Travel Album This album was created using the Kaisercraft Camera Album and their June Check-In Collection. The pages of the album are blank all ready for the recipient to add some pictures and journaling notes from their trip This collection has a lot of really cool embellishments and you can see the complete Collection on the Kaisercraft website here.

Paper Issues
Hi Everyone and if you are on the Paper Issues blog-hop – you should be visiting from Sabrina’s fabulous blog. [The contest previously published here has now closed. The randomly chosen winner was Leonie] I have a fun project to share today – it’s a Storage Unit from Kaisercraft and I have used the American Crafts Dear Lizzy range along with a few American Crafts extras to decorate. Like all the Kasiercraft BTP projects I complete I have sanded all the edges and painted with acrylic paint before starting. I then pre-cut paper to fit all the visible sides, glued the drawers together, attached the paper and started to decorate them. All the drawers are fully lined with paper too. This fabulous collection is not new but I only just managed to lay my hands on it here in New Zealand! It’s so pretty and I actually added the name of a little girl I knew who was having a birthday onto the side and gave it as a gift! Here are a few extra close up pictures of the details Next on the hop is Kim Castillon and I guarantee she has something amazing to show you. Lowri 🙂

I have used acrylic stamps and food coloring to create some cute critter cookie toppers! 2) Acrylic Stamp Cookies Tutorial Knead a little cornflour into your icing paste until it loses that sticky surface feeling Roll the icing between 2 sheets of non-stick baking parchment. Lightly dust the surface of the icing with cornstarch again to remove any trace of stickiness Spread some gel icing onto an acrylic block (I used Chefmaster) Ink your stamp with the colouring – […]
