Recipe Box from Kaiser

As soon as I saw this Kaiser recipe box I wanted it, I have so many scraps of paper with food creations that desperately needed organising, this looked perfect for the job. 

 I painted the box in antique cream paint from Kaiser then covered it in the script paper, again from Kaiser. I mat and layered the top with my nesties and made some matching flowers, the letters are a digital freebie,will post a link if I can trace them.

 I think the border die is a Cheery Lynn one which I threaded brown ribbon through. The saying is another free wordart.

Inside I have written out my favorite recipes and laminated them, I knew I would use the laminator one day!

Another area of my life organised.

Kaiser advent calendar

I bought this gorgeous advent calendar from kaiser craft, it's made from wood with little carboard boxes, first of all I painted it with kaiser cream paint then I used five different papers to cover the main box and little boxes, then I added flowers and pearls. The centre has the same paper, with lace edges, a sizzix flower and cuttlebug embossed butterflies and die cut flowers

Little pram

Isn't this just the sweetest little pram, it is a free, yes free! LOL download from the very kind Lynn, click here for the link to the template. I am making a few baby things at the ,moment as I am expecting a new niece or nephew, started with my favorite pink things, better do some blue ones now. It looks much nicer than the photo, I have added a bead handle and embossed the pram cover with my cuttlebug and added lace and bows, I will personalise when the time comes

Baby shoes

I printed the gingham design onto my card, then cut the template with my good old craft robo, I added some daisies around the bottom edge, a little button and gem stone, I have added cord to hang them up with a tag and nappy pin. For the box I cut an appeture with my oval nestie and added acetate, I have stamped little footprints inside the box and finished with peeloffs, just need to personalise it when the time comes
