Pieces of my life

Celebrating with Party Time!!!

Kaisercraft have a gorgeous new (and very happy!) collection out this month called 'Party Time'. It's just perfect for that time of the year when it seems to be one party after another!

After recently celebrating both of my girls birthdays, I wish this collection had been released a little earlier as it would have made my party decorating a whole lot easier ;) They both adored the bright colours and fun images and it would have fitted in perfectly with their party themes!

'Party Time'

The drink jars look so cute wrapped with paper and embellished with some of the Party Time Collectables! Adding the straws with rosettes made from different papers adds to the fun element

Kaisercraft products used: P2196 ‘Confetti’ | P2197 ‘Carousel’ | P2198 100’s & 1000’s | P2201 ‘Hooray’ | P2202 ‘Double Scoop’ | P2203 ‘Streamers’ | P2204 ‘Fairy Bread’ | PP1009 Party Time Paper Pad | CT869 Party Time Collectables | CD101 Coconut Weave Cardstock | PT228 Mint Glitter Tape |  

To add some fun to the table decorations, I made some gift Boxes using the WRMK Box Maker (so much fun!!!). I added more rosettes to the front - I'd forgotten how cute rosettes were and they are soooo easy to make!

 

So if you have an event coming up soon and you are looking for a fun paper collection to make some decorations or cards with - Party Time is perfect for you!!!

Happy creating

November (yes November already!) creations for Imaginarium Designs

The months just seem to be going by quicker and quicker and Christmas is just around the corner!!! I am nowhere near ready for the fast downhill pace that the next few weeks will bring! At least some creating time gives me some serenity from the madness of the day!

I was lucky enough to be able to escape recently for a few days of creating and relaxing and boy is that time good for the soul :)

This month at Imaginarium Designs I played with their fabulous chipboard designs and created a journal page, some tags and a Christmas layout.

My journal page was inspired by a wonderful class I took recently with the uber talented Gayle Price

'Believe in your Dreams'

Imaginarium Designs products used: Moroccan Border IDB0012 and Believe in your Dreams Phrase IDP0176

The chipboard was coloured using Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals on the title and heat embossing on the remaining chipboard

The Moroccan Border was too solid for my page so I cut the chipboard randomly and then added some of the off cuts around my page

 

'Vintage Tags'

 Imaginarium Designs products used: Nat's Hearts IDD0042 and Jessica's Flourish IDFL0014

The theme for November is 'Girly' so I went with a pretty and soft colour palette for my tags. All of the touches of white add to the shabby chic feel to the tags:

The chipboard has all been sprayed with Gesso for a crisp white finish

 

'Happy Memories'

Imaginarium Designs products used: Happy Memories IDP0175, Nat's Hearts IDD0042 and Denise's Art Deco IDDD0005

 

 The Deco Flourish and Hearts were heat embossed in aged gold and then randomly inked with brown ink

The aged gold embossing powder adds a fantastic texture to the chipboard

Thank you for visiting and happy creating!
