INTO THE WILD INSPIRATION

Cat got into the new Kaisercraft

"Into the Wild" collection

and created some fabulous layouts

of our NSD 2014 retreat.

Our theme was 

"It's a Jungle out There"

so this collection is "purrfect" for it! 

 

This page shows the tables and

then how some were decorated.

I love this particular page from the collection--

that zebra is "to die for"!

 This was another of my favorite

pages from the collection. 

 Love the lion roaring in  the lower right hand corner!

Loved the decorated vehicle!

Everyone comes to the retreat to have a great time!

 

This page features the pinatas that

Patrice created for us each year.

Love how Cat used the die cut chevrons

as arrows.

The facing page features the other two

pinatas and then everyone moving

in for the scrapbook goodies from the pinatas. 

It was pretty "wild"!!!

The group shots and 

animal cookies.

That burlap goes perfectly with this paper!

 

 More photos of the decor

people used on their tables.

Plus they also dressed up!

It really was a JUNGLE and

we had a WILD time!

Come pick up this amazing collection.

It is going to fly off of the shelves!

SCRAP YARD INSPIRATION

 

 This weekend, Cat grabbed some photos of 

Ray and their grandson, Jake.

Then she added in her creativity and some of

Kaisercraft's "Scrap Yard" and

created this great layout.

 

These photos are priceless and look

great on this paper.

Grandpa is showing Jake how it's done!

On the subject of Ray, Cat had this great news to share:

Dr. Reddy has given Ray the seal of approval on his pacemaker! 

Don't have to go back for 3 months. 

We are so thankful that Ray went for

his checkup a few weeks ago 

and that Dr. Hisel heard the irregularity

in his heartbeat.  

We tend to skip checkups, but

this should be a lesson to us all about

how important they can be.

Speaking of checkups:

 Did you even know there was such a day?

It was yesterday.

The purpose is to remind women to go

for their mammograms.

So, even if you missed the holiday,

here is your reminder:

If you haven't had your mammogram done

yet, call and schedule one.

Don't forget!

ARE YOU READY FOR A FIESTA?

Check out "Fiesta", a beautiful, bright colored

collection from Kaisercraft!

Green, pink, yellow, orange, and

touches of blue create the beautiful

patterns of this collection.

 You can create all kinds of

beautiful layouts for your nature

photos with this collection.

I can just imagine the fabulous layouts

Cat will create for her bird, butterfly,

and wildflower photos.

So come grab some of this fantastic

collection for YOUR layouts!

I can't wait to see what you create.

TIM HOLTZ PORTFOLIO

Katina attended the crop on Saturday and

had not scrapbooked in TWO YEARS!!!

You would never know by looking at the fabulous job

she did on the Tim Holtz portfolio she "pimped out".

We all fell in love with the button heart she

created on the front of the portfolio.

She used a wonderful combination of products on 

the portfolio. 

Check out the glassine bags on the left.

LOVE those!

She combined Kaisercraft's "Mix and Match"

with My Minds Eye "Lost and Found"

collections beautifully on this portfolio.

 

We certainly hope that it isn't another two

years before Katina is able to scrapbook again.

We all had a wonderful time on Saturday and

were glad that everyone made it home before the

storms hit!

Come by and pick up one of these portfolios

and see what you can create with one!

NAPTIME....

 

Cat created this layout recently using Kaisercraft's Basecoat collection.

I love these papers and love how Cat cut the planks apart and used them

as embellishments.

Then she used another piece from the collection as the photo mat.

The title was created by the subject of the layout, Ray!

Ray created the title with his trusty laser!

Cat repeated cutting apart the planks and using them as borders on this page.

She used some twine/yarn as more embellishments.

Ray has the same routine as my husband!

There are so many beautiful papers in this collection.

Be sure you check it out the next time you are at the store.

It goes with so many other collections.

 

KAISERCRAFT BIRTHDAY LAYOUTS OF RAY

Don't you love how she cut out the balloons and 

used baker's twine for the strings?!

Great photo of Ray enjoying his birthday lunch.

And, here is the second half of the two page layout.

Gotta have some cake!

And doesn't this luscious German chocolate cake just make you drool?

Yummy!!!

Love how Cat distressed the edges o the polka dot paper.

Once again, Cat has created great layouts.
