Finalist Entry Kaisercraft DT 2014/15

Hi Everyone,
As some of you may know, I applied for the Kaisercraft 2014/15 Design Team and was thrilled to find out that I had been selected as a Finalist for round 2... omg so nervous!!

For the 2nd round I was sent 2 fabulous up coming collections that have not yet been released, to create my projects with. So that means you get to see some sneaky peeks. When I opened my parcel, I found so much paper to play with, that I decided to create 2 LO's, 2 Cards and 2 Tags with each range.  If I hadn't had the Scrapbook and Papercaft Expo on the long weekend I probably would have created more.  So be prepared for a lengthy post showcasing these gorgeous collections!!

North Pole Collection Projects
The 1st collection is a beautiful Christmas range with a gorgeous red, white, aqua and black colour palette called North Pole.  This collection has papers that can also be used in non-Christmas LO's for either masculine or feminine projects.

Layout - Merry Christmas

For my 1st LO I have gone with a Christmas theme.  I couldn't resist pulling out my scissors to fussy cut the yummy doily paper to layer around my photo.  You will probably notice that I can't go without using some form of mixed media on my creations.  Kaisercraft has a great range of templates and stamps which I am totally addicted to, so I have used them to create backgrounds on all of my LO's.  Here I have used the diamond template and diamonds texture stamp to co-ordinate with the patterns in the paper.
  

Kaiser Products Used:  North Pole Collection, diamond template, wood flourishes - berry vine and fancy borders, sea breeze sparklets, aqua marine rhinestones, snow and blue ice paper flowers, St Nicholas stamp set, diamonds texture stamp

Layout - Love

For my 2nd LO I chose to create a feminine page with the pretty heart paper as the focus and some of the heart and love accent stickers. Another mixed media background, this time using the gorgeous damask template.

Teddy Bears Picnic Collection Projects
The 2nd collection is an adorable range called Teddy Bear's Picnic.  It has a lovely vintage/shabby feel to it and is very versatile, as it can be used in masculine or feminine projects, so I thought I would create one of each.

Layout - Treasured Memories

One of the few nice photos of I have of my son Luke as a baby, which lucky for me went beautifully with these papers.  He even has a little koala bear on his shirt!

 As I mentioned I don't have very many decent pics of my son and daughter when they were younger, so I decided to scrap this cute pic of my adorable nieces.
