“Making a layout after a sketch is always a challenge for me, this time even bigger as I chose to go with the blues in the photo, a color I hardly ever use on my layouts. I made the bigger flowers out of layers of cardstock. I misted the background and used punched out butterflies as a mask, when the color of the mist dried I used the Script clearstamp on it with a slightly darker ink”.

Sweet Layouts from Candy Lane
Hi there. Vicki, Camilla, and Christy here with some layouts completed using the Candy Lane collection from Kaisercraft.
Vicki: I just love the flowers and the colours of this range. It goes to show that the range is not all about the cupcakes – and with all the flowers they inspired me to do a paper trellis on the side of the layout and fill with all the gorgeous flowers.
and so to the layout

Beyond the Page with Homemade
Hi there. Vicki and Camilla here with some storage ideas using the Homemade collection from Kaisercraft.
Vicki: I don’t know about you, but my simple sewing supplies are never where I left them. I am forever looking for needles, pins, cottons and small scissors, so now I have now created a one stop storage unit to help me out. The inspiration came from the gorgeous printed ribbon from the Homemade collection.
I have made a little pin cushion out of foam and placed this in a little plastic container. I have then wrapped this ribbon around the base and left the remaining ribbon loose. With this unit, I should hopefully now be able to find all my sewing supplies when I need them!

Camilla: The Chest of Drawers is one of Kaisercraft’s beautiful storage items. I made this one for my daughter to keep her jewelry in. The papers from the 6″ paper pads are perfect for the fronts of the drawers. Since there is a small shelf on the top, I put some flowers and a butterfly there.

Homemade with Love
Hi there. Vicki,Camilla, and Christy here to share some layouts, using the Homemade collection recently released from Kaisercraft.
Vicki: We recently had some family photos taken and we received all these index prints so we could choose which photos we would like. The photos are not the biggest but they were a perfect fit for the Pretty Patchwork paper from the Homemade collection. It is from this paper that I made a little family home, complete with chimney to showcase the photo shoot.

Christy: One of my favorite things about the Homemade Collection just released here at Kaiser is the warm feel the papers have when worked together. Today I’m sharing one of my favorite pictures of my Grandma and myself taken at my wedding. This is one of the last photos we have taken together before her passing. I think what I like best about his picture is that although she suffered with Alzheimers, the day of my wedding she was so oriented, so purposeful, so in the moment. I am thankful for her and for that day.
