Thanks for stopping by,

New Publication - Amy Tangerine "Stitched"

Amy Tangerine Stitched Quick 10 by Alicia McNamara

Just popping by today to share a newish Publication in Australian Cardmaking Stamping and Papercraft Magazine Vol 22 No 4.  

I made this set of 10 Quick Cards using the Amy Tangerine "Stitched" Collection.  I was also super honoured to write a few paragraphs for the Inspiration Board in this magazine on Page 49 if you have a copy of the issue.  

I really admire the way these cards were photographed.  I love the spools of colourful thread in the background.  It is such a thrill to see your own cards published in a magazine...every time I have to pinch myself...I find it so hard to believe they are mine : )

Over at the Kaisercraft Blog today its all about Valentines cards!
I suppose Valentines day will be here before we know it! January has whizzed past.
I'm still very much feeling like I am at the beginning of January...but not according to the calendar lol!  Have to get myself a bit more organised ; )

This was the card I made using the True Love Collection.  I went for untraditional Valentines Colours...black, white, green and peach with a touch of baby pink in the doily.

I'm working hard behind the scenes on my February Kaisercraft projects...two lovely collections coming up soon...can't wait to share them with you.

Kaisercraft #Me, This is Me Layout


Kaisercraft #Me Layout by Alicia McNamara

Hello!
A rare scrapbooked photo of just me today.  Over at Kaisercraft today the challenge was to scrap a photo of yourself using the lovely #Me collection.

This photo was a selfie I took of myself after I had just had my hair done...you know that awesome feeling when you have just walked out of the hairdressers and you think why cant my hair look like this every day?  I have gotten in the habit of taking a photo of my freshly cut and styled hair to remind myself my hair can look this good lol!!  If only I had the hair dressing skills and patience to re-create the look on a daily basis!

The other part of the challenge for this Layout was to use the stickers CT848 from this collection.  I used lots of the horizontal strip stickers to make this layout.

Kaisercraft True Love "Happy" Layout by Alicia McNamara

The challenge over at the Kaisercraft Blog today was to use some speciality paper from the True Love Collection to make a Layout of your One True Love.
My husband was pleased to see he made the cut lol!!
This was a photo of us at the park one day after going to the beach.  Nicky refused to be in the photo so we ended up taking a rare photo of just the two of us.

I chose the PS439 Hearts | Gold Foil Paper to make my Layout with:
