Hi Everyone,
Nervous, nervous, nervous. I pondered on the idea of applying for the Kaisercraft DT as I am new to the whole scrapbooking world but thought, "If I don't try, I will never know if I have what it takes.". So with that, I decided to take the plunge. I must say that this was a difficult project for me to undertake as there is not a lot of Kaisercraft where I shop. I called every store in my city and everyone came back with the same words, "Sorry but we don't carry much from this company as it is difficult to get seeing as they are an Australian Company and our wholesaler does not carry their products." I was disheartened and disappointed. So I decided to make projects with what little products I had. A lot of my projects are made from the 4 different lines and not all of the products from each line as my local scrapbooking store did not have them all. I hope you enjoy what I made.
SINGLE PAGE LAYOUT
This is a layout that I made with a picture of my daughter in Las Vegas holding two snakes. I thought that the Bird Song paper suited this picture perfectly as it had all the nature elements needed to make this serene yet bountiful. This layout was made using the Bird Song - Wing Tip Paper(P242), Orange Rhinestones (SB710), Wood Flourishes - flourish vine (FL328), Paper Blooms - Coconut (F627), Rub Ons - Up, Up & Away (RB869), Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists - Crushed Shells, Coffee Shop, Maya Road Mists - Bronze Metallic, Recollection Butterfly, Prima Butterflies - Vlinder, Prima lace ribbon and Vintage Photo Distress Stains by Ranger.
TWO PAGE LAYOUT
This project was the easiest of all my projects as the paper just screamed out to these pictures of myself and my husband when we went to the Peace Gardens in North Dakota back in 2007. I have been waiting for the perfect paper to scrapbook these pictures and when I found these I knew they were what I was looking for. With all the flowers on the paper that I could craft cut to accent the flowers in the pictures I knew right away how I was going to assemble this layout. This 2 page layout was made using: Hippy Girl Collection - Luna (P555), Harmony (P554), Journal Tags (JT604), Rub Ons (RB897), Paper Blooms - Seabreeze (F631), Fuchsia (F639), Zva Crystals and Recollection Butterfly.
CARDS
Since I am a fanatic about anything pink and all about flowers, this card gave me the ability to showcase both of these things. This card was made with the Chanteuse Collection - Marcato (P643), Bubblegum Hills - Candy Confetti (P635), Fucshia Paper Blooms (F639), Fancy Pants Pink Lace Ribbon, Prima, Ivory Lace Ribbon and Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Ranger.
Sometimes I just want a card that is simple yet has dimension and this card was perfect for the job. It did not take a lot to make this card beautiful and noticed. This card was made with the Chanteuse Collection - Marcato (P643), Bubblegum Hills - Candy Confetti (P635), Fucshia Paper Blooms (F639), Crochet Doilies (EM953), Misc Grey ribbon with pearls and the Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Ranger.
For the kid in me, I wanted to use a stamp that could make a card both young and fun. I love how easy it was to use the clear bird stamp and just add a little bit of embellishments to make such a cute card. This card was made with the Bubblegum Hills - Berry Surprise (P636), Blue Lemonade (P631), Flourish Bird Clear Stamp (CS931), Thinking of You (CS921), misc blue brads, May Arts blue dot ribbon.

I wanted to make sure that I made something that was masculine as it is definitely out of my comfort zone. Working with small spaces was also difficult as I am use to making full layouts as opposed to mini albums. I really love how this album turned out and that I could give this as a gift to a male recipient where they could enjoy the factor that there are no feminine colors or accents. This Mini Tag Album was made with Up, Up & Away - Slideshow (P542), Military - Hawk Eye (P278), Crusader (P279), D-Day (P277), Wood Flourishes - Locks and Hinges (FL330), Frames (FL305), Prima lace ribbon, misc. grey sheer ribbon, Tim Holtz - Mini Clips and Mini stapes.

This project was made using the Kaisercraft MDF lines and was suppose to house mini albums but I wanted to make this into a decor item. So I decided to house the shelves with mini wooden boxes that can hold small treasures. I love the vibrant colors and summer feel to this project as we do not get a lot of summer where I am from. It just puts a smile on my face when I see this sitting on my shelf. This mini bookshelf was made with Hippy Girl - Earth (P550), Sunshine (P551), Delilah (PS112), Chanteuse - Marcato (P643), Paper Blooms - Sea Breeze (F631), Amethyst (F643), Coconut (F627), Flutterby's - Bubblegum (EM961), Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists - Party Pink, Rose Tea, Americana Paint - Sea Breeze, Peony Pink, Maya Road - Ivory Mini Rose Ribbon, Prima Ivory Lace Ribbon, Deco Art Paint - Cherry Blossom Pink and Glossy Accents.

I love making projects for my daughter. Since she does not share my love for scrapbooking and only shares in receiving finished projects that can be displayed in her room, I decided to make this mini folio for her in memory of our trip to Las Vegas this past Christmas. I loved using both color and sepia pictures to showcase how versatile this paper line really is. This Mini Folio was made with papers from the Lush Collection 6" Paper Pad (PP825), Black Flourish (PL514), Paper Blooms - Coconut (F627), Sunset (F634), Sepia Archival Ink and Binder Rings.

Every girl loves to have a place to put their secret treasures and my daughter is no different. I wanted to make her something that she could put her pictures or journals into and this book box did exactly that. I love that I was able to use the wooden hinge as an accent to close the box. It really gave it a different feel and accented the ribbon beautifully. This Altered Book Box was made with Bubblegum Hills - Blue Lemonade (P631), Orange Pop (P634), Hippy Girl - Earth (P550), Luna (P555), Paper Blooms - Coconut (F627), Iceberg (F630), Sunset (F634), Wood Flourishes - Frames (FL305), Locks & Hinges (FL330), Pearls - Teal (SB783), Mango (SB781), Printed Chipboard - Hippy Girl (CB113), Martha Stewart Butterfly punches and misc. green ribbon.
