"On The Move"

Greetings!!

I've had some fun creating with the Kaiser On The Move Collection for ANNA'S CRAFT CUPBOARD.  The collection is available in store HERE .

On The Move is quite 'retro' and very masculine in toning.  Once again, the 'Collectables' failed to disappoint with the discovery of some super fun 'classic' elements - great for the 'bigger' and 'littler' guys in our lives. 

Here are some of my creations. 

Layout - 'Classic Moment'

Materials

Kaiser On the Move Collection

P777 Diesel

P772 Accelerate

P773 Propel

CT704 Collectables

PP859 Paper Pad

SS122 Sticker Sheet

BG Chipboard Alphabet Letters

Prima Typography Alphabet Stickers – Printery

The random photo of my girls with their Daddy taken Father's Day this year makes my heart smile.  Absolutely priceless.

  

A few of the Collectable elements have been layered with patterned papers and papers from the Paper Pad.

A Step by Step  for creating this is available on the Anna's Craft Cupboard Blog HERE

'Ready Set Vroom' is all about tapping into the inner rally driver.  Give three littler people a means of transport and there is lots of 'vrooming'.

Layout - 'Ready Set Vroom'

Materials

Kaiser On the Move

·         PS186 Die Cut – Fuel

·         P775 Cylinders

·         P776 Fuel Tank

·         SS122 12 x 12 Sticker Sheet

·         PP859 Paper Pad

Other

·         Cardstock

·         Basic Grey Chipboard Alpha’s

Layout - 'Some Days'

Materials

Kaiser On The Move

·         P774 Take Off

·         SS122 12 x 12 Sticker Sheet

·         PP859 Paper Pad

Other

·         Cardstock

·         Prima – 8” x 10” Typography Alpha Stickers – Printery, Essentials 11 – Romantique, Fairytale Roses – Yellow, Love Letter Roses – Jade, Painterly Petals Hydrangeas Blue, Say It In Crystals

·         ACC Puffy Thickers – Glass Slipper

·         MHC Fantasy – Fairy Dust

·         MFT Die-namics High Tea Party Doily

·         Sizzix and Spellbinder Dies

The softer gray and paler lemon and mint of the collection allowed me to create something more 'girly' with this collection.  I added a Manor House Creations Fantasy bloom and a  kick of aqua blue with Prima blooms.

Thanks so much for dropping by

Our Favorites Things Day Three!

Happy Wednesday to you!

We're back today with more of our favorite things!

We asked the talented Glue Girl designers to pick a favorite project of a fellow designer along with a favorite project of their own.

Today Designer Linda Albrecht had to "try" to select a favorite project from Designer Andrea Budjack! And Ania Lexander chose a favorite of new designer Jaime Warren's!

Linda is up first with her top pick of Andrea's...

Laughter is Love Block Set

http://gluearts.blogspot.com/2011/10/we-love-love-love-websters-page.html

Linda said.. I love everything that she does, but I think that my GA favorite is her "Laughter is Love" blocks that she did recently. I love how she has so many layers and sweet sentiments on her projects. 

and Linda's personal favorite project of her own is...

Maya Road Dress Form

http://www.gluearts.blogspot.com/2011/04/m...oad-is-key.html 

My personal favorite of Linda's (which was so hard to pick!) was her...

and her own favorite project is..

Holiday Countdown Calendar

http://gluearts.blogspot.com/2011/10/welcome-websters-pages-to-gluearts.html

As for personal faves..I'm torn between three projects, each having their own reasons as to why they're faves....like, the booklet/bookframe I made that's my only reminder of my kids at my office (http://gluearts.blogspot.com/2011/05/joy-beyond-words.html)...or the Halloween-project (http://gluearts.blogspot.com/2011/10/were-crafting-boo-boxes-with-gluearts.html) which surprised me because it came together so easily & turned out fairly wicked if I may say so myself..I'm usually not that into themed stuff...
But in terms of usefulness...I guess I have to go with this one, which proved oh so useful to count down to our Paris-vacation!

My favorite of Ania's is.. 

Pinterest Inspired Birthday Card

Festive Greetings

Festive Greetings Everyone!!

   I haven't had much opportunity to get 'here' so..... Firstly, can I send out a big festive "Happy Holiday's" to you all. To all my friends travelling during this time, please take care and stay safe... xx   

Creatively, I have much to share but have not had much opportunity with so much going on.  I am here now (LOL), so we will kick things off with some of my recent creations for Prima.

First up, a little altered festive piece for the table. 

Materials

• #553425 Holiday - Metal
• #552091 Meredith -Merlin
• #553456 Medley - Treasure
• #550462 Trim - Gold
• #547424 Precious Metals Col Gilded

I found the deer in a little decor shop down town.  He already came glittered and a small decoration around his neck.  To the mix, I added some Precious Metals - Gilded Leaves, Holiday- Metal Flowers and a touch of tulle.  Gold Trim and added bells adorn his belly.

  

The sleigh, I have had for a little while now. It usually sits on the table with sweets - though it tends to get empty rather quickly LOL.  

 I have also given it a little makeover to coordinate with the reindeer. A corsage of Prima Medley 'Treasure' and more Holiday - Metal Flowers, Precious Metals - Gilded Leaves and Tulle adorn the back of it.

Sitting in the sleigh, is also a hand made bauble decoration.

To create something similar, there is a step by step available on the Prima BLOG.

Patterned papers from the North Country collection have been incorporated in the creation of this.

Materials

• #843304 North Country Col. Maine Meadow
• #843311 North Country Col. Glacier Roads
• #843267 North Country Col. In The Forest
• #553319 Coventry Rose - Pixie Glen
• #552473 Avon Rose - North Country
• #536152 Monarch Diamond

Next, I have a layout to share.  

This was also created for the challenge blog - "Show Us Your Stuff", where I was featured as a December Guest Designer.  Thanks so much for the invitation and allowing me to play along.

'All I want for Christmas is you'

Materials

• #843311 North Country – Glacier Roads
• #843755 12” x 12” Ledger

• #553289 Coventry Rose – North Country
• #553432 Holiday – Carmine
• #553418 Holiday – Crimson
• #550097 8” x 10” Alphabet – Romantique

I have combined the beautiful Prima North Country Collection with Ledger Papers and Holiday 'Carmine' and 'Crimson' add a gorgeous festive touch.

Finally, I have a little 'positive affirmation' door hanger project to share.

Twiddleybitz Holly Chipboard leaves provide the perfect foundation for adding lots of Prima loveliness.  To the mix, I have added Splendor leaves, Resin, Glitter Twisters, Script birdies, Cradle and a pretty sugar bloom.
