Kaisercraft Storybook collection at Papermaze

Today I am up on the Papermaze blog with this post.

Hi Tracee with you today to share a layout I created, using the Storybook collection by Kaisercraft


I loved this photo of my Granddaughter looking at the menu about to choose her pizza, but I struggled to find suitable papers... struggle no more, the Storybook collection was a prefect fit with images of books and clocks. I wanted to keep a light feel to the page and I tore the blue script paper to leave about an 8" piece, I then backed this onto white cardstock. I then layered up my cluster over the two edges.


I added some of the stickers from the Sticker sheet to create a title. I added some lacy white doilies to my layers, they always add a little something extra to your page I think.


I wanted to make a small focal point up in the top left corner. I used some scrap pieces I had laying on my desk, this is great way to use the last little bits of your favourite papers, I hate waste lol. 

I hope you enjoyed your visit with me today.

Hi Tracee with you today to share a couple of scrapbook pages, my first page only has 
a small amount of patterned paper and I simply let the fabulous chipboard do the rest.

Whilst we were on vacation the boys got up to all sorts of fun and games, including dangling
 my son upside down, I couldn't resist cutting out this pic. I used the largest circle from the 
 6" Circle Dot Frame Set as a platform for the photo to stand on, I painted the 
Interlocking Grid Panel piece with red paint and layered this behind.

For the title I wanted the boys part to stand out from the rest so I inked the whole thing 
with charcoal ink and then I added blue glitter embossing powder to just the word "boys"
 and left the rest plain. I added in a Funky Arrow for a bit of interest, I pointed 
it downwards to replicate my son dangling down.

I used the same charcoal ink on my gears & I used both the medium and the small size sets.
I love that there are so many choices to get just the size you need. I have some aged silver 
embossing powder that I used on them and it gives a sort of mottled effect that is fab.


I added some paper covered triangles to give a little movement to the page. The word
 experience is from the Travel Word Disc set, I just cut the frame off and I can use
 that on another page.

For my second page I found this picture of my daughter and her friend. There was lots 
of space around them and I thought it would be good to layer my title piece over it. I used the new Bo Bunny Butterfly Kisses collection for this page it worked beautifully with both my picture and the chippies.

I have had the Old Fence chipboard in my stash for a while, it worked perfectly with this 
picture, and after I had treated it with some gesso and various brown inks, I cut it in half 
and placed it either side of the picture. It actually looks like wood! I added some gesso to
 the Grass Clumps and placed those over the bottom of the fence chippie.

I added a Violet Pearl embossing powder to the doily piece, on this one the chippie was
 raw and it came out an actual violet colour but you will see in the next pic that if you
 add just a little gesso to the chipboard it reacts in a totally different way.

See here how over the gessoed parts it takes on a translucent tone that shimmers
 when the light catches it.
