D-lish Scraps DT share 2 - September - All you need is love and a dog

Hi everyone, I am back with my second share for September. This layout is my challenge layout for the cybercrop at  The Scrap Suite. I hope you have managed to take a look at the challenges.
So my challenge is to scrap a family pet. This puppy in the layout is my sons dog, Dusty, who we just adore so much. He has such a beautiful nature and a fun personality, and is extremely clever and handsome - yes I do love him, lol.
Anyway, these photos are from his first birthday, I just had to cook him a cake - carrot and peanut butter, he loved it.

All you need is love and a dog

It's a pretty busy layout, but it suited the photos well, I think. 

This first cluster features a 5 x 7 paper bag to mat the photos, Creative Cuts die cuts, paint chips tab word, JAP kit bits, wood veneer star.

The second cluster features punchinella, JAP past kit bit wood veneer star, flair button, carnation, and enamel dots.

D-lish Scraps May share 2

Hi everyone, today I am sharing with you the layout I have created for the May cybercrop. Go to the The Scrap Suite to see the challenges, and upload your entries.

So the challenge I set is to use the word together and tags. 

This very recent family photo taken at my father's 80th birthday seemed perfect to use for this layout. 

I started with 2 different papers, tearing one in half. I layered some co-ordinating tags behind the photo. A touch of texture paste added a bit more interest to the layout. 

So to embellish, I added a lace doily behind the photo. In my cluster I have used a wild rose, carnations, rosebuds, cabbage rose, as well as some leaves.

The title is a Kinder Kreations chipboard word.

There is plenty of time for you to have a go at the challenge, so I would love to see what you create. 

Until then, happy scrapping.

D-lish Scraps November-December cybercrop - challenge1 by Amanda Hartmann

This month, the D-lish Scraps cybercrop is on in the Scrap Suite found on facebook.

Amanda Hartmann has set challenge #1, which I had a go at:

This is a cool challenge, we often use geometric shapes, but don't deliberately think about it. 

Anyway, I used this photo from the E2C retreat I attended back in March for this challenge. The theme for the retreat was gold, with triangles, so this challenge was perfect for my photo. 

On my layout, I have used a sequin bow, Monochrome journaling pack tags, flair button, wood veneer, Freckled Fawn arrow paper clip, printed wooden button, and Pinkfresh Studio wooden beads.

I've been wanting to scrap this photo for a while, so this challenge was perfect. The geometric shapes I have used are triangles, circles, diamonds and rectangles.

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

D-lish Scraps March cybercrop challenge by Katie Howard

This challenge was another of the layouts that I managed to scrap at the E2C retreat, a challenge for the D-lish Scraps cybercrop found in the Scrap Suite on Facebook.

This was a fun challenge, as it gave restrictions. Now ordinarily I would have chosen flowers to embellish with, but I gave myself the challenge not to, and chose the flair. I also chose wire, squins and journal spots. 

The photos are of my sister and her kids from Mothers day last year. 

My embellishments include wire, flair button, wood veneer, and journal spots from the D-lish Scraps online shop. I have also included a Charms Creations heart embellishment. 

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

D-lish Scraps February Cybercrop challenge by Cindy

This is the last of the challenges that I had a go at for the D-lish Scraps February Cybercrop, a challenge set by the talented Cindy Porter. This was Cindy's challenge:

For this challenge, I decided to use a photo from my recent hot air balloon ride with daughter Melanie, that we did on Australia Day. It was an awesome experience, riding high above the beautiful Yarra Valley. 

I die cut my title and the balloons from some burlap, using sizzix alpha dies and my favourite things balloon die and stamp set. That added my texture, along with the texture paste in the background. The metal embellishments were the Tim Holtz disc and the metal flowers. D-lish Scraps products used were the button flair (not the balloon one), journaling tag and the flowers, all found in store. 

With the background I used a Crafters Workshop template, and tried to emulate the look of the balloon, not sure it worked as I had it in mind, but it looks kind of funky anyway. 

Thanks for looking, and any comments you may leave. 

Experience

D-lish Scraps February cybercrop challenge by Lynn

The challenge designed by Lynn Good at the February D-lish Scraps challenge, is a sketch challenge:

This is a lovely sketch, and I really enjoyed using it. I chose this photo of my aunt and uncle's wedding photo, from 60 years ago (they have just celebrated their anniversary). They are very special people, whom are dearly loved. My mum was a bridesmaid (on the left side of the photo). 

I started by using texture paste and a stencil, and then adding glitter to the wet texture paste. I decided that instead of just using the doily shape, I would add a diecut doily shape over the silver doily, which softened the starkness of the silver. It is a divine Couture Creations die, I think this might become a fave. I then went crazy adding lots of gorgeous flowers from D-lish Scraps. 

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

D-lsh Scraps February Cybercrop challenge by Kerry

The challenge designed by Kerry Stuchberry was fun, fun, fun all the way. Tie dying on paper, who would have thunk it?

Well I knew exactly which photo I needed to use for this layout. I had this photo of some of our friends, taken at my 50th birthday party from nearly a year ago already (where did that year go?) This pic has been sitting in my stash waiting for the right challenge, yay, it appeared. I found some old yoyo flowers to use with the gorgeous after 5's and tutu flowers, found in store at D-lish Scraps. 

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

D-lish Scraps February Cybercrop Challenge by Ros

The cybercrop is on again, but this month, there is a month to upload the challenges into the scrap suite on D-lish Scraps facebook page.
This challenge designed by Ros Madley, was lovely considering it was Valentines Day.

I had this photo of my son Kieran and his girlfriend Ally, which was taken the night of Kieran's 21st birthday party. They are a couple of loved up kids, young love, ain't it a sweet thing. I thought this photo worked really well for the challenge. I chose the Kaisercraft kraft range worked well for this layout, along with lots of flowers from D-lish Scraps, and some Prima chipboard embellishments. I also gave the gold mica flakes a bit of a go, in different sections of the layout.
Thanks for looking at my layout, and any comments you may leave.

D-lish Scraps January Cybercrop - Wendy's challenge

This is the second of the challenges that I did do from the D-lish Scraps cybercrop that I managed to do this weekend -the sketch challenge by Wendy.

The photo I have used is of a friends daughter - Maddy, a few years ago, when she was just a little one, but a real cutie (she still is). I really wanted to make a soft layout, and the lovely pastels helped me create this layout. It really was just a little bit of fun working on this one. I have used another one of the lovely handmade embellishments made by Charms Creations, but also some of the loveliness to be found at D-lish Scraps - very cute flairs, crochet flowers, bows, sequins, journaling tabs. 

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

D-lish Scraps January Cybercrop - Katie's challenge

Cybercropping is back for 2015 at D-lish Scraps, and even though I have only managed 2 of the 5 challenges, they are still pretty awesome challenges.
This one was designed by Katie Howard, which was to use triadic colours - silly me, thought this meant 3 colours, but it means 3 colours that are complementary to each other on the colour wheel. So after I perused the colour wheels, I decided the primary colours were what I was going to work with, and these photos (small one replicated from large one), of nephews Patrick and Jamieson worked beautifully. Boy layouts are not always easy to do, but I found with the use of the primary colours, I was able to find embellishments that worked, including the star by Charms Creations, and the little alien monster from Scrap FX, worked a treat.
I had a lot of fun with this one, and let the mediums work for me - including the splats.
Thanks for looking at my layout, and any comments you may leave.

Beware of little monsters

D-lish Scraps November Cybercrop challenge 4

The 3rd of the challenges that I managed to get done for this cybercrop was the colour challenge by Anna.



This was another fun challenge, nice to experiment with colours I would not ordinarily work with. I chose a photo of our friends daughter Charlie, that was bright and cheery, and it worked well with these colours. For the black of the background, I stencilled using rub on pastels and then some old rubons.

The D-lish Scraps products used were journal its, and the d-lish enamel dots.

Thanks for looking at my layout.

D-lish Scraps November Cybercrop Challenge 3

The next challenge I was able to get done for the D-lish Scraps November Cybercrop was the challenge set by Wendy, which was to include something Big on the layout.



I didn't have a big photo as was the example, so thought outside the square a little, and used a biggish title with the word BIG in a biggish font - lol. The photo used is of my nephew Jareth, on his dad's big bike, being a typical little boy, wanting to do what dad does.

The D-lish Scraps products used were the play tag, wood veneer, flair button and journaling tag.

Another fun challenge to do.

Thanks for looking at my layout.

D-lish Scraps November cybercrop Challenge 1

The D-lish Scraps cybercrop for November was held on the weekend 14th- 16th. I unfortunatetly didn't get to do as many challenges as I would have hoped to, as my son had his 21st birthday party last weekend. I did get 3 out of 5 challenges done, and the first was the sketch challenge set by Alz. I am finally getting to upload these here now.

For my layout I chose a photo of my son's girlfriend Alex, who was dressed in 60's costume for my 1960's style birthday party earlier in the year. I've been wanting to scrap this photo for a while, and this was the perfect challenge for it.

Amongst the D-lish Scraps produc ts used, were a flair button, paper flowers and a journal it's tab.

Thanks for the challenge Alz, it was fun.

D-lish Scraps October cybercrop - queens challenge

The 5th challenge at the D-lish Scraps cybercrop was the queens challenge by Renee Iverson, her prize for being nominated queen of the September cybercrop (my privelege for the August cybercrop).

Renee's challenge was to feature washi tape - this should have been really easy, but of course, I fussed over this one as well - not sure why I can't just be happy with where I lay things first up - lol.

Anyway, I featured washi tape in my die cut title and balloons and used washi tape in the background.

Another layout of my very cute nephew Lachlan - gotta love this little guy.

D-lish Scraps products used were the wordfetti, monochomatic journaling tags, and button flair.

Thanks for looking at my layout.

Peek-a-boo

D-lish Scraps cybercrop challenge 4

The 4th challenge at the October D-lish Scraps cybercrop was to use purple - arrrgggggghhhhhhh! This is probably the one colour I dislike working with the most, apart from neon, lol. So, I sat down, set to, and battled that demon that is called purple, and I won the victory - yay! I am really pleased with how this layout turned out, will think differently about purple now.

Photo of my daughter and a dear friend of mine, who used to be my daughters family day carer.

D-lish Scraps products used - paper flowers and button flair, plus monochromatic journaling tag.

Thanks for looking at my layout.

D-lish Scraps October Cybercrop challenge 3

Challenge 3 at the D-lish Scraps cybercrop for October was a background challenge - create your own - well that's something I've been doing a bit of lately - should have been easy - right?????????? Wrong!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my, how this frustrated me to tears, I nearly threw it in the bin. But I didn't, I set it to the side and started on something different - so glad I did because when I came back to it, I really loved how it was looking - lol. A lesson for all of us I think.

I had this new Crafters workshop template, so had to use it, I coloured my texture paste, sprayed the background and also stamped. I also used some really nice paper flowers from D-lish Scraps, and flair button.

Photo is of my cute little nephew and Godson Lachlan, who I don't get to see much as we live so far apart.

Thanks for looking at my layout. 

Love You



D-lish Scraps October Cybercrop challenge 2

The second challenge at the D-lish Scraps cybercrop was to use embossing on your layout, challenge set by Cindy.

I don't do a lot of embossing usually, but would like to incorporate it more in my layouts, so this was nice to do. I didn't struggle with this per se, but struggled that embossing my layout was proving a little basic, until my friend Alz suggested something else. I have not embossed using ordinary ink and embossing powder before, have always used versa ink pad for the embossing powder to adhere to the paper. This time I used ordinary ink with the music stamp, and fine embossing powder which was heat embossed, to give this lovely delicate touch to my layout. I also used some embossed cardstock behind my photo.

Photo of my husband's niece and her father, the photo says it all about their relationship.

Thanks for looking at my layout.

D-lish Scraps October Cybercrop Challenge 1

Last weekend was another cybercrop held by Amanda at D-lish Scraps, with 4 challenges by the design team, and 1 by queen of the last cybercrop Renee Iveson.

The first challenge was a doozy, to use the attached sketch:



Now I'm not great at maths at the best of times, but dividing up my pie to make equal pieces of paper was far more difficult than I anticipated. However, this challenge did what it was meant, challenged me, thanks Ros, and I really enjoyed it in the end, and pleased with my layout. A photo of myself, my husband and in laws taken at a family wedding. I also managed to use a few D-lish Scraps products on my layout, including the gorgeous after 5's black flower, small paper flowers, journal its, wood veneer heart, and gorgeous sequin bow.

Thanks for looking at my layout.

D-lish Scraps September cybercrop queen of the crop challenge by ME!

At the D-lish Scraps August cybercrop, for all who completed all 4 layouts, there was the opportunity to be crowned queen of the crop. I was the lucky queen to be crowned, which meant winning a lovely prize of D-lish Scraps goodies, and getting to set a challenge at the September cybercrop. Wow, what an opportunity, and I had to think long and hard about this, many ideas going through my head.
Anyway eventually, I came up with the idea for my challenge to be based around photography - I mean isn't that what we are doing anyway, scrapbooking our photos? So guidelines for the challenge were to scrap a series of photos, a photo shoot, someone being photographed taking a photo or photo booth pics - really the ideas are endless. A camera embellishment needed to be included on the layout.
For this challenge, I decided to use a series of photos of a friends daughter, Charlie, posing with her hat, on a daddy and daughter date. She really looks like she is posing for a photo shoot in these photos.
The D-lish Scraps products used here are paper doily, sequins, wood veneers, resin shapes, sweet petites, violas and felt flowers.

Hat photo shoot

This is an example of my camera embellishment, for which I used a die cut vellum camera which I covered with embossing powder and heat set, then added a D-lish Scraps flair button to the centre.

Thanks for looking at my layout.
