Cute Snapchat Fun | D-lish Scraps

Hello Hello! I'm back today with a new layout share for D-lish Scraps. I'm so excited to be staying on the team for a few more months to share more scrappy goodness! 

The layout I'm sharing today is based on a challenge set by Amanda from the September Cyber Crop.  "To use a word cloud as inspiration for your project"

I've used some of the new Puffy Alphas, Kaisercraft alpha stickers, wordfetti strips, a silver glitter thicker word and some typed journalling to create my word cloud. I also added a Dusty Attic chipboard speech bubble and some page pebbles to create dimension and to add a different texture to the page. I sewed through all the alpha sticker words for added detail, and to keep them stuck on the page, as over time I find the Kaiser stickers can become less sticky.

Let's take a closer look..

I've scattered little groups of embellishments rather than the big clusters that I've been making recently. I've used my absolute favourite paper flowers, Forget me Nots, along with resin flowers, new glitter dots, a resin bird, heart and enamel shapes. I also altered both page pebbles on the page with a gelato, smudged straight onto the chipboard for an extra pop of colour.

So many words to describe the photo I chose, I could have kept going!

I felt that the speech bubble needed to stay plain, rather than altering with colour or glitter, as the page is quite full of colour as it was. I also had a different colour felt bow on the page, but swapped it out for the white & black at the last minute.

And the last scattering of embellishments. I added more stitching to the edge of the wordfetti strip too. Love the extra detail machine sewing gives to a page.

And lastly a close up of the adorable picture I chose to document. We really do love snapchat here! There's plenty more photos in our collection to add to the scrapbooks too

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 

Until next time, Happy Scrapping

You are Two | The Cut Shoppe

Hi Everyone! I'm here today with a fun and bright layout featuring the Brush up Alpha cut file for The Cut Shoppe. I've used more of my current favourite Fancy Free collection from Pink Paislee, as its still relatively new to me, and it took so long to get my hands on it here in Australia!

I'm finally documenting a special 2nd birthday from a few years back with this page, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. 

To create the background I've made the words by welding letters from the Brush Up Alpha set together, then grouped the words together to enable me to resize each individual line separately. Once cut out, I've sewn each line down onto the white cardstock using both straight and zigzag stitch. I really like the white on white look, as it allows you to add more detail without it taking over the page.

To create the photo stack I've layered 6x6 papers with a lace doily, and popped them up with some fun foam for a little extra dimension. I also added part of my journalling to the blank space on the photo. I found this helped to finish the page off.

Now I know I've used these fussy cut flowers on my previous pages, but I REALLY like the way they look arranged like this. Plus, I don't have the matching ephemera pack from this collection, so I repeated the arrangements to ensure the page was embellished.

Once the remainder of the page was finished I worked on making the title POP. I did however make a slight boo boo with Color shine as it was already sewn to the page. Whoops! I do still like how it turned out, even with the extra colour along the stitched line

Lastly, I cut down the edges of the white cardstock slightly, and matted to a pattern paper from the same collection, then made a mini cluster to the top right of the page with part of a tag, some chipboard and a glitter thicker cross

Well thats all from me today, Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!!

2 Crazy Kids | Pink Paislee

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a quick 'Just for Fun' Layout to share with you all. I'm still going crazy with the Fancy Free collection. I can't help it!

This layout documents a fun and crazy photo of Leila and our nephew Flynn. These two play so well together, and get a little crazy at times!

To create the background I used the No.6 paper from the 6x6 paper pad, the one with lots of pattern squares. I used both sheets from the pad, cut all the squares into messy triangles and arranged them in 2 different directions. I glued each triangle down in the centre, then sewed messy lines through each row, and roughed up the corners. Once this was finished I worked on creating the photo and title cards stack. This time I've used pieces of the B side of pattern paper no.11 and a couple of Journal cards from the Tags pack. I've used chipboard, thickers and fancy buttons from the collection for embellishing and part of the title, plus I punched heart shapes from the 6x6 piece of no.3 paper. Lastly I dipped into my hoarded collection of alphabet stickers to create the remainder of the title, then added some typed journalling to finish it off.

Here's some close ups..

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Until next time, Happy Scrapping!

Best Ever | The Cut Shoppe

Hello fellow Creators! I'm back today with a cute new layout using the Oodles of Doodles cut file set from The Cut Shoppe and a super cute photo of my little girl Leila. This face is so precious to us, and a few years have passed since the photo was taken, but I just had to share it with you all.

I've focused on using just 1 design from the set, the multiple heart shape, which I've duplicated 5 times and welded together to create a flower shape. Each similar part of the design has been backed with the same papers. Smaller hearts all in a spotted paper, middle heart pieces in an ombre brush stroke paper and the outer heart shapes in a multi coloured painted effect paper. Then lastly, the middle star with a bright green paper. Once all the pieces were backed I sewed around each shape with some white cotton thread.

Here's some close ups..

I alternated the stitching size around the shapes for some added texture

I embellished the page with some fussy cut flowers from the same collection, Fancy Free by Paige Evans. Love this collection and it is perfect for using with cut files!

Thats all from me today. I hope this has inspired you in some way. 

Be sure to check out the new files within The Cut Shoppe Etsy store, and don't forget to share your creations with us!

Until next time, Happy Scrapping

Life with you | D-lish Scraps

Hello Hello! Michelle back today with my final share for D-lish Scraps this month, and my last as part of the Current Design Team. I have really REALLY loved being part of the D-lish team for the amount of time that I've been here. I feel very honoured to have been able to share so much inspiration with you all for as long as I have. Many Thanks to Amanda for being such a Wonderful person to work for, and for keeping me around for as long as she has! It's been a truly amazing experience!

For my last share this month I just went with the flow of creating. 

I grabbed a cute photo of Leila, some of my newest favourite collection thats not actually so new, a few of my favourites from the D-lish Store and came up with this..

I think this is by far one of my favourites from recent months. We really do love playing with Snapchat in this house! So many fun photos on my camera roll, and plenty of hilarious ones to break out for her 21st HAHA

Lets take a look at some close ups..

I've hoarded had this Flair in my stash for so long and I finally found the right layout to use it on. The colours were perfect and so was the wording. There's a Journal It date tab tucked in under those paper layers too.

I've added a cute little pick n place bow to the photo to make it look like Leila is actually wearing it

What's a pretty page without a delicate lace doily? I've used a 5inch size from my stash that is similar to the 6 inch size in store

There are so many beautiful blooms within the D-lish Shop that compliment each other so well. For this cluster I've grouped most of my favourites together - Magnolia, Pastel Petal, Forget Me Not, and Wax blossom, along with a leaf shape wooden button and a Tassel

The Wood Veneer words within the Corbett Creations collection are perfect for adding a touch of sparkle to. I've used silver Glitter paste from BoBunny

Lastly I've added some wood buttons to the top and bottom corners of the page, along with some Enamel shapes and a Wordfetti strip. All other papers and embellishments are from the Fancy Free collection by Paige Evans for Pink Paislee. 

Thats all from me. 

Thanks so very much for stopping by today and for all the well wishes throughout my time here as a D-lish Designer. 

Until next time, Happy Scrapping

Cherish Crazy | The Cut Shoppe

Hi Everyone! Today I have a fun layout to share using the new Strings Attached cut file set from The Cut Shoppe. I've teamed it up with a fun new Sketch designed by Ashley for her Stretch Your Sketch series with Missy Whidden.. 

I love the fun designs within this set and thought they would be perfect to use with the Sketch.

I'm really happy with how this turned out. The sketch was really easy to follow, and the cut file worked perfect for it. I've resized the different circle designs from the set by overlaying the traced shapes over a jpg image of the sketch within Silhouette Studio.

 The cut-out pieces have been backed with papers from the fun and bright Fancy Free collection by Paige Evans, for Pink Paislee. I've also used the cut out shapes from inside of the star and heart circles as extra layers around the layout. 

Here's come close ups.. 

I mixed up the way I backed each individual circle, I left the heart of this open so that I could layer embellishments above and within the shape

 
Crazy alright! Leila has always been a crazy face puller!! haha

These designs are perfect for layering and tucking embellishments within the cut pieces

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope this has been a hit of inspiration for you!!

Be sure to check out The Cut Shoppe Etsy store for more fun and inspiring designs, and don't forget to share what you make with us!

Until next time, Happy Scrapping
