Made to Scrap - the Aussie Way - new challenge group - DT share

Hi everyone, well we have a new challenge group starting today, called Made to Scrap - the Aussie Way. This is a facebook group, so follow the link to find the group.
The group is an amalgation of Show Us Your Stuff and Australian Top 50.
Our new group showcases Australian made scrapping products, and many small home businesses. So lets get behind this and support our Australian scrapbooking industry. All you have to do, is to us something that is an Australian product on your design.
So our first challenge is this:

This one is a nice simple challenge, just use sequins and stars. 

Here is my layout:

Beautiful You

I have used a lot of wonderful products from Cocoa Vanilla Studio, an Australian business owned by Zoe Pearn. She has some beautiful designs, that are very fresh and funky.

I have also used a Charms Creations heavenly heart, made by the ever talented Charmane Koch. 

I hope you join us in the challenge, but also join us in supporting our Australian businesses. 

D-lish Scraps DT share - Hmm, yum, dessert

Hi everyone, back again with the first of my shares for February.
This layout is my interpretation of one of the challenges from the January cybercrop, set by Amanda Hartmann, here is the challenge:

This is an awesome challenge, it really enables you to do whatever you want, as long as you follow the rule of 3's. 

I chose these photos of a friends daughter Abby, who at our Christmas get together, was really enjoying her food, especially her desert, lol. I managed to get a great timeline of photos of her eating. She is a bit of a character, with the best facial expressions. 

I used some of the lovely Cocoa Vanilla Studio papers and ephemera for this layout. I love that D-lish Scraps embellishments will work with anything you have in your stash. 

So the embellishments I chose to add to this layout include some bitty blooms, , sequin bow and flair button. 

Since I did this layout, Amanda has had a sale, and has a section in the shop, of clearance items. So some of the items that I have used on this layout, are found in this section. These include chiffon ribbon flowers, printed button bird, UITC wooden beads and sweetheart blooms (no longer available). So if you want a bargain, get to the clearance section. 

Hmmm, yum, dessert
