Snapshot.. with D-lish Scraps

Hi Everyone, 

Sadly today is my last layout share for this current D-lish Scraps Design Team

I would like to thank Amanda for this wonderful opportunity the last 6 months, I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of letting my creativity flow with D-lish goodies! 

This page started out completely different. It was originally meant to be a full page of white cardstock/mixed media background, based on the current Inspiration Board.. But that wasn't working for me, so I ripped half the page up and started again, by mounting the best part to an older Amy Tangerine paper. So happy with how its turned out, I hope you like it too!

 To make the background Ive used 2 different shades of blue distress ink, then once dry, stencilled the arrows with a Scrap fx stencil, coral coloured distress ink and some glitter paste. Lastly some splatterings of white ink, teal and gold color shine.

I started the embellishing with the photo mat. 

Ive grabbed a paper bag and some matching hand dyed muslin, and layered with a doily 

The Felt bow finished the photo off and made Leila look even Cuter!

Next up, Ive layered a journal it from a past kit, with a wordfetti strip, the strip from the bottom of the pattern paper, and a few other coloured Journal Its

 A sprinkling of Resin flowers, a resin bird, flair button from a past kit and enamel shapes make up the last of the embellishments for the page

Thanks for joining me the past few days

I look forward to seeing what the rest of the team creates for our last month of Inspiration

This Crazy Face.. with D-lish Scraps

Hi Everyone

Back today with another Layout share for D-lish Scraps

This one features a layout based on one of the current Cyber Crop Challenges, set by Sue

Its also Colour palette that I don't think Ive every used before.. Purple and orange with black, white and Silver! How very halloween!!

Love the sketch Sue has designed, so many fun layers!

Once again Ive gone straight to my paper bag stash rather than my pattern papers. 

Ive also added in some silver and white spotted tissue paper (from a past kit) and more fun punchinella!

All layered up together with some strips of washi tape - both colours are part of one roll, how cool!

A couple of Journal its layered with a Wooden Camera mixed with some Resin pieces and a paper flower make up this cluster

Love using Wordfetti, for adding some extra 'journalling' of sorts to the page. So many fun little sentiments can be found within the range

And lastly the title made from black Thickers, and a few left over strips of paper bag, tissue paper and washi strips finish the page off.

Thanks for stopping by today, I will be back tomorrow with my last page for the month

Document Happy.. with D-lish Scraps

Hello Everyone!

Today I have the first of my 3 last pages for the current D-lish Scraps Team

I have really enjoyed being part of the team over the last 6 months. If you love D-lish goodies, then I encourage you to apply now for the next group of inspiring designers.

Now back to the layout ;)

Today, like the last 5 months, Im starting with an Inspiration Board layout

A reminder of the board which was shared HERE yesterday

I drew inspiration from the chevron patterns, feathers, birds and arrows. The Teal, blue, gold and white colours within the board are one of my favourite colour combinations that I just don't use enough, and Ive even added some slight hints of oranges. 

 Love how this has turned out. Such an easy sketch to play around with. And, Im really liking using up some of my paper bag stash. I've layered up 2 5x7 bags by opening them up and using them like I would pattern papers. 

Ive used leftover strips from the chevron bag along the top and bottom of the page, layered with some offcuts of velum, embellished with a Resin Bird and enamel shapes, then splattered with Gold Color Shine

Main cluster of the page made with feathers (from a recent Crate Paper collection, perfect colours for this layout, and complimented the D-lish embellishments) an Arrow paper clip, Journal It, some wooden buttons - one that Ive added some extra glitter to, and a flair button

I made my title using glitter paper and Heidi Swapp metal word dies, Ive stuck the words directly to the photos, which are mounted onto vellum, then a banner strip of punchinella

Theres some repetition of embellishments and clusters around this page, this mini cluster made of more wooden buttons and a Flair button

And lastly Ive mirrored the same strip and birds from the top of the page along the bottom, this time with 2 resin birds and a splattering of gold Color Shine.

Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share your projects with us on the D-lish Scraps Blog. 

Back with more tomorrow

My Creative Space.. Sassy Scrapper Recipe Challenge August 2015

Hi Everyone

I have another Challenge layout to share with you.

This layout was made for the Sassy Scrappers August Recipe Challenge

I took inspiration from all the bright colours, which I love to scrap with as they are SO much Fun!

I started with a Kaiser Mist in Pink, and using some plastic packaging and water, created some random splotches around the page. I layered my photo up with some silver POW glitter paper and a favourite Doily, then wound the twine across the page and glued/stapled it into place

A few cute mini clusters of stickers, enamel dots and shapes and a paper flower or 2 from my D-lish embellishments stash

I created a banner using stickers from a Bella Blvd sticker sheet, and sewed them down with the sewing machine. More embellishments from D-lish Scraps (Flair from Clique Kits just add Color kit)

Using my trusty old typewriter, Ive added a few strips of text on vellum to finish the layout off

Thanks again for stopping by

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and can find time to Get your craft on

Happy Scrapping

Bathing Beauty.. Jot Magazine Mood board August 2015

Hi Everyone, 

Today Im sharing a page I've made for the August Jot Magazine mood board. 

Loving the mix of blues within this board. I thought it was going to be a challenge for me to not use Pink, but I think I managed pretty well. I've stayed true to my style, and had lots of fun in the process.

 Bathing Beauty is made up of something old, something new, something borrowed and so much blue! 

Old pattern papers from my stash that Ive been holding on to for 'the right page' teamed with New Dish Scraps embellishments and I borrowed mums sewing machine quite some time ago, and am yet to give it back

 Rather than hand writing the journalling like I normally do, I've opted for typed journalling on vellum using my typewriter

 A mixed alpha title, using up some thickers from my stash. Ive had both these packs for quite a few years, neither of them opened up lol

 I went straight to my D-lish stash for embellishments, plenty of pretty ones to chose from

and lastly a close up of some smooshed (is that even a word) modelling paste that I found wrapped up in my desk drawer. No idea what colour it was that I used from my Color shine collection to make it like that, it was from a few months ago

Thanks for stopping by, More to share soon for another current scrappy challenge

Hooray, I did it!

Hooray, Today is my last page share for D-lish Scraps this month, and it would have to be my most favourite!

It might have something to do with the awesome paper I chose for the background, or the fun embellishments I chose to scatter around the page

To begin with I sewed around the circular printed design of the page, then made a simple photo mat made from silver Punchinella. I popped the photo up with some foam tape for a bit of dimension, then embellished with a sequin bow and enamel shapes from the 6th Birthday sale

Next up I worked on this group of Journal It's from a few different packs (Caribbean Skies Journal kit bits pack, Polka dot arrow word tabs, and a 'Bright' Jumbo Note ticket that I fussy cut)

Another Sequin bow tops this cluster of cuteness, The cute little deer flair is from the Caribbean Skies kit bit flair pack. Ive also used Journal its from the Mixed ticket tabs and Jumbo word tickets packs

Lastly I worked on the title, again using mixed alphas from my stash and another sequin bow

Thanks for joining me the last few days, Cant wait to get started on next months pages

Happy Scrapping

This little Piggy

Hello again

Im back today with a second layout inspired by this months Inspiration Board colour palette..

These colours are definitely my favourites to scrap with

I started the background using a stencil from my stash, some texture paste and Teal Color Shine. I left it to dry, then added some soft pink hearts with a Scrap FX stencil and Distress ink. 

Next, Ive opened up a Bitty bag to use behind the photo, and layered both on top of some Pink hand dyed muslin

The first cluster I worked on consists of, some bundled twine, an arrow clip, flair button, Resin flower and bird and 2 paper flowers

Next I gathered some older alphas for my mixed title, I sewed the bottom stickers down as they had started to lose their stickiness. The enamel shapes to the right are from the mixed pack sold over the D-lish Scraps 6th Birthday weekend

The last cluster above the title is made up of a felt bow, resin bird and flower

Lastly Ive gone a little sequin scatter crazy to finish the page off, may have added a few too many lol

Thats all from me today, be sure to check back tomorrow for my last page for this month

Happy Scrapping
