CHA Kaisercraft

Hi there! Whew, I am sure glad to be home from CHA. The trip was fun, but always lots of work too! Over the next few days I will show you some pics that I took at the show. Today I am sharing a few from the Kaisercraft booth. Robin and I were lucky enough to have two spots in their make and take. We made cute little notebooks like the ones above. I really liked the collections pictured above, they were some of my favorites. I didn't get a pic of the collection that the little bird journal was made from. I think my head was spinning from all of the excitement at being at CHA.

Tomorrow, I will share an extra special picture that I took of a display board created by a dear friend of mine for Inky Antics.

Reindeer Rex

Isn't this little puppy cute? He is from Poppystamps (a little division of Memory Box). I colored him to look similar to my little dog Wags (see photo to the right). Wags has a couple of very light tan spots, but is mostly white. Some say he is a Parson Russell Terrier, but we are not sure as he was a rescue dog. It doesn't matter what he is, we LOVE him!

I stamped a snowflake from Kaisercraft's Merry Christmas clear set in Versamagic White ink on a PL Kraft card, I then layered this fun red dot cardstock to an ivory panel that was punched with the EK Scallop Scallop Edger punch. I also punched one side of an aqua dot panel and layered with red dot and the image panel. Both of the dot cardstocks are from the Poppystamps Snow and Cedar 6 x 6 paper pack. Rex was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and spotted with my E31 Copic marker, the edges of the spots were softened with my Copic Colorless Blender. I paper pieced his scarf and then I cut the aqua dot snowflake out with my Cuttlebug die and inked it and the wooden snowflake from Kaisercraft with my Glue pad and covered them with Vintage Glass Glitter and combined the two with an aqua pearl brad from American Crafts. I purchased my Poppystamps and Kaisercraft goodies here.

A little book

Here is a little book that I made using one of Kaisercraft's little board books. These books come in a pack of 3. You can fit 12 books on a little bookshelf that is also made by Kaisercraft. I covered the book with paper from My Mind's Eye's Bloom and Grow collection and embellished with a few buttons from my stash. Easy Peasy!

Mojo Monday 75

Well here it is! Better late than never. Remember, I said I was going to do them all this year. I actually had this one done the day Julee posted it, but never took the time to photograph it. I really need to get a lightbox set up so that I don't have to wait for sunny days to take pics. For this card I used the Spirograph cs from Kaisercraft. The flower is from Verve's Thankful Blossoms set. I stamped it 3 times on different pieces of the Spirograph paper and then cut and layered to the square panel. The solid cs is from Bazzill. I tied skinny twine though the button, but first I colored the twine with a Copic marker to make it match the cardstock. Finished it off with some light green Dew Drops from my stash.

Mojo 74--What Lies Before Us

(click image for bigger picture)

I just love the inspiration I get from the Mojo sketches. For this card I used some of the new Bo Bunny Abbey Road print cardstock and two colors of Bazzill Dotted Swiss cs. (brown and blue). The sentiment and butterfly are both from Penny Black (one of my all time fav companies), oh you probably already knew that though. The lace trim was natural color and I needed it to be brown, so out came my Copic marker. Voila! Brown trim. I also colored the butterfly with two colors of blue Copic markers for the wings and Lt Brown for the body. I finished the card off with some Bling and a Pearl (butterflies head) from Kaisercraft. Just a bit of Stardust pen here and there for a final touch.

Oh, it's American Idol time. See you all tomorrow!

hugs to all,
