This month for Shop and Crop I had the absolute pleasure of playing with the adorable 

Bundle of Joy Range from Kaisercraft.

Once I'd made the girl card I just had to go through the sweet Paper Pad and create

a matching boy card.....

Love those cute Kaisercraft Wooden Buttons too:)

For my third card I added in a Graphic 45 Little Darlings Tag and made this one suitable for a new baby boy or girl....

Mixed Media Notebook

At the moment I am very taken by mixed media projects and this weekend I had a lovely time altering a notebook for work.

My inspiration came from a canvas created by the amazing Gabrielle Pollacco. Gabrielle even provides the template for this sweet girl on her blog and the video for how she puts her canvas together is here on You Tube. (or on her blog if you scroll through about 4 pages)

Papers are from Kaisercraft's Chapter One range.  Lots of masks, gesso, texture paste, glimmer mists, acrylic paint and stamps were used.

................

Lots of shine from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist......love that stuff!

It 's always fun to have a play with our scrapbooking goodies and see where it takes us:-)

Thanks for your visit.....see you again soon!
