Another project from my recent Memory Maze DT post is this gorgeous layout featuring a stunning photo of my cousin Jackie..

I have used the colours from her dress (Black & Yellow) as inspiration for the colour scheme, with plenty of white to set them both off..
The base has been layered with some patter paper squares, doiley, stamp and stencil with modelling texture paste..

I used both a white and yellow spray mists..
The white frame around the photo has been painted white..
The two oval frames have been heat embossed.. 

Add some Manor House flowers and mesh ribbon to finish off the embellishments..

I have really been enjoying using this Kaiser range - Silver Bells this year! It's not often I come across a Christmas themed collection that I absolutely love, but this one certainly hits the spot for me..

I have used the papers and collectables with this great ATC frame piece from Memory Maze..
It is going to make a great center piece this year, as Christmas Lunch is being held at my house.. :)

The chipboard pieces have simply been painted.. 

I love this ATC frame as it gets my 9 different sections that I can embellish separately, yet it all still flows together thanks to this fun "snow"..

This photo shows some of the depth that I tried to achieve..

Teacher Cards - PART 3

PART 3

Today is the conclusion of this series of posts sharing with you the cards that Hunter and I made for his Prep teachers this year.. We put them all into a box and gave them to them for their Christmas Gift.. 

I went through a couple rolls of double sided tape and a roll and a half of 3D tape.. 

I used A4 white cardstock from the newsagent, only $12.99 for a 100 pack.. Much cheaper option and of course, white goes with anything.. lol.. 

Just over 1m of the white mesh ribbon & black twine,  some gesso & clear impasto, some washi, doilies, bling and flowers too..

Teacher Cards - PART 1

My normal go to gift for teachers are a big A4 size per page diary thingy..

This year however, every teacher in the school was given one for World Teachers Day, so I didn't want to double up.. Instead this year Hunter and I chose to make cards especially for his two main teachers - Miss Page & Mrs Tucker..

We made over 60 cards (4x6 inch size) + 37 mini cards (2x3 inch size) + 19 tags.. 

I will share these with you in a 3 part series, as there are 21 photos to share all up.. 

So please make sure you come back tomorrow for the PART 2 or "like" my facebook page for when the blog posts go live..

Christmas Album - Teachers Gift

This year Hunter's class had to have a supply teacher for 3 days a week in the last term as his main teacher filled in an AP role when that teacher when on LSL.. Hunter is quite excited as he will actually have this teacher for her main teacher next year in Grade 1.. 😀 

Anyway, although he didn't have her for very long, he still wanted to make her some special.. 

Hunter and I agreed that she should have something different to his other teachers though.. So we made this 4x6 chipboard Christmas Album.. 

Using the Kaiser - Silver Bells collection, we the album and this quick card.. 

The cover of the album was covered and layered with the paper.. The middle has been diecut with the Big Shot.. The middle circle is being highlighted by some silver glitter behind it.. 

The bling is from Memory Maze..  Rings and BTP album from Kaiser.. and some silver ribbon from the dollar shop.. 

For the inside pages I really wanted to make sure I had the balance right for photos to be added and the embellishments... This page features a Memory Maze ATC chipboard piece with a diecut from the 6x6 paper pad, bling and mircobeads..

Here are some baulbles I fussy cut off a sheet from the 6x6 paper pad, then added the string pearls to give the effect of them hanging / dangling.. 

Here is the perfect opportunity for journaling.. 

Using the Memory Maze "Pebble" stencil, I added some clear impasto and glitter to make this fun texture.. 

Last inside page simply has some white mesh ribbon, string pearls and the sentiment saying.. This is the small strip that is cut off the bottom of the 12x12 sheet of pattern paper.. 

Last step was to add the diecut (again, from the 6x6 paper pad) and Hunter's name.. 

I decided not to paint any edges of the project until it was all put together.. I really LOVE the look of distressing and especially the Winter Wonderland feel, so this was perfect to achieve both effects.. 

The white gesso applied at the end, gave that snowy edges look... 

Thank you for dropping by today and allowing us to share this project with you.. I hope you may have got some inspiration from it for your own projects?!?
