All About Scrapbooks Australia: Fancy Pants "True Friend" & Kaisercraft "Tropical Punch" By Linda Eggleton

Hello there everyone :)

Today I have my first layout to share for November, using one of

Fancy Pants new collections - True Friend...which is a bright, fun collection! It comes with a variety of stickers, flair buttons, a gorgeous little pack of cute ephemera...and also 2 different coloured 12x12 corrugated cardboard sheets.

"Good Times"

I've used one of the plainer papers for my background piece (the reverse side of "Bond") & have had a bit of a play with stencils, stamping & some colouring with my Gelatos....and I've also added some random torn strips of washi tape around the outer edges of the page, as well as around the edges of the paper layers under the photo.

There is a really fun set of Flairs that comes with this collection and they are a little bit bigger than your average flair button, which I found nice for a change. Here you can see a gorgeous piece of 2Crafty chipboard - Funky Heart Swirls, which I have coloured with a grey gelato.

I have added another of the 2Crafty Funky Heart Swirls in the cluster at the top right of my photo...as well as a Sharon's Butterfly (I love these & they are a great staple chipboard piece to have in your stash!)....and some of the fun little stickers from both the Label Sticker sheet & Fundamentals sticker sheet.

The bright orange alphas are from the large alpha sticker sheet....and I've used a small strip of the black corrugated cardboard running in under my photo - the texture these add to the page is fantastic!

Here you can see a bit of the stencil & stamping work.

I've used 2 different stencils with modelling paste....then stamped over the top with KC Honeycombe stamp & black archival ink, and then coloured with a few different coloured gelatos mixed with water

And here is a bit of a close up of the photo area of the page.

Next I have a few of my Kaisercraft DT projects to share using the gorgeous

"Tropical Punch" collection....which is nothing short of bright, summery & fun!

"Sweet Bliss"

I've added some stencil work using Kaisercraft Lattice template with modelling paste on the background and have layered a few papers in under the photos....which were not taken by me, they are from a recipe website.

Lots of Collectables pieces around the page...and also some paper blooms to form a small cluster.

More collectables pieces to form the title and a few cute little butterflies.

The doily is from the Collectables pack also...and I've cut it in half & used it in 2 separate positions on the page. Journaling is on one of the cute little journal spots from the Collectables pack.

Another Collectables piece...the little banner at the top & I've also added a few heart stickers on top, from the Sticker Sheet.
