Kaiser Craft 'Forget-Me-Not' Layouts...

As soon as the Kaiser Craft December collections arrived I fell in love with the colours of the 'Forget Me Not' collection and knew I wanted to try and create something using this set!

I created two layouts in the end and am really pleased with how they came out - sometimes I can spend hours and hours on a layout but these 2 came together very quickly (to my relief! ... when one comes together quickly that I am pleased with it seems to spur me on somehow!)

Kaiser Craft Pickled Pear Layout ...

I wanted to share a layout I created using the new Kaiser Craft collection - "Pickled Pear". On first glance of this set I have to admit I was undecided. I always like to keep an eye on the Kaiser Craft blog (www.kaisercraft.com.au/blog) and their layouts and inspiration and in the past have found myself really liking layouts and cards made with collections I initially did not like!

So with that in mind I convinced myself that even if you initially do not like a paper set, you can suprise yourself with what can be acheived - it is always good to have a challenge!

This layout came together really quickly in the end and I am so pleased with the final result:
