D-lish Scraps DT share 3 November - Dream

Hi everyone, well it's almost December, how the year has flown.
So I share with you today my last November layout. 
Dream
I started by stenciling with gelatos onto the background, I wanted to create something soft to match the photo and the embellishments. 
For this layout, I used the Just Add Paper kits bundle deal - Spring fling, which was perfect for the photo.
In this first cluster, you can see from the Just Add Paper kit bundle deal, I have used a tag, and banner, with the title dream just poking into the photo. I also added Little Birdie pearl petites blush flower and lace butterfly, which I have cut in half.
This cluster photo gives a full view of the title, plus some birds, and a ring of flowers, plus flair from the Spring Fling bundle deal.
This last cluster photo, shows that I have also now added a white paper doily and cabachons from Flights of Fantasy Just Add Paper kit.
Such lovely embellishments that really enhance sweet baby photos.

D-lish Scraps DT share 2 - cybercrop challenge

Hi everyone, I am popping in with my layout for the November D-lish Scraps cybercrop
For this challenge, I focused on using metallics, not something I do much, but for this layout it worked really well, with a lot of different metallics.
Silver and Sparkle
I started by using some metallic texture paste through a stencil on the background. I then gathered as many metallic embellishments as I could, and used what worked best. 
This first cluster features a white paper doily, sequin bow, coloured wireflower sequinspunchinellaflair buttonpastel petals, and a cornflower


Here is another view of the cluster, showing some of my title, which I found some glitter alpha stickers, to add to the sparkle and shine. 
So go discover your stash, see what shiny metallics you have, and have some fun.

Adore - D-lish Scraps November DT share 1

Hi everyone, well it is November already, how the year has flown. I have also just returned from a holiday to Italy, which was a great experience. Back to reality for me now though, and no more holidays for quite some time. 
Anyway, my first share for this month, is based on this months inspiration board - Arabian Nights. I fell in love with this when I saw it, so had to have a go. I normally do not use any shade of purple in my creations, but this one was very appealing. 
Adore
I loved the sketch in this inspiration board too, it worked well for the layout. 
I love how bits and pieces from the JAP kits and bits are often able to be used on different layouts, co-coordinating so well, even if they are from different kits.

Scrap the Boys November

Wow, it's November already, so that means there is a new challenge up for Scrap the Boys, here is the challenge:
Guess what, you get to include yourself in this layout, or another person who loves a boy. How lovely a challenge is this?
I chose this photo of myself and my husband, I love the relaxed feel of it, in amongst the autumn leaves. So I tried to recreate the feel of the colours and leaves in my layout. 
Love You
I had this gorgeous cut file from Cut to You by Gwen Wruck, a previous sponsore. I coloured this cut file with distress oxides. I added a whole load of autumn coloured flowers and a Charms Creations heavenly heart
I hope we get to see your creation for this challenge. 



Kraft Plus November challenge

Hi, for November at Kraft plus, we have a great challenge for you, with mosaics:
Look around, and you will see mosaic designs in many places. Take it as you see it, many different options for this challenge. 
I chose a simple mosaic design of diamond tiles. I used these photos from a chateau in France, as inspiration for my layout, the diamond tiles on the floor of this building. I could have even used the mosaic design of the gardens, at this place, so much of a mosaic design that they are. 
I stencilled a design with a diamond stencil, added some diamond shaped chipboard pieces and finished it with a diamond shape from Charms Creations
Opulence

I hope we get to see what you do with this challenge. 

Scrap the Girls November

Hey friends, it is November, already! It is astonishing how time flies. Anyway, the new challenge at Scrap the Girls has this interesting moodboard to use:
I took inspiration from the blue in Cinderella's dress, the red roses and the cards in the hat. I had this lovely photo of my daughter to use. 
I created a stamped and textured background for the layout, and then embellished it simply. I have a miniature pack of playing cards, not sure where they came from, but I tucked one in amongst the emellishments. I added some little red roses, added some stamped feathers and a little wood veneer frame. 
A beautiful life
