Retro Sketch 166

I'm back after a short holiday overseas. I've had to make a card on the weekend I got back for a baby girl.  I decided to use the current Retro Sketch #166 and combined it with some lovely paper from Kaisercraft Procelain Rose. I'm also adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes. The stamp sets are from Mama Elephant, Darkroom Door and Hero Arts.

21st Album for Chelsey

I'm on a roll with these 21st guest albums! I made one for my niece last year for her 21st, not with the intention of making more for private orders. Lo and behold, this is the third order in the last 6 weeks!  Nevertheless, I've enjoyed making them, but I've now used up all my Tim Holtz Ideology keys! This order is from Western Australia and the specifications were black/white and red 1920's vintage. So I'm thinking tassells, feathers, pearls, Great Gatsby, silver and gems. After a couple of consultation with paper design selections, I decided on the Kaisercraft Timeless Vintage Black and White for the inside pages and After Five for the cover. The accents are from the Porcelain Rose collection (I love the flowers and birds in this collection). I had a bit of problem with two different sized papers 6x6 and 6.5x6.5 which I solved with matting with the 6.5x6.5 on the front. The inside pages are all 6.5x6.5. There is room inside the covers for photos to be added (I added extra papers for mats and embellishments to adhere over the photos). Hope Chelsey likes it, her party is at the end of this month! I've ordered more vintage keys and they've just arrived... so I'm ready for the next order!

I'm submitting this project into Simon Says Stamp and Show A Little Stamping and Die Cut Diva's July Summer Flowers challenge. Just a reminder that I have just started a FB fanpage, please click link on sidebar and 'Like'. I'll be sharing my works in progress, finished projects, links to giveaways and tutorials there. Thanks for dropping by!

The rest of the pages are for guests to sign and write messages.

21st Guest Album for Darcie

Not long after I finished the 21st album for Danielle, I received an email request for another one! The design of the album was based on the original one I did last year for my niece Sarah. The album contains 14 concertina pages (15x15cm) for signing and it is totally handmade! The specifications for Darcie's album is the same 'Tiffany' colours as Danielle's album but with more pinks and no lace and not too busy. It took me a long while to track down the wooden number laser cut-outs as I bought the last '1' in the Kaisercraft shop last time! Two Spotlight shops later, I found some in Bunnings and bought 2 sets (just in case, for next time)!!
I used the Kaisercraft True Romance 6x6 papers for the album pages inside and Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose on the front cover. I just love these Kaisercraft collections! I'm submitting this project to Simon Says Stamp's Anything Goes challenge and Simon Says Stamp and Show's Anything Goes challenge.
Here is my album, hope Darcie likes it!

The front and back were covered with 12x12 and the cover with 6x6 paper.

Close up of the key and the embossing on the numbers and name.

The front 4 pages on opening is made with one sheet of cardboard and scored at intervals.

The next 4 pages is on another sheet, joined in the middle, plenty of room for signatures and messages.

The back of the album consists of 6 pages, the join in the cardboard is hidden by using a patterned paper banner.

The rest of the back of the album - more room for lots of messages and signatures for Darcie!

Danielle's 21st Album and Card

I received an order for a 21st album a few weeks ago. Danielle liked the album I made for my niece Sarah and wanted something similar for her 21st party and she wanted the theme colour to be turquoise and vintage style and also enough room for about 80 guests to sign. I added pink as the contrast colour. The album is done in the same way I did Sarah's but this time, I used Kaisercraft papers and they are sightly larger than the My Minds Eyes papers I used last time. The numbers were painted and then embossed with silver (I love this effect).  Quite a variety of stamps we're used - I think I have covered them all in the list below. I also made a card to match for Danielle. As this is going to be a lengthy post, the card is shown first. The card will be submitted to Inspired Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday, CAS-ual Fridays Banners and Flags and the album for Simon Says Stamp's S Challenge (S for Stamping) and The Twinery's Twine Madness challenge.

Feather Weather

When I saw this week's Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger, I knew what papers I wanted to use. I recently got the Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose collection and this is just perfect for this week's TT! I based my card on the Cardabilities Sketch #75. I didn't want to spoil the design of the card with a sentiment, so I decided not to add one. I was lucky to find a feather to add to the card - this is left over from a fascinator I made many moons ago! Thanks for dropping by!
