D-Lish Scraps August 2016 Moodboard

Hello everyone,

It's been a little while since my last post as I haven't been able to create time for Scrapping this month.
I did find time to create with the D-Lish Scraps August 2016 MoodBoard as seen below:

I loved the colours and knew straight away what memory I needed to capture using this Moodboard.

So with the D-Lish Scraps Just Add Paper Kit for August also called Geometric Crush I set to work. 

This is what I created:

The time has come for me to do my parental duty and teach my son how to drive on our Australian roads. For the both of us, this is an EPIC moment - he passed his Learners Permit test and is now licenced to learn!

D-Lish Scraps Just Add Paper Kit for August was used with some Colour Blast Texture Paste in Sunshine and Just Blue through Scrapmatts and Kaisercraft Stencils. I also added a Charms Creations Banner. 

Thanks for stopping by.

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.

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.

Scrap the Boys June 2016

The mood board provided this month by the team at Scrap the Boys was an excellent challenge for me. I had a new photo of Mr 17 as a "Wanted" thief just sitting there waiting for such challenge.
Here is the Scrap the Boys mood board for June.

I found the Boots and Tepee/Camping ideas lead me to the idea of rough and ruggared and I felt it matched the photo of Mr E and his Wanted Poster face. The Grey tones matched well with the photo also as they weren't to over bearing.

Card stock and papers were from a couple of different Amy Tan collections, while the Black Doiley, Photo Tab, Hello Tag, Twine, Heart Brad and Journal Spot were from my stash of yummy Dlish Scraps products. More delicious Charms Creations lept onto my page as well in the form of a Super star and a new Dark Cloud. I had some old clear stamps that included some Horse Shoes, Wanted and if you look really close, a cowboy hat stamped above the WANTED words.

Thanks for taking the time to drop by my blog to view my entry into Scrap the Boys June 2016 Challenge.

123 Challenge June 2016

Hello All,

The Challenge over at the 123 Challenge Blog this month was to Use the Colour - Lilac, the Word  -Drama and the Technique - Doodling.

I knew I could handle the first two fairly well and that I had the perfect photo for my layout but Doodling on my layouts is another matter entirely. 

I had this lovely piece of Lilac paper (by Nicole, no other company or branding on the collection) sitting in my stash of pretty girl papers for awhile now just waiting to be used, it wasn't something that could be chopped up as it really wouldn't do the piece justice. So with this paper and the photo, I set about creating my page.

Some time ago Jules Gems on FaceBook was selling "Jules Bits Kits" of mixed embellishments in monotone colours and I managed to grab a few in different colours to work with. I used my Lilac/Purple kit here and added 2 Dlish Scraps Flairs coupled with a Lilac shipping tag from my older stash. Furthermore I still managed to sneak a Charms Creations Mini Star on my page who are sponsoring this month's challenge prize.

The hardest part of my layout was adding some doodling to my page, I feel that I'm scribbling on the page and not actually adding to the layout but I will hopefully find a happy medium one day regarding my doodling attempts. 

Miss 7 was having a grumpy morning while we were on holidays 2 years ago and wasn't happy that the wonderful Mr Twister - balloon maker extraordinaire, had made her a unicorn instead of a giraffe.

My words to her, as I popped the camera to my face were "Beware the Drama Llama" in hope of getting her to smile..... 

(We spent the rest of the day just relaxing in our cabin in the air-con watching movies. Sometimes we all need a rest while on holidays.)
