Spring Bloom Cards

Hello ladies and a lovely day it is here today. Trust you are all enjoying the same, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Today I am sharing four cards that I did for the Kaisercraft January Workshop magazine using the Spring Bloom collection. It is a very cheery range, certainly depicting Spring, with it's lovely colour combinations.

An easel card using Spellbinders Grand  Scalloped Circle die. With all the collectables in the range, it wasn't hard to put this card together.

Well ladies, isn't it a fun collection?

Must away and continue with the decluttering - it was the garage and laundry cupboard this morning. I just have the pantry to do and we have been over the whole house. It certainly feels good to clear out all the surplus, at the beginning of the new year. It's amazing how much more room there is in my workroom!! LOL

Happy crafting to you all and may you all know God's blessing,

Art Of Life Cards

Hello to all you lovely ladies.

Sorry I'm a bit late with this post today as I got a call from my two daughters ( while still snuggled up in bed!)  to say they were wanting to go, have coffee, on their way South. Hence a quick get-up, but it was well worth it. Their two boys had flown down to the farm for a week, so the mums were on their way down to pick them up.Sounds as though the boys have had a lot of fun with their farm cousins.

Today I am going to share the fabulous collection from Kaisercraft which is Art of Life - I made these four cards for the January Workshop Magazine. Hope you enjoy.

Well, what's your thoughts ladies? I don't know whether I am biased, but I think Kaisercraft are bringing out some gorgeous ranges. All agree!!

Thank you all for checking out my blog - it's nice to know you are all there and take the time to do so and trust you get some ideas for your own projects.

Happy crafting to all and may you all be blessed.

Key To My Heart Cards From Kaisercraft.

A special hello to all my blog friends.

As the weather has been lovely, I have been making the most of it, by spending some time in the garden, hence I have a very sore back today. Anyway, I'm having today off so as to recuperate!! Do hope it works. Maybe I'll get a few cards made as I have some birthdays looming up.

The cards I am sharing today are again from Kaisercraft - Key To My Heart which I did for the December Workshop Magazine. I did have fun using this collection, what with it's romantic theme and the colours. Loved the navy and the pale blue.

Everything is starting to get back to normal now, for the new year - our stamping girls get together again on Friday, so I am looking forward to that. Trust that all you ladies, that have had to go back to work, have enjoyed a nice restful break and are ready to face the year ahead.

All today ladies, happy crafting and many blessings to you all,

Garage Days Cards - Kaisercraft

Good morning everyone and a happy  New Year to all.

It has been a busy time, over the holidays what with families etc around, but it has been most enjoyable. I did manage to get some gardening done and suffered with aches and pains for a number of days after.Oh the joys of getting older!! The bug I had also added to the discomfort and it seemed to hang on - couldn't pass it on at all!! Anyway, all's well now and ready for 2014.

Today I am going to share some cards I did back for November, for the Workshop Mag.They certainly aren't my usual - was really out of my comfort zone here, but one has to do what one has to do! Anyway, what's your thought ladies.

As you can see, I used the collectables in this range quite extensively and the wooden flourishes from Kaisercraft. They certainly help with putting a card together, making it so much quicker and easier.

Do hope you are all enjoying this holiday period and having some lovely weather - it has been rather variable but today is stunning again.

Well must away.May you all know God's blessing as you begin another year, and happy crafting if you get time.

Random Cards for Orders

Greetings to all my special blog friends
.
Christmas is almost upon us for another year and I sure don't know where the year has gone. Seems only yesterday that we were preparing for last Christmas! It will be nice when we can all settle down and can really enjoy our families and friends, and of course, really focus on what this season is really all about. I found this lovely poem the other day and thought I would like to share it with you all.

May Christmas hold true for you,
Jesus' miraculous birth,
Although He was the King of Kings,
He set aside it's worth -
For His purpose was the cross,
Nothing else could take it's place,
And reconciling you to God
Was secured through His grace.   M.S.Lowndes


Today I would like to share some cards that were made for orders. Do hope you enjoy.

This was made for one of my lovely patchwork friends, who you can see, had a milestone birthday. Marie loves purple and green so it was met with much approval! I used Lilac Avenue collection from Kaisercraft.

Debbie loves travelling, hence the theme of the card. Kaisercraft's Check In collection was used and the film strip is one of Darkroom Doors.

A card specially for Ros' 70th made with Kaisercraft's Elegance collection. I rather like the colour combination in this range, especially the grey and mint.

Who's about to celebrate their GOLDEN WEDDING?  Guess!  Now, this card was actually made for Jean and Brian who have just enjoyed their celebration. Vintage cars and gold lace were the order of the day and just a little close up.

Thank you all so much for all the encouragement you have been to me over this past year. Your comments and emails have really been much appreciated.

This no doubt, will be my final post for the year, as some of the family are arriving either today or tomorrow, then we are all heading to Christchurch to enjoy a family time together for Christmas day. Have managed to get myself a nasty bug over the past day or two, so do hope it is about to move on!

Warmest wishes for a happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year.

Blessings to each and everyone of you,

Confetti Cards From Kaisercraft

Greetings to all my blog friends. The countdown is really on now - how many sleeps?
It is a bit of a mad house here at the moment, so we will be glad when it all settles down to normal - if there is such a thing!! Really am getting a little bit old for all the excitement!

Kaisercraft has brought out another lovely collection, for December, called Confetti and I am going to show you the cards I have made for the Workshop Mag. Hope you enjoy seeing what I have done and will get some ideas for your next cards etc. Card making is so easy when working with one of Kaiser's collections as there are so many collectables with each range and it does make the projects so much easier.

I must carry on with the good work, so that is all for today.

Remember the challenges at Artfull Crafts - you have until the 22nd December to get your projects done. It is all fun with some prizes to be won. We love seeing what you come up with.

Happy crafting everyone and God bless you all, at this busy time.

Kaisercraft's Paradiso Cards.

Hello to all my blog friends. Dare say by now, you will all be hyped up for the holiday period! I'm sure glad it's only once a year, although I do enjoy the time spent with the family.

Today I am going to share the cards I made for Kaisercraft's Workshop Mag, for December, using the Paradiso collection. It is sure to get you all in holiday mode - I really did enjoy this one.

Don't you feel like sailing away to a paradise island? A lot of collectables were used on these cards and there was certainly a lovely variety.

Must carry on with the good work - enjoy your day whatever you are doing. Don't get too stressed out.

Blessings to you all,

Betsy  xxx
