D-lish Scraps December share 3 - 80 years young

Hi everyone, I hope you have all had an enjoyable Christmas.

I have had my parents visiting from Queensland, so that has been nice. 

My share today, actually features my father, from his 80th birthday this year. 

80 years young

I created this layout, using one of the current cybercrop challenges, set by Amanda Lawrence, owner of D-lish Scraps. She has created a birthday bingo challenge, here are the clues:

From the clues, I used stencilling, a splash of yellow, and a flair. 

I started off my creating my background, using a number 5 x 5 stencil, it is pretty cool. I used texture paste and some Ken Oliver colour bursts for the colour. 

In my first cluster, you can see a flair, coloured wire, journal it's basic journal spot, creative cuts leaves, and flowers from a previous JAP kit. 

In this second cluster, I have also added a Magnolia flower and sequin bow.

My Dad loves his layout, so this was a fun challenge to use for it. I hope you join in for the challenges, if you have some spare time over this holiday period.

D-lish Scraps DT share 3 September

Hi everyone, I am back with my last share for the month. This layout was inspired this months inspiration board, I loved it that much, lol.

I was inspired by the handmade flowers in the second picture, plus the colours. I made my own handmade flowers to replicate those in the board. I did this using wet tissue paper and a rubber stamp and moulded the paper over the stamp. I then added some paint to the ridges. 

It's a calling

In the first cluster, you can see I have used a white 5 inch paper doily, flair, date strip, cabachon from the JAP kit - Flights of Fantasy.

In the second cluster I have used a creative cut that I coloured with gelato, magnolia flower, Green Tara jasmine flower, pastel petals, wood veneer leaves, resin heart and cabachon from Flights of Fantasy JAP kit.

D-lish Scraps DT share 2 - September - All you need is love and a dog

Hi everyone, I am back with my second share for September. This layout is my challenge layout for the cybercrop at  The Scrap Suite. I hope you have managed to take a look at the challenges.
So my challenge is to scrap a family pet. This puppy in the layout is my sons dog, Dusty, who we just adore so much. He has such a beautiful nature and a fun personality, and is extremely clever and handsome - yes I do love him, lol.
Anyway, these photos are from his first birthday, I just had to cook him a cake - carrot and peanut butter, he loved it.

All you need is love and a dog

It's a pretty busy layout, but it suited the photos well, I think. 

This first cluster features a 5 x 7 paper bag to mat the photos, Creative Cuts die cuts, paint chips tab word, JAP kit bits, wood veneer star.

The second cluster features punchinella, JAP past kit bit wood veneer star, flair button, carnation, and enamel dots.

D-lish Scraps July DT share 3 - Sunday Best

Hi everyone, today is my last share for this month, a cute little vintage layout.
I had this photo in my stash, a family photo from when I was a little girl, taken one morning after church. This was back in the 70's, and my mother was so glamorous with her hat, my father so dapper in his suit, my sister and I once again dressed like twins, and my brother in his little homemade suit as well. All of us except Dad, were wearing home made clothes, most probably made by my very clever grandmother.

Sunday Best

So I wanted to continue with the vintage feel of this layout. The papers felt to me like they were right for a vintage inspired layout, with that mix of mustard and pink and multi patterned. 

My first cluster shows creative cuts which I have coloured gold, enamel dot, Little Birdie petite pastel flower.

The next cluster features paper doily, flair button, and pastel petal flower.

The last cluster includes creative cuts leaves, which I left raw, Little Birdie tie dye flower, and a pink bow from a past kit bit. 

I love the vintage feel that was created, yet giving it a modern edge. Creating this layout has made me feel a bit nostalgic for times gone by, but that's the great thing about scrapping our memories.

Until next time, happy scrapping.

D-lish Scraps August DT share 2

Hi everyone, I am back with my second share for the month.
This layout, I created using one of the Just add paper kits. So easy to use, and really, there isn't much more than a bit of paper added, plus a bit of paint, sequins and stamping.

Love Like This

So I used the Love like this JAP kit for this layout. It is a pretty kit, and it worked well for this layout. 

This first cluster features the tag from the kit, and it was just right to use for my layout title. I also added the glitter heart, yellow flower and black and white flower from the JAP kit.

The second cluster features the journaling tag, flair, yellow flowers and pink flower from the JAP kit. It also features a coloured paper doily, Creative Cuts heart, and wood veneer leaf.

The last cluster features the date tag, bow, yellow flower and washi tape all from the JAP kit.

Adorable - D-lish Scraps August DT share 1

Hi everyone, it;s August already, and nearly the end of winter, yay, it's been so cold. I guess when it is horrible weather, it gives us time to scrap away and not be worried about missing the sunshine.
So anyway, today I present my first August share, this one is insipired by the August inspiration board:

How pretty is this? It having the sweet theme to it, I wanted to use a sweet photo, so I did this one of a friends grand-daughter, she is so sweet in this photo. 

Adorable

Wow I did pull out some old papers for this, remember those die cut scalloped pages - yes, that is what that is behind the photo, but it worked so well. Anyway, I think I have brought it back to the modern day with all the D-lish Scraps goodies. I also stenciled the background paper, with some texture paste and added some colour to the stenciled hearts. 

In my first cluster, I have used Memory Maze chipboard word title, white paper doily, Creative Cuts heart, Green Tara Jasmine flower, Pastel petals, wood veneer leaves, and enamel dot.

The second cluster features a cornflower, wood veneer leaf, flair button, sequin bow, pastel petals, ombre wordfetti and enamel dot.

The last cluster, features a Creative Cuts large heart behind the photo, and a bitty bag.

I hope you can find some time to have a go at the inspiration board, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Jam & Cram - D-lish Scraps DT share number 3 August

Hi everyone, I am back with my last share for July. This layout is inspired by one of the current cybercrop challenges in the Scrap Suite, by Amy Churchward. I love Amy's work, so she is so clever with mixed media. So Amy's challenge is to be inspired by food. Amy's original inspiration was scones, and I had this photo in my stash waiting to be scrapped, yes scones. It was a no brainer, lol.

Jam & Cream

I had a lot of fun with this one. The cafe we were at when I took this photo, is a vintage inspired little cafe, with lots of vintage items around it, and they do the best scones, it is what they are known for, the name of the cafe is Jam & Cream. 

Anyway, I decided to try to keep a vintage theme to the layout. I found in my vintage stash this page from an old magazine, with the words "made from wheat", and it was a perfect fit for the layout, along with the vintage lace and crochet doily. 

I was then able to embellish it perfectly with my D-lish Scraps products.

With this first cluster, I have used a paper doily, cut in half and tucked behind the photo. I have added flowers and leaves from the Love like this just add paper kit. To finish, I used Creative Cuts leaves, flair button and ombre wordfetti strip of words. 

With the second cluster, I repeated the Ombre wordfetti, coloured paper doily half, Creative Cuts leaves, flowers and leaves from just add paper kit. I also added a Green Tara jasmine flower.

I love the overall effect of this layout. 

D-lish Scraps July DT share 1 - You and Me

Hi everyone, I am back with my first July share, and this one I have based on this months inspiration board. Here is a reminder of the inspiration board:

I loved the monochromatic touch to this moodboard, and also the touches of luxury with the silver glitter colour and the crystal earrings. 

I was inspired to create this layout, using a photo from a nieces wedding, you can't get much more luxurious than with a wedding. 

You and Me

I started by using some transparent texture paste, to which I sprinkled some glitter over whilst it was wet. 

I embellished the layout by adding a 6 inch white paper doily, rose creative cuts which I coloured silver, carnations and sequins.

The second cluster shows coloured paper doily, flair button, magnolia flower, and heart wood veneer.

I have also included a sequin bow. 

I think this layout really does have a touch of luxury about it, glitter and sequins certainly assist that.

Until next time, happy scrapping.

D-lish Scraps June share #3 - Pyrenees

Hi everyone, this is my last share for June, and isn't it scary that's half of the year gone.

I was quite excited to do this layout, another page for my album from my France trip 5 years ago.

We didn't get to visit the Pyrenees Alps, but looking from a distance, I so do want to go there.

So I created the background with stencil, texture paste and stamping, a spray of blue, my favourite way to create backgrounds. 

Embellishing this layout was fun, using punchinella, bitty blooms, and Kinder Kreations chipboard chevrons from the together pack. I also added Creative Cuts pie charts. The main feature is Pip berry stems which I have used to frame the photo.

The next cluster features carnations, and a wild rose. 

The last cluster has a flair button and kraft journal it's.

One day I will get my France album finished, lol.

Until then, happy scrapping.
