Shop and Crop Scrapbooking November DT Second Share

Hi there!

It's my turn up on the Shop and Crop Blog today sharing some layouts I created using one of our past kits - the  September Kaisercraft Kit and if your lucky there may be one or two left in the Shop and Crop Store here.......
With Christmas fast approaching I thought some Christmas layouts would be perfect to share with you all!! 

First Up my "Believe" layout.

I did lots of tearing on this layout and even some fussy cutting.  Added a few of the Collectable pieces which you also get in the kit and finished off the page with a couple of flowers from my stash......

Some close ups!





For my next page "It's the most Wonderful time of the Year" layout, I used the gorgeous specialty paper from the kit and again added lots of fussy cut Poinsettia's!  I embellished my page with more collectables from the kit and some Kaisercraft Lucky Dip Wooden Snowflakes and finished this page also with a few flowers from my stash.


A few close ups.......





My final page I have to share today is my "Love" layout!  On this page I used lots of scrap pieces which I roughly distressed.  I added collectables to this page and a few more flowers from my stash!


Some close ups!





Well that's all I have for today,  

I do hope I have inspired you a little to get creative, whether you have this kit or even one of our other kits!  I will be back next month to share a few more projects using this gorgeous Kit, I can't believe how many projects I have gotten from this kit and I still have so much left over, such great value for money!!  Be sure to pop over to the store here and check out all the fabulous kits and other products available....... and remember to use this code TR5 to get a little discount.

Off the Rails Scrapbooking Final DT Share - Favourite Technique

Hi there!

Just popping in today to share a final project I created as part of the Off the Rails Scrapbooking Design Team.....  I have had a fabulous time over the past two years on this team so I a huge thank you to Amanda and the team!
So to finish off I thought I would share one of my favourite techniques with you Creating Mixed Media Canvas's!  If you like getting messy you will love this!!

"Finished Mixed Media Canvas"


I start by raiding my craft room for lots of embellishments, it can be anything from chipboard, flowers, buttons, metal trinkets, beads the list is endless!  

First up I used a scrapmatts triangle stencil with texture paste to add texture paste to the background.  Next was the fun bit adding your embellishments to your canvas, there is no right or wrong way, just pop them on and stick them down :)  I must admit I did position mine on this canvas more than I usually would as I wanted them to flow across the page..  As you can see they are all different colours, that doesn't matter...... why??

Now you are going to give them a thick coat of gesso, until they are all covered


Next is the best bit, it's all good but this is so much fun adding all your colour....  I kept to the yellow/gold tones on this canvas as it was made for my daughter and yes she is yellow mad :) :)  I just kept adding colour until I was happy, but remember to dry each layer of colour with your heat gun, so you don't end up with a muddy mess especially if using several different colours......

This is my canvas before adding a photo!


Some close ups........





Well that's all from me today, I hope I inspired you all to raid your craft room and get a little messy it's so much fun.  Thanks so much to all that have visited me over on the Off the Rails Scrapbooking on the blog over the last two years and all the lovely comments........

Until next time thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting Tania xx
