Page 2 Girls DT Projects - May - Leonie Waldron

Kaisercraft's new Remember Me collection is a lovely vintage style collection full of poppies, ANZAC day sentiments and muted tones perfect for all your old family armed forces photos and ANZAC day memories.

I received this sweet DT kit from Pages 2 Scrap and it stumped me for a little while as I didn't think I'd have any relevant photos to scrap! However, I did find a few of my father-in-law's Navy days and an old family portrait, and was able to use the prettier elements of the kit for some completely different layouts.


Love all the bits and pieces in this collection; as usual with Kaisercraft collectables there is a whole mountain of die cut shapes and embellies to play with. I've used a WoW clock covered in embossing powders as a focal point.


This next page is probably more suited to this collection; I fussy cut some poppies from one of the papers and added some stickers here and there, and some vintage lace and tickets.


My next page uses a cute banner sticker and some of those big die cut poppies; love them!



I've got some journalling tucked in behind the photo.



I really like all the poppies on this next page! I've kept it semi modern with some black and white washi tape and Thickers.



And... last one! I've used some kraft cardstock as a base and added some magenta and peach inks to give it some interest... again, love those big flowers!


The Remember Me collection is most definately vintage, but hopefully I've provided some inspiration for using some of the elements in a modern way too, it suits both styles!


Head on in to Pages 2 Scrap for some great bargains and all the new Kaisercraft collections.

And did I mention I'm going to spend a full day at Pages 2 Scrap with the awesome Dina Wakely doing an art journalling class? How cool is that?! Stay tuned, I'm sure I'll come home bursting with ideas and inspiration!  :)

Stay crafty!

Hi everyone !

I have been spending so much time in my scrap room lately . I love this time of year when you can put the fire on and sit in its warmth and create.

This month my DT package arrived in the form of the Kaisercraft range " Bundle Of Joy ", this beautiful range is available in both blue and pink and is also suitable for both vintage and modern photos.

I have created my project this month around my latest addition , Ella rose joined our little family in January this year and is our first girl. After having two boys it has been a real treat to play with pretty pinks and load my projects with cute girly elements and embellishments .

I am a big believer that scrap booking doesn't have to be a page , that it can also be interactive and a focal point in our living spaces. So this month I created a photo drawer so I could display my pics in a way that is not only lovely to look at but can be added to or changed along the way.



I started with a 7 gypsies ATC drawer , covered the front in some of the fabulous paper from the range and embellished it with kaiser paper blooms in dusty pink .


The cards where created by using Bazzil card stock cut into 2.5 x 3.5 inches. I then used paper from the 6x6 paper pad , a packet of collectables, 12x12 sticker sheet, Green Tara flowers , Kaiser paper blooms and various embellishments from my own stash to created the unique cards . I then incorporated photos to personalise my cards even further . Here is the cards I created .......










I hope I have inspired you to take your scrapping beyond the page !

Thanks for stopping by ! xxxx
