Stamps Ahead

What do you do? There are many ways to use up left over scraps of paper and embellishments. This notebook (and 5 others) I made for myself and to give away. These were made using products available from Kaszazz and use scraps I had left over from some recent projects. Firstly, used my gel plate and Ranger Distress paints to colour white cardstock.  I loved the way they spread on the gel plate as I applied the paint prior to using brayer.  Another piece of brayered cardstock. Next, after paints were dry I cut to size and I applied texture paste.  Then once the paste was dry I used scraps of paper, stamps and ribbon to finish off the notebooks. More recent notebooks I made are below. I made these notebooks (actually about 20)  for charity fundraising. They are made with Kaisercraft papers and embellishments from my stash.

I recently led a group of ladies to complete this double page layout.  The brief was double page, masculine and not to complicated.  Here it is: The layout was inspired by a layout by Julie Nankervis, also a Kaszazz consultant, in the current Kaszazz catalogue. I made several changes to suit the requirements of the group I was leading.  The layout uses papers and stamps from Kaszazz Distress Surfaces collection. Distress inks used for stamping. The star chipboards were coloured with Distress paint and this was also mixed into Texture paste used to make the bricks.   These are also available from Kaszazz. The ladies really enjoyed completing the layout.  It is versatile and could easily be used for travel photos as well as for the males in your life. Thank you for looking, Margaret
