Wordbooks

Everyone, everywhere seems to be into wordbook albums at the moment. I have cut a few but I am not really into mini albums and off the page items that much. But I have found a great use for wordbooks and that is as cards. I made two for a friend of mine and we were both thrilled with how they worked out. As I have made them I thought I may as well share them. So if your name is Cheri or Sharriee it is your lucky day! Will post a picture of the Sharriee card tomorrow - I hope! I have had sick kids all week so I am amazed I managed this entry

Just got home from Geelong and the Kaiser Q1 launch, All I can say is wow! The 10 hours of driving was definitely worth it. These papers are awesome, embellishments match each range perfectly, Kaiser has come up with the best packaging and therefore storage solutions. You are not going to want to miss this launch on July 1. There is definitely something for everyone whether you are a working on heritage, cruise, beach, baby, friends, family etc etc layouts. If you are into card making, beyond the page or home decor then there is something here for you too.

If you haven't had a look at the sneak peek then what are you waiting for?

Mark this date on your calendar as these items will go fast.

There is also a great competition on at Kaisercraft to win the new paper ranges. Check out the website details Day one of the competition is today so you only have a few hours left to get your entry in.

Scrapbook kits with SVG files

I have been working on some card kits and scrapbooking kits lately. These are kits with a twist as they come with original svg files. The first layout is below.



The kit comes with a selection of different shapes, book plates and the scalloped frame. I actually cut about 10 shapes and bookplates (customers get all 10!) but when it came to putting it together I only used a couple. The title is cut using 2 Peas Bad Atititude font.

Now I am working on the kit for next month with a stash of new svg files.

BTW - getting excited - only 5 more sleeps til Kaisercraft Q1 launch

Netballer Free svg

I was asked to make a card for a young girl who had experienced a hard time. I didn't have much to go on except that she was in to netball. I searched the net for a netball file that I could cut on my Cricut but was unfortunately disappointed and therefore had to make my own. I pretty much had to start from scratch with this one, so while it is very basic I was thrilled with the image once cut with the Cricut.

If you'd like the file leave me a message

Card Elements

Can't believe I have been gone so long! That's what having a busy life does to you. I have run 3 All Day Scrapbooking Events in 3 weeks as well as teaching 3 card making classes and then there's the usual family and work life! As I have been so busy making cards recently I have put together an SVG file of useful card embellishments.

If you would like the file I have it available on Media Fire HERE

ANZAC svg files

This weekend will be spent remembering those who have given their lives and those who have given their loved ones for our freedom. I have taken Emily to ANZAC marches each year of her life and tomorrow will be no different. We will head off for the 8:30am march in Albury with both girls. I look forward to being organised enough to start taking the girls to the dawn service each year too. To commemorate the ANZACs I have made some ANZAC svg files. I haven't done a scrapbooking layout of our yearly pilgrimmage to the march and I really should as it is part of our history and part of the girls' story and therefore belongs in their album. If you would like these files please leave me a comment.

Mumma Bushka again

I had another glorious day of scrapping, oh how I wish that were true! LOL! After taking my daughters to swimming lessons, dropping them at daycare and cleaning half the house I squeezed in another hour or so of scrapping. The truth doesn't sound nearly so exciting does it. Anyway, I finished the second page of the layout I uploaded yesterday. It uses the Kaisercraft Mumma Bushka range.



The title was cut with my Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot. I would love to tell you which font it was, I'd love to remember which font it was as I am really happy with how it turned out. I have tried searching but I have over a thousand fonts that cut well and it could be any one of the scripty ones. The great thing about SCAL is you are never tied to a few cartridges or dies.

I still have to cut a title for the Fun Fair layout. Things move slowly here!
