 Extras : Kraft cardstock, muslin, gesso, tattered leather glimmermist, ink, flower, butterfly punch, corrugated cardboard, hat pins

Michelle says:
“Charlotte’s Dream, the perfect collection of papers to put together a layout using an old wedding photo. The photo was from when my mother-in-law married the man of her dreams way back in September 1950.  A whole lot of paper curling, distressing, layering, inking and adding a few pearls, some punched butterflies and you’re done!”

Fine and Sunny, yes, that’s definitely an appropriate name for this Kaisercraft collection. Just looking at the papers, the die cuts, the rub ons, everything in this collection will definitely brighten your day.

I’ve used a Crafter’s template, a little gesso, a few squirts from various glimmermists, a few punches and  a little layering. I’ve popped on a bit of muslin and split a few Kaiser flowers, added a few pearls and voila!”

“Follow Your Heart” Layout By Michelle Frisby

Materials list : Kaisercard coconut, 6.5” pad Tigerlilly, P803 – Blush, a variety of blooms and mini paper blooms, RB958 rub ons, MA502 mini alphas black and white

Extras: Gesso, Crafters template, gauze, chipboard heart, glimmer glaze, leaves, punches, bling, feathers

Michelle says:
“I’ve had a real play with this layout.  I love, love, love the Tigerlilly collection.  I wanted to play with the base cardstock and I did just that.  I grabbed the Gesso, a Crafters template and a popsicle stick and played.  I had a ball and once it was dried I used a cotton bud and dipped it into glimmer glaze and rubbed it around the stencilled shape.”

Toni says:
“I’ve created this little shadow box in memory of both my Nanna’s. The piece of paper from the paper pad reminded me so much of them that I decided to use it as a background. I then added small pieces and details that represented them like the sewing machine.
The pink and spearmint greens work perfectly together with the white. Adding a hanging ‘chandelier’ actually gives the effect of looking into a room full of memories.”
