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 December share 2 - Aperol Spritz

Hi everyone, I am back with my second share for December. 

This layout is one I have created using one of the cybercrop challenges over at the Scrap Suite, that were posted last week. Take a look, there are some awesome challenges. My layout is inspired by the challenge set by Amanda Hartmann, a travel page.

Aperol Spritz

My layout is from my recent holiday to Italy, where I had many experiences, one of which was discovering the Aperol Spritz, oh my, so refreshing on a hot day.

Anyway, on my layout, I used a stencil from the Love Like This JAP kit, in spots around the edge of the page, with some texture paste. 

In my first cluster, I have used a bitty bag, colour me cuts wildflowers, pastel petals and bow from a past kit bits.

The second cluster features the colour me cuts, pastel petals, as well as flair button, punchinella, enamel dots, and Journal Its from Love Like This JAP kit.

I keep finding bits in my left over JAP kits that suit all sorts of pages, lol. 

D-lish Scraps December DT share 1 - Cheers to Us

Hi everyone, can you believe it is December? I really can't, I really need another month up my sleeve.

My first share for December is one inspired by the December Inspiration Board, a nice summery board, sure to get you searching for those summer pictures from last year.

My photo is from last December, a rare moment to catch up with my sister, as we live in different states, and this was her birthday, and she was in my home city. 

Cheers to Us

I quite liked the vintage feel to the inspiration board, and was inspired by the flower image. So I chose a floral paper, and then went from there. 

In my first cluster I have used a Green Tara Azalea, Colour me cuts flowers, which I coloured using gelatos, flair, Little Birdie pearl petites marshmallow flowers, forget me nots, faceted enamel dots. 

I also added a white paper doily and a Green Tara Jasmine flower.

Kraft Plus December challenge DT share

Hi everyone, can you believe it is December? I truly can't. This year I was waiting all year to go to Italy, that came and went, and now it's nearly Christmas. 

Anyway, time marches on and we bring you another challenge at Kraft Plus.

I don't often do stitching on my pages, it is a laziness thing, yet I love the effects, it adds such a great dimension to a layout. So I added stitching to my layout, and I loved it.

Frankie

Frankie is a little deaf French Bulldog pup, who currently lives with us. He has fit into the family well, and is best friends with my sons dog, Dusty. They have so much fun together. 

Anyway, about my layout. I cut some squares of patterned papers, layed them out in a pattern, then stitched them on, creating a frame around the photo and page. I also stitched on the Charms Creations heart and XO, and the other little quote tag. 

I love how this layout turned out. 

I hope we get to see your layouts for this challenge.

Scrap the Boys December challenge DT share

Hi everyone it is December, it is nearly the end of the year, and Christmas. Wow, how did that happen.

So for December at Scrap the Boys  we are scrapping Christmas and our boys, how cute is that?

Here is the challenge: 

 

So it really is open for interpretation, it is such a fun challenge. Here is my layout: 

They are nice

I had a lot of fun with this layout, I cut some baubles from a page that was covered with baubles and these worked really well for my layout. I added a die cut tree and then a Charms Creations super star on top of the tree. Love it. A few splatters of paint around the page finished it off. 

I hope we get to see your creations over on the blog. 

Scrap the Girls December challenge DT share

Hi everyone, well that's it, it's December, not long till Christmas and the end of the year.

This month at Scrap the Girls we have a very cute challenge for you to play with:

Be inspired by one of the dresses, or maybe you could be inspired by more.

I chose the first black dress with the baubles to inspire me, and created this layout:

Merry Christmas

The colours in our dresses matched this pattern well, and I used a dark background to create on. I then made my own baubles to add to the layout and surrounded the page with them. 

This month the sponsor is Cut to You by Gwen Wruck. She has supplied the DT with awesome products to work with, and I chose one of the Christmas trees and the Merry Christmas title. They worked a treat on my layout. 

I also included a cute Christmas tree from Charms Creations.

I hope we see your pages for the December challenge.
