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. 

Adorable - D-lish Scraps August DT share 1

Hi everyone, it;s August already, and nearly the end of winter, yay, it's been so cold. I guess when it is horrible weather, it gives us time to scrap away and not be worried about missing the sunshine.
So anyway, today I present my first August share, this one is insipired by the August inspiration board:

How pretty is this? It having the sweet theme to it, I wanted to use a sweet photo, so I did this one of a friends grand-daughter, she is so sweet in this photo. 

Adorable

Wow I did pull out some old papers for this, remember those die cut scalloped pages - yes, that is what that is behind the photo, but it worked so well. Anyway, I think I have brought it back to the modern day with all the D-lish Scraps goodies. I also stenciled the background paper, with some texture paste and added some colour to the stenciled hearts. 

In my first cluster, I have used Memory Maze chipboard word title, white paper doily, Creative Cuts heart, Green Tara Jasmine flower, Pastel petals, wood veneer leaves, and enamel dot.

The second cluster features a cornflower, wood veneer leaf, flair button, sequin bow, pastel petals, ombre wordfetti and enamel dot.

The last cluster, features a Creative Cuts large heart behind the photo, and a bitty bag.

I hope you can find some time to have a go at the inspiration board, I am sure you will enjoy it.

D-lish Scraps July DT share 1 - You and Me

Hi everyone, I am back with my first July share, and this one I have based on this months inspiration board. Here is a reminder of the inspiration board:

I loved the monochromatic touch to this moodboard, and also the touches of luxury with the silver glitter colour and the crystal earrings. 

I was inspired to create this layout, using a photo from a nieces wedding, you can't get much more luxurious than with a wedding. 

You and Me

I started by using some transparent texture paste, to which I sprinkled some glitter over whilst it was wet. 

I embellished the layout by adding a 6 inch white paper doily, rose creative cuts which I coloured silver, carnations and sequins.

The second cluster shows coloured paper doily, flair button, magnolia flower, and heart wood veneer.

I have also included a sequin bow. 

I think this layout really does have a touch of luxury about it, glitter and sequins certainly assist that.

Until next time, happy scrapping.

D-lish Scraps DT share - Cherish Family

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

This photo was taken on my Mother in laws 89th birthday. It is a lovely photo

of her surrounded by her grandchildren, so I wanted to scrap it for her. 

I chose to pull the purple out of the photo, and I really struggle with purple.

However, it was really the right choice for this layout.

Teaming the purple with silver worked really well. So I did a bit of mixed media

stenciling with some silver texture paste and picked out papers that would compliment this.

I embellished the layout using some punchinella, small bits of it around the page. I have also used 

a flair button, and sequin bow. 

My title was made using this Memory Maze chipboard mini word.

I am pleased that the simplicity of this layout, really makes the photo centre stage, but the pop of purple really lifts it.

Until next time, have a good day and happy scrapping. Sandra.

Love - D-lish Scraps DT Inspiration Board share

Hi Everyone, I am back with my first share as DT for D-lish Scraps.

I was on the team 18 months ago, so am looking forward to sharing

again over the next 6 month term. 

For my first share, I have this layout, created to team with the April inspiration board. 

The lovely photo is of my niece and her new baby, and such a pretty photo 

needed a pretty layout to enhance it.

I loved how the background paper went with the background of the photo. In my stash I had the -complimentary peach paper and stickers. I stamped and then die cut some flowers, to add some depth to the layout. To embellish the layout, I used the paper lace doilies and built on these. The gorgeous Magnolia and Cabbage roses were the perfect colours and flowers for the layout. I then added a lace butterfly, resin flowers and stranded sequins, which I pulled off the strand. 

I then added the ombre wordfetti Journal It's to add some little word statements. 

The final touch was the peach sequin bow,  a lovely colour. 

I really love this inspiration board, so I hope my creation has been inspiring to you, to have a go. 

Until next time, have a good day and happy scrapping. Sandra
