You will have to look at this IRL as it does have extensive machine stitching on it.all the diamonds are stitched on the page.
Mikayla took this picture of me and i really thought she had done a great job.So to all my scrappy friends that are going come and vote and hopefully for me lol.The prize is great/
Thanks so much for leaving love i really appreciate it.

The color room,stg and 123 challenge blog

 The color room challenge very pretty this week,i was inspired to use circles from Jannine and the pleating around the circle from Karola.

 The STG challenge for this month just write 25 or more words in your own handwriting about someone who is important in your life.

123 challenge for this month using red and stitching and the word fun.I love these pics of our grandson Harrison he is so cute.

My Kaisercraft Entry

 I have decided to do a couple of cards,i have used kaiser stamps and also to two ranges of papers the Chanteuse Collection and the English rose collection.

 I decided also to decorate this bird cage i had home here using one of the kaiser flourishes and of course the beautiful paper roses from Kaiser.

 This off the page book was just perfect for when my daughter started fairy dancing,i have had this one for quite a while now the papers were a butterfly collection fro kaiser.

 This is my son and daughter at her bring a friend or grandparent day,she brought along her elder brother.I have used the the class of 87 papers and also used the alphabet stamps from kaiser as the background with glimmer mist and embossing.And i hand cut all the little people as well.

 This is our cute little grandson Harrison,i have gone into my stash and found there kasier Loire valley papers,also kaiser alpha stamps on the cheeky boy,the laugh and giggle stamps up the top right hand corner are another older set of kaiser stamps too.I also used the bubble wrap stamp and embossing in the background with glimmer mist.I have cut the bird house and the birds from the papers.

 Mikayla with her dad she loves him to bits and is very spoilt too.i have used the English rose papers here,also cutting up the papers to get the effect i wanted,the rubons are the sayings about dads,the journal ling block is from the journal ling stamp blocks.

 Ad of course the little chick and me,i have used the dress form ,the Chanteuse collection papers,bling and rubons on this layout.

And last but not least is my daughter Mikayla and her friend Harmony they are so funny together,they love visiting each other.I have used some of the magic happens collection here,and airy fairy paper.Also the birdcage and pearls.The rubons and the stamps are kaiser as well.

I hope this gives enough variety to get me into the next stage thanks for looking.And wish me luck ,Have a great week every one.take care Kerry xx

scrap the girls and 123 challenge April and the color room #51

 Scrap the girls for April,you need to do a layout finding some inspiration from the picture on the scrap with girls blog,I took the colors as an inspiration.The large swirl in this layout is a scrapmatts swirl.Of course prima flowers too and the background masks.

And this is my take on the 123 challenge blog for April it was lime green,material and the word really.It came out very pretty.I have also used scrap matts twigg CB2014 and the small doves come in the pack too.And some prima masks and flowers,leaves and journal ling card too.

The color room #51 i wasn't sure about the colors of this when i first saw it but when i scrapped them i really liked them.The pictures also helped with the color combo as well.Loved how happy the two of them looked here.
