happy craft creations December challenge

 here we are  2 days to go  before the end of the year , how this year has flown, with   new horizons  happening in the new year,

Today,  i didnt feel  like doing  much so  just  read  for most of the day.At 5 pm,  i  thought , these photos are not going to put themselves on the  layouts  without some help,  go find some papers and start something, get motivated, ohh its tea time , ohh well , that blew  that idea ,

 after tea,  came into  craft room again. im going to get something started, i recently bought a  couple of  Instr albums so thought. i have lots of  holidays at the sea,  so why not start it with that,  I recently bought the new Kaiser  deep sea collection and  collectables  which i love  as i dont do much fussy cutting with my arthritis so  collectables are  fast and easy for me 
i have  added kaisers card stock  marine  to the base, then  around the outside have used some string from Kaszazz and  sprayed it  with  various  colours of  Kaiser mists  let dry by fan

some years ago, i  bought at Kaiser  Matisse dry medium  Weipa  Calvined bauxite. you  know  you are going to use it one day. so after finding  it  in my  search to  clean up  my room ,leave on the table  ,when i see it i will use it.  (im hoping to  tidy the  room by the end of the year lol) says me whos been at it  for years always changing things around cause im not happy with the way it was.  anyway

  I have stamped  with  Kaiser speckled   stencil randomly and  with a bubble stamp  from  my stash , have stamped  in Kaiser  Island and Lagoon       inks
my photos are  collage, so i havent cut them apart,  and have matted with  Kaiser Black  cardstock
the   silver sea horse which i just love sea horses(  one of my many sea mammals)  , is from a cheap shop  near by
 i ave then just placed  the  collectables and the  bauxite around the bottom of  my page ,

hope you like it  and inspires you to  give it a go ,

wishing you all a very happy new year ,
stay safe ,drive carefully
most of all  have a happy crafting new year

cheers

Natalies album

hi everyone,
hope you are having a fun day   gosh it getting close to Christmas now hey, i havent got  any food yet, as hubby said dont worry about getting anything special  well, its just not Christmas if i dont have  the tree up and the tinsel and cards , but  ohh well, I have however  placed all my Christmas cards in my craft room on the security  grill so it looks pretty neat
But i have been waiting 6 months for this day to arrive, since June, to show this album 
my best friend  Natalie is turning 50 this year,  instead of  buying the usual  papers  etc, i thought i would make something special for her, she wanted me to  go scuba diving with her  for her present,   but (a i dont swim so good, and b,  get  sea sick ) so  lets have a think , maybe a mini album   i thought,  . someone had told me of  many  mini albums on utube , i thought no, i like  to do  my own thing ,   but then again  having a look wont hurt will it ,  maybe give me some ideas even , oh my goodness  what to choose .go back to original plan  for now and then i saw it  i  saw this  album and thought   a change here  i need  more pages than  they have , i have lots of  photos  of Natalie and i   with friends,
 I have used  Kaisers   Memory Lane papers
so here are my pages
Hope you enjoy this ,  Natalie's birthday doesn't come to  after Christmas  but she received it early  so i  could be there when she opened it

thanks for looking , i have a couple more mini albums   to add once i load them up , im on a roll now , 

  cheers

birthday card
Today, i thought i would create a Birthday card for my brother whos birthday was yesterday and  we are having dinner tonight with him  (running a bit tight on things lately )

Ive used , Kaisers  On The Move a very old collection ,  I have in my collection the small pad  which has  papers and  shapes  to it  and also have the collectables for it , so i just spread out on the table and pick out what i require ,
cogs ,
collectables of   on the  Move and Hello  today ,
 ive cut a  piece of card stock and  folded it and then cut to  148 x 148 cms
 cut  the paper                                                                         130 x 140  cms
 distress  it  as its for a man
ink it in black for extra   depth
 get out  the shaped   edging wanted to  inked it
 then  seeing as he's a car buff, got out  car,   words and inked them
get cogs out  place one f the cogs under the   first papers if you  haven't glued it down yet,   this  i feel gives a new dimension

 now its just a matter of assembling the card

 with the car, i have used  Collall  3 D  Decoupage  silconen  to  raise the car up  i  love this stuff ,  i used it instead of  foam tape

you can add happy birthday  or as i did  i had-   live in the moment  from  hello today  collections
enjoy
happy crafting
good night all

 i recently bought  the new  heartfelt creations  instr  album says it can fit  30 - 60  photos in it , although im thinking , my trip to   Perth i took 160  i wonder if this will  work  ? ? ? ? lets see hey,  so seeing the photos were taken  42 years ago ,some of them are looking a bit reddish   in the photos  so trying to  make them  loo good without having to spend a lot of  money going up to Harvey normal all the time to   re colour them 

After my arrival  ( which to say the least  is a long story which i wont go into LOL)  and  we didn't know about time change  my first day  was to see everything i could in the 3 days i was there  so   here  i was in  London court .
