Candy's Handmade Creations

Another month has been and gone. As a design team member for Scrapbook Fantasies  we where given the sketch. And this is what I have come up with. The paper range is an oldie I have been diving into my old stash and this is what I have come up with. I have made an easel card, using Kaiser miss empire collection and flowers and some metal embellies form Scrapbook Fantasies. And here is the sketch

I thought I would give Alicias card sketch a go to try and get my mojo going, you can view it here Scrapbook Fantasies  I have made an easel card using the new Kaiser Spring Bloom collection using the 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 paper pad along with the collectables. I also added some flowers and ribbon out of my very large ribbon box and used a verse from the flourishes stamp set.   I pulled apart a couple of flowers and layed one on top of each other to give some dimension    Here is the sketch

Well I had a very productive 4 days off over the Easter break. I thought I would try, and try hard to finish some of my Ufo's and guess what I did finish some. This page was taught in a class at Scrapbook Fantasies   by Stacey Young and this class I really enjoyed plenty of flowers. I decided to take this page a bit further, I put it on a canvas and just extended the flowers, photos etc. So here it is:      For those who don't know this photo is of my Laurie and I, (our two children Tracy and Michael and my dear Mum and Dad) on our wedding day 7 years on the 30th April how time flies. We now have been together for 33 years now in total. Hmm that has flown by.   For the background I cut up one of my lovely lace tops and stick it onto the canvas that was a bit hard, but I do not know about you but me and white do not always mix. The products are all from Prima. This is going up to my Mum and Dad's place to hang on there wall. ...

I have been creating with some of the new Kaiser Lulu & Roy range that is available at Scrapbook Fantasies .  These are two of the projects that I have completed so far, and I hope to get some more done over the long weekend. Lastly I want to wish everyone a happy and safe Easter break.  Hopefully we all get some creating done!
