Kaisercraft Garage Days - Tool Box

Back again with another Off The Page Project using the ever so great Garage Days Collection from Kaisercraft.  I started with the raw flatpack pieces from the BTP Tool Box (SB2227).


 The next thing to do was to sort out what I was planing on using and where. Once that was all sorted and I had come up with a plan of attack, I started to stick and cut the pieces of paper to the sections I wanted covered. The next step was to work out what I was doing with the blank uncovered sections. I used Tim Holtz distress metallic paint to paint the base of the tool box to give it a metal look.

I also created a wood veneer look for the edges and the inside of the ends. I did this by first applying Tim Holtz Distress Ink to the area, then stamp the area using the same ink and a wood grain stamp, and finally applying a thin coat of crackle accents.

I also covered all the paper with a sealer to protect it in use. I didn't overly decorate this as I am hoping it will be able to be used as a simple toolbox for inside tools. Hope you enjoyed it and don't forget that you can buy all the materials at A Fastlane Scrappe Supplies:-)

Sneak Peek Of New Kaisercraft Garage Days

Once again I have been busy crafting, this time a quick card using Kaisercrafts November release 'Garage Days'. I can't wait for this range to be released, it's a great masculine range with lots of vintage inspired items with a fun twist.
The front of the card I made by cutting the Kaisercraft Base Coat  wood paneling pieces into the panels then distressing them and inked. I fussy cut the gas pump for on of the 12x12 sheets of Garage Days. I also used some of the sheets out of the 61/2 inch paper pad (love the glazed sheets), some of the collectables and a chipboard word.

Graphic 45 Transatlantique 60th Birthday Album

Today I am sharing an album I have just finished for my step dads 60th birthday. I started with one of the blank MDF Kaisercraft 60th albums. I always have so much fun creating with these albums.
The theme I went with for his album was travel (so much easier if you use a theme or colour palette) and because I love vintage and the fact that he is 60, I went with Graphic 45 Transatlantique collection.
 Now that I had a starting point I just went with the flow. This is what I ended up with, plus a few extra items here and there.

Happy Birthday & Time To Start!

I was not to sure on how to start this, but i guess my birthday is as good of an excuse as anything.  I have been doing scrapbooking for over 10 years and have recently been given the opportunity to work and teach at the local scrapping store A Fastlane Scrappe Supplies.
I have been teaching now for 9 Months and I am loving it! So with this i thought i would start a blog to share these pages and other projects I do that i would love to share with other arty crafty people.

This first layout I am sharing is one I did for my birthday. I made the background using acrylic paint, Distress Ink and Dylusion Sprays. There is two hidden journal cards (or for extra pics) in a pocket made with the photo mat and I made the cute pinwheels from leftover card stock.
