Dlish Scraps July 2016 Moodboard

I found time this month to join in with Dlish Scraps's Moodboard Rustic Charm.

This month's moodboard has lovely soft colours and a gentle feel about it and I felt that the photo of my children in a loving pose was the one for this.

I love stalking my mailman after the 1st of the month to see when my Dlish Scraps Just Add Paper pack arrives, my postie is getting good at seeing my car in the driveway and tooting his little horn to say he has my package with him as he goes past across the road. I am so lucky to have such an awesome postie!

So I did utilise some of this months Rustic Charm Just Add Paper Kit in my layout, I spent a bit of time playing with the Wooden Veneer Heart, Lace Flower, Tassel and Birds trying to find a satisfying grouping. It all came together when I added the Memories Flair to the cluster. I added a gold Itty Bitty Bag and a Project Life card that I cut to size and arranged another cluster with one of the J.A.P. resin flowers and some lovely Charms Creations Embellishments - A Lovely Cream Heavenly Heart and some Fab Flowers. The page needed some defining so I edged it with the washi taped Supplied in the Rustic Charm Just Add Paper kit.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Scrap the Girls July 2016

For the month of July Scrap the Girls gave us a wonderful sketch to help us get creative.

I thought I'd try something outside my comfort zone and find a colour I don't use very often to incorporate into my layout. 

Here's my page:

In the end I think the green that I chose, made my page pop just enough to catch your attention but didn't overwhelm my photo. I find it had to use a lot of green, yellow and orange but I am trying to over come that issue.

My page was created with Kaisercraft card stock, Flutterby Designs Wood Veneer Circles, Dlish Scraps Journaling Card, Wood Veneer Stars and a Heidi Swapp paper. I also added some washi tape from my rather large collection. 

Please come by again soon to have a look at my pages, thanks for stopping by.

More Than Words July 2016

The team at More Than Words wanted us to kick start our pages with a sketch and use the word 'Smile'

I loved this sketch as it left plenty of room for your own interpretation as you can see by my page below.

I had this random left over photo of my children from a few Christmases ago. 

On my page I have used some gorgeous Charms Creations - a Mini Runner and a Red Hessian Heart. From my never ending supply of D'lish Scraps Doilies, a Lace Doily, an Itty Bitty Gold Bag which I found a tag to pop inside, a Wild Rose in Red and Tangelo Wax Flowers. I added some gold thread for texture and splatters of Cherry Pie Dylusions, American Thickers for the title and a Gold Sharpie for the boarder. 

I love that I have now scrapped this memory of my children and can compare this photo with the others I have taken every Christmas beside Santa's Mailbox in the City.

Thanks for coming by to see my page.

Scrapping Outback July 2016

It's been awhile since I have been able to scrap so I really enjoyed getting back into it with Scrapping Outback's White with a Twist Challenge this month.
I love these different colour combinations that stretch my creative reach.
 Here is their challenge for July

We were asked to use Lilac, Light Blue and a Touch of Grey with White and not to forget to use some Chipboard on our layouts. 

On this layout I used a Kaszazz chipboard word 'Love', Kaisercraft card stock, D'lish Scraps Flair, Doily and Pearl Dots, Charms Creations Mini Runner and some old flowers from my stash.

Thank you for stopping by to look.
