Oh So Lovely Gorjuss Girl!

I`m back today with a card featuring the Oh So Lovely collection from Kaisercraft and using the supplies from the Scrapendipity kit as well as a Gorjuss Girl image I had in my stash.

I used some of the woodgrain 12x12 paper and cut it to fit a 5x7 card and then layered on my watercoloured image of this sweet Gorjuss Girl. I used a Kaisercraft diecut tag, a sweet butterfly and some paper strips cut from the collection.


To watercolour this cutie I used the Julie Nutting hair and skin tone Prima Watercolor Pencils (Oh My Gosh they are amazing to use!!) for her face and hair and then Distress and Tombow Markers to watercolour in the rest.

Love the diecuts that are in the Oh So Lovely collection!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you have a very crafty and awesome week!

Scrappin' Michael Buble!

Happy Tuesday! Karla here, and I'm back today to bring you a fun scrapbooking post with pocket pages as well as traditional layouts!

My husband and I have never got to go out much since we've had kids, so it was a big deal to head out to a concert to see 'swoon' Michael Buble for our 5th Anniversary!  I just love his style, his voice, his songs!  It was such a lovely night out and I am so happy I dug out these pics to finally get this event scrapbooked!  I thought it would be perfect to use the wonderful new kit from Scrapendipity made up with tons of goodies featuring the Oh So Lovely collection from Kaisercraft! It is so beautiful! I'm loving the kit full of the papers and diecuts as well as cardstock, ribbon, Stickles, Distress Ink and more!

I added two of the 3x4 cards from the kit into my pockets and cut one of my photos so that each half fit into the center pockets. I layered on some diecuts and some Thickers that I had in my stash to complete my journaling card at the bottom.


On the second page I used more of the papers and journaling cards along with the oh so lovely ;) diecuts!


After filling my pockets I had a couple pics left over and wanted to do a couple traditional pages using this beautiful collection. Except for the Thickers letters, some sequins and baker's twine, everything was in the kit!



Here are a couple close ups of some of the details:



Thanks so much for joining me today! Hope you enjoy a very crafty week!

Watercolour Treats Blueprints Card Set!

Karla here today, featuring the Tim Holtz Treats Blueprint stamps! I'm totally in love with these stamps! I used Distress and Tombow Markers to colour my images after I stamped on watercolour paper. To achieve the watercolour look I used a waterbrush to lightly go over the areas I coloured in. Since there are four of these stamps in a set I decided to coordinate them into a set of matching cards. I love how summery and fun they turned out!


Here's a close up look at each one. I added some baker's twine, sequins, glossy accents and Stickles for some extra fun!





Thanks so much for joining me today! Don't forget to check out the Scrapendipity Store for lots of great Canadian scrapbook shopping! I hope you are enjoying some summery weather wherever you live, and maybe even a yummy treat or two!
