It’s Friday funny time! Yes, today is Friday and to celebrate the end of the working week we’ll be sharing with you something weird and wonderful. Whether its something about Kaisercraft, something hilarious or even a little weird – you’ll be amazed!

This week in our search for all things crafty, we came across this site, Craftastrophe, a  site that has a goal “to showcase those crafts that are funny, weird, strange and make us laugh.”

Well they sure did make us laugh! We found all sorts of weird and wonderful ‘crafty’ creations…..

from Bacon soap….

to a hangman necklace:

This site had us in tears, gasping in shock and just a bit freaked out by some of the weird and wacky creations we found!

On a lighter note, we’ve been loving what our Kaisercraft gallery members have been uploading the the gallery lately, check out their awesome work!

How cute is Jennifer’s Fun Fair layouts – how versatile is this paper?

We love how Jennifer has made her own  leaves on the ‘Cheeky Monkey’ layout below by using punches and cutting out shapes from the patterned paper!

And how cute are these Mumma Bushka cards that  Antheam has created?

This week we also created a Facebook Fan Page for Kaisercraft - we’ll add photos, product images, information about upcoming events and much more. So if any of you are on facebook, feel free to add yourself as a fan of Kaisercraft.

We’ll be adding status updates, special events, images and exclusive content – and adding to it frequently. And, guess what? You can even add your own photos to the page and start your own discussions.

P.S. Leave us a message on the Kaisercraft “wall” while you are there.

Are you looking for ways to incorporate  many photos onto a layout without looking over-crowded and busy? Check out Melissa Kennedy’s Melbourne Zoo layouts below – here she has used the Fun Fair for her family’s trip to the Melbourne Zoo. Simply add a few strips of patterned paper, cut out a few circles and animal shapes, add some quick journalling, doodling and rub-ons and it’s complete!

Our fantastic Design Team has created these projects to show you how fantastic those cute little Kaiserbots can be!! Featuring: K-bots paper and Connector kids BTP.

Lisa Hallett challenged herself to only use two of the K-bots papers for this layout. One for layering (Switch) , and another for embellishments (Surge).

Jaimee Voight created this unusual game box and game for her daughters. “The girls love to play ‘party type’ games when its rainy…egg and spoon races and that sort of thing. One of the games we play is hide and seek.. we hide a pile of stuff (usually my teaspoons) and run around looking for them. When I saw these  Connector kids, I knew they would be perfect to play this game with and as the KBots paper reminded me of vintage style toys it seemed a good choice to use.”

So here’s Jaimee’s Hide and Seek Game – she didn’t bother to embellish the ‘kids’ as they get rough handled and had to be ‘kid safe’. She coated each ‘kid’ with two coats of mod podge and threaded a little string through the holes so you can hang them on door knobs etc. All the ‘kids’ store easily in her daughter toy cupboard in a box she embellished with the k-bots paper.

We love how Jaimee has also  covered a chocolate bar with the papers and embellished with paper cogs and rhinestones – a quick and easy present idea!
