Kaisercraft Class of '87 Collection Reveal #1

Get back to school with Kaisercraft's Class of '87 Collection

This collection is obviously so well suited for all of our happy school memories and perfect for scrapping our back to school photos - especially with a brand new school year kicking off. Although I do have a school aged daughter, this collection inspired me to create an at the moment 'life' layout dedicated to my daughter. As she makes her way through this big wide wonderful world learning life's ABC's along the way, I am so proud of her and the gorgeous person that she is growing into. Already she displays beautiful characteristics that far exceed her young years.

Scrapping Outback DT Kit Reveal

Greetings!!

This is the super gorgeous kit that I have been playing with and is now available for sale in the Scrapping Outback Store HERE.



**SIGH** It has just the right amount of 'sweetness' - wouldn't you agree?!

I absolutely adore these papers and the kit also contained a beautiful Scrapware chipboard flourish which I have utalised on both layouts.

Here are my layouts that I created from the kit.

'Mine'



And a closer look



I did add some misting to the base cardstock - From my stash, I played with some Cosmic Shimmer Mists - Bronze Blush and Peacock Green.



'Sweet at 3'



And a closer look



I used the chipboard flourish to create a mask effect to the background cardstock. From my stash, I played with Cosmic Shimmer Mist - Bronze Blush and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists - Coral and Patina to create the effect.



Check out the Scrapping Outback FORUM for the creative process for both of these.
