Kaisercraft Haul With Rose Ave, Fairy Garden & Pen & Ink

Hello fellow Alchemists,

Today I am sharing with you a haul from Kaisercraft. There are planners, paper packs and lots of wood flourishes. There was one thing missing from my order and Kaisercraft has since sent it out to me. I may now own two seeing as I ordered one in my next order thinking they would just refund it haha…

I bought so much stuff! 50% off sales are dangerous! I got the large and small Seafoam planners. I am really not happy with these as the glossy paper branding strip sticks to them and leaves a mess! When I contacted them nothing was done… They just said we will pass the info along. UGH. A full review will be coming soon most likely on a new planner channel so keep your eye out. The small Lucky planner I bought as it was the only one I could see being used by a man.

I also bought some extras like the sticky notes and Belle sticker book.  I often use sticky notes for extra tasks and preplanning. The wooden shapes are really cute and I could not resist getting them. They match a lot of stuff I already own.

I got three paper packs, Rose Avenue a very pretty floral stack. Fairy Garden which I have wanted for the longest time. They don’t sell the ephemera or 6″ pads online unfortunately. Lastly I got Pen & Ink but it was a toss up between that and the Curiosity stack lol. They are both really nice vintage stacks. Don’t be surprised if Curiosity appears in the future!

What was your favourite thing I bought? I adore the paper stacks, they are just so beautiful. Hope you are creating some arty crafty alchemy yourselves. See you next time.

24th September Planner Weekly Layout

Hello fellow Alchemists,

Today I am sharing this weeks planner layout using the Love Doki kit. Enjoy the video.

Hope you like the way this turned out. I think I am going to try and push the envelope and squeeze one more layout out of this kit by adding in some washi. Here is a picture of the completed layout.

Reject Shops Full Bloom and 10/9 Planner Page

Hello fellow Alchemists,

I may have been shopping again… The Reject Shop has a nice tropical themed new paper craft range called Full Bloom and I happened to snag a set. What’s a girl to do but to put it straight to good use? This one was a bit out of my comfort zone with bright colours and a colour I wouldn’t normally use.

The new Full Bloom paper kit has stickers, stamps with a really cute Sloth, journaling cards, diecuts and of the paper pad. I went with the Cockatoos this time instead of the Sloth, maybe next time! The Reject Shop ranges are great value, you get so much for a fraction of the cost of designer brands.

I enjoy having a full range of products because it makes pulling together cards and layouts quick and easy. The only thing I possibly need to add  is a stamped sentiment if there isn’t one I want to use in the set or washi tape. The Full Bloom kit is a nice vibrant collection. Hope you are creating some arty crafty alchemy of your own, see you all next time.

Aldi Graphic Markers with Swatching and Other Hauls

Hello fellow Alchemists,

In today’s video I share with you a couple of small hauls from around my town and one sent to me from Victoria :). Luckily I have made a friend who helped me out when I was in a bind by sending me the Aldi Graphic Markers.  You can check out her shop here. Unfortunately there were some issues with the delivery company. So it took a bit longer than it should have to get to me lol.

Why do I need so may clip boards? To help shoot colouring videos hopefully as you can see in this card I made. Still learning though and am thinking I may need to turn the board sideways so the angle better. Also one is for colouring on the go as I have started taking markers and stamped images with me when I go places. The stickers are just so pretty they had to come home with me.

Apparently I need a lot of cutters because I bought the mini Stanley knife set and the rotary cutter from Aldi lol. The rotary cutter is because I have 300gsm cardstock and I waste some because in order for it to fit I my paper trimmer I have to fold each sheet in half :(. Cheap washi is always good and good for happy mail I’m told :D. The mat I didn’t need but it’s a pretty blue. Purple would be even better lol.

My awesome friend Melinda sent me the Alcohol Markers so I could road test them :). So far they actually seem pretty nice. Not many blending colours but they were $1.08au a marker. There are other ways to blend like I showed in the video. In my package there were also some packets of awesome chipboard. I already have a card idea for the super hero masks :).

Hope you are getting some arty crafty alchemy on :). Bye for now.

Disney Paper Haul, Frozen, Pooh, Mickey and Minnie

Hello fellow Alchemists,

Today I am sharing with you some paper pads I was shown on eBay. The seller is so nice that they even send an extra present in your package :D. Three of the pads a gold foil and the last one has embossed designs in colour.

Aren’t they adorable! They are just too cute. They are made of some nice heavy duty paper so will make great laying pieces too. I know these stacks are readily available in Europe and the UK. Poundland in the UK are selling them! They are not easy to get here so I had to buy mine from the Netherlands.

The free stickers have several layers. Keep your eyes peeled, there may be some more arriving soon 😉 Let me know what you would make with these pads in the comments below.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you are creating some arty crafty alchemy yourselves! Bye for now.

Harvey Norman Haul March 2018

Hello fellow Alchemists,

Today I am sharing with you my Harvey Norman Haul. I only went in there because my daughter was looking for something for her tablet and it was cooler in the store with the air con than in the car lol. That decision cost me oops.

As you can see I got a bunch of stickers and die cuts. They range from really small to medium/large and some even have dimension. I really like the wedding ones, the pastel colours are cute! I bought lot’s so I could share some in a future giveaway. 100 subs hint hint. Almost halfway there 🙂

Honestly, I don’t get the random moustache thing! Why is it all over everything! The baby stuff having moustaches really has me puzzled. Is that just me? Do you think random moustaches on things is crazy too? I was so hoping that fad had passed by now…

Hope you are doing some arty crafty alchemy. Thanks for stopping by.
