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 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 wire, flower sequins, punchinella, flair button, pastel 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.
