Beautiful Life Class Layouts | Celebr8

#kerriegurney #celebr8

Hi Everyone I hope you are all safe and healthy. While self isolating I was going through deleting photos from my phone and came across photos of these layouts I created for Celebr8. These were a bonus take home class that attendees were given when Erin and Jenny did their Celebr8 classes back in February.
I absolutely love this Beautiful Life collection and it was so easy to create with and as you can see it is perfect for many occasions.
Scroll down for a closer look at my layouts.

Tip; add a watercolour effect using sprays or ink pads. Just spritz or dab colour onto craft mat and spritz with water then tap page onto the craft mat

Tip; double layer embellishments using foam tape and some cotton thread, muslin or sisal fibre to add  texture and dimension

Tip; If you visit parks grab their flyers that way you can add their logo to your clusters 

I always like to add splatters to finish off my layouts

Celebr8 collections are available from your local papercrafting stores in South Africa and Australia

if you local store doesn't yet stock Celebr8 collections ask them to get them in

 Happy Creating

Beautiful Life Class Layouts | Celebr8

Unforgettable Memories | Celebr8

#kerriegurney #celebr8

Howzit everyone, today I am sharing a layout  i created using Celebr8's Photo {Booth} collection that i has photos that bring back so many amazing memories and emotions for me.
While in South Africa for Scrapbook Studio's The EVENT at  which I was the surprise guest tutor, i chatted  to some of the very passionate animal loving ladies who strongly suggestion we visit Addo Elephant Park so we did. Actually Corlia has been telling me for year i must visit and no I know why she loves it so much. It was truly amazing and to get to do it with Bezzie and Cariena on Cariena's birthday was even more special. We spent two full days there and all three of us left a piece of our hearts in Addo.

This layout features photos of before and after this elephant charged at us! it was just the three of us in our little hire car and this fella decided he had enough of us taking photos and charged.
While frightening at the time especially while I was reversing the car back away from him being careful as to not go too far back and run over the Zebras on the road behind us :)
We decided to just pull over cut the engine and let him pass which he did, mind you I don't think the three of were game enough to take a breath while he passed by.
this was about half an hour after we had entered the park so we knew the next two days were going to be ones  we will all remember forever.

Unforgettable Memories | Celebr8

#kerriegurney #cocoavanillastudio

Hi everyone, here is a layout I created back in September but only added the photos after my South African Adventure. I love these photos of my bestie and I as they bring back so many emotions of what it was like to walk with these gentle giants. The elephants at Knysna Elephant Park have all been rescued and will live out their day being cared for by the amazing carers at Knysna.To be able to feed them and walk with them was something I shall never forget they truly are just so gentle, unless the are provoked or protecting their young.

I have used the More than Words collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio along with Chipboard from Celebr8  and my favourite leaf die with a sprinkling of flowers to create this simple but beautiful layout.

 Happy Creating

I love Cocoa Vanilla Studio's More than Words collection it is just so versatile for any occasion.
I created this layout back in September and finally popped one of my photos from our amazing South African trip. Here we are with my beautiful friend Cariena at her 5 day retreat we all attended in October. Cariena owns Scrapbook Studio an amazing store in Jeffreys Bay if you ever get to South Africa I highly recommend pooping in and visiting Cariena and her team.

Hi Everyone
While in South Africa in October we got to walk and feed with rescue elephants at Knysna Elephant Park, here is my girl Madiwa and I having a stroll.
I created this layout in Anguree Jansen Van Rensburg's class at Scrapbook Studio's Retreat  in Jeffreys Bay using 49 and Market papers and flowers, 13 @rts mixed media products and Celebr8 Chipboard
I changed mine up a little to make it my own

Forever Friends, Celebr8{ion} South Africa Trip | Celebr8

#kerriegurney #celebr8 #southafrica

Hi Everyone, I am so late in sharing this post with you all.
On July 20th this year I travelled to South Africa to teach at  Celebr8's  Celebr{ion} Events in Johannesburg and Cape Town along with the most fabulous Cariena Basson and Michelle Van Wyk
Those of you who know me well know I absolutely love South Africa and all of the lovely friends I have made while there, the opportunity to not only represent Celebr8 but to go back to my beloved South Africa was an offer which I lept at.
I was so excited when my parcel arrived from Dennis and Erin filled with all the gorgeous papers and embellishments for their Forever Friends collection which was released at the events, I couldn't wait to create with them all.

Here is a looksee at my double page and single layouts I taught at the events.

I am so crushing on this heart stencil

All of the Forever Friends Collection is available from your local stores in South Africa and if you are in Australia you can get your hands on Celebr8 products from
A Place to Create
A Crafter's Passion 
The Scrap n Patch

Here are some highlights from my trip, you can see more on my Instagram

I love these people so much and had the most wonderful two weeks with them all, thanks so much Michelle and Cariena and especially Dennis and Erin for inviting me to be part of your amazing events

and to all the fabulous ladies who attended the classes thanks so much I had the most amazing time with you all

I have also created these layouts using Celebr8 Good Vibes Collection.
These are available as a kit with full colour instructions  to purchase  from A Place to Create.

oh and on my return from South Africa I was very proud to represent Celebr8 at A Place to Create's VIP night hosting Celebr8 Make & Takes using the Forever Friends Collection

Thanks you Dennis and Erin for inviting me to represent your fabulous brand in South Africa and for the amazing and treasured memories I have returned home with.
Thank you too to Cariena and Michelle and everyone who attended the Celebr8{ion} events for making my visit to South Africa so so special, until next time

 Happy Creating
