Stuck?! Sketches DT share October 1st challenge

I have been selected as one of the new Design Team members for Stuck?! Sketches, and it is a very exciting thing for me. I love working with sketches, so when this opportunity came up, it was a huge thrill.

So the first sketch for October is this:

How awesome is this sketch? I love it. 

I chose a couple of photos of a friends daughter, when she was a baby, she is now 18. 

I kept this layout clean and simple, I wanted the sketch to shine, along with the cute photos. 

Some of the embellishments added to the layout include a Charms Creations silver glitter heavenly heart and flair and tabs from Studio fourteen 40. 

I hope you have a go at this sketch.

Scrapping Outback November challenge

This month at Scrapping Outback, the challenge is to be inspired by this image:

I admit it, I don't like purple, and I struggle with green, although that's getting better. So this was a challenge, but I have done this combination before, so I looked back to that for some inspiration and it worked. 

I scrapped this photo of friends daughters. I started with texture paste, it solves all issues. I scattered glitter over that. I then applied the green and purple by using gelatos. I layed some cotton under the photo and mat, and then added strips of patterned paper to mat my photo, good way to use scraps. I had this lovely die cut border strip, which I placed under the photo. My chipboard piece I think is a Scrap FX piece, the packaging was missing. I coloured this with Wink of Stella brush. I also had an Imaginarium Designs heart which I also used the Wink of Stella on. I finished it off with a Charms Creations heavenly heart, and scattered flowers. 

I am happy with the end result, even this is not my favourite colour combination.

Thanks for looking at my layout, and for any comments you may leave.

White with 1 March Challenge

The challenge at White with 1 for March is to use the colour Hemlock:

I don't ordinarily like scrapping with green, but have done a couple of layouts recently with green, so I gave this a go too, plus I have recently been on a scrapping retreat, so packed up a few challenges to do on the retreat. Nice colour of green this is, so I felt ok  with it.

I have scrapped a photo of friends daughters, who are very close in age, and in their relationship, this photo is a few years old now. 

I made up a mixture of irridescent gel medium with a gelato, and used this with a stencil to create the background and colour the white handmade flower. I found a few greens in my stash, some really old papers, but they worked. The white and green triangle of burlap is a leftover from a class I did at the retreat. I have included a Charms Creations heart, as well as embellishments from D-lish Scraps. 

Thanks for looking at my layout and any comments you may leave.

White with 1 September Challenge

This month the White with 1 September challenge is to use Marshmallow with white, pink marshmallow. Nice challenge, but getting the right shade of pink to obtain marshmallow is slightly tricky. I think I overdid it a little with my background colour, mind you I have made marshmallow that has been that colour, lol. The colour went well with my photo though.

The layout is of friends daughters, photo taken nearly 15 years ago now. The original photo was not great, so I've played a little with it as well, to make it a bit arty.

I teamed my layout with the D-lish Scraps new "after 5's" flowers, very very pretty flowers, which funnily enough sell out quickly.

Thanks for looking at my layout.
