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.

Kraft Plus August DT share

This is my second share as a design team member for Kraft Plus, one of my favourite challenge sites. Here is the new challenge:

This was a fabulous challenge, as I got so creative with the background. I was so inspired by these photos taken in Singapore, and I really wanted to tell the story of these stairs, a tribute to some of our service men from WW2. 

I started with a brick stencil, and texture paste, and then started to add the colour, and sprays to look like mould and discolouration seen in the photos on the bricks. Being that these steps are in the Singapore Botanical Gardens, the addition of the flowers was enough to finish this layout. 

Defiance

Scrap the Boys August DT share

Wow it's time for the new August challenge at Scrap the Boys. I think you will like this one:

Our boys can be a bit wild at times that is for sure, so this one should be a fun one. This month we are teaming with Created by Gwen, who has supplied the team with die cuts for our layouts. Take a look around her gorgeous shop, there is lots to be inspired by.

I have used this fun photo of my nephews playing wild with their Dad, they had a fun time. The die cuts worked so well, I really love how wild this layout has turned out.

Scrap the Girls August DT share

Wow, it's August - yay only one more month of horrible winter to go. It is so cold and miserable here, the only thing one can do is to scrap. So here is the new challenge at Scrap the Girls:

I found this challenge a real challenge at first, and I had a bit of a struggle needing to redesign my ideas completely. Anyway, I eventually came up with this little layout, which I was happy with in the end. In the end I was inspired by the colour, and the stripes on the zebra. 

This month, Scrap the Girls is teaming with Charms Creations, with these wonderful charms inspired by the moodboard. They matched perfectly, I love them. so be sure to take a look and see what you can find in the shop.
