LILAC HAZE

This months Inspiration Board  has been released at D-lish Scraps

and what a beautiful board it is!!

Introducing....LILAC HAZE

I just adore this colour combination I was rather excited when I saw it.

 

 This is my take on the board

I have once again flipped the sketch and taken inspiration from the crochet and the flowers. I have also added some black splashes inspired by the chandelier.

 

 

All the embellishments are available at the D-lish Scraps store HERE.

Once again this month there will be a 'Just add paper' kit which will be available to purchase later today

 Don't forget to link up your layouts by the end of the month HERE

D-lish Scraps Summer Creative team

I can finally share that I have been selected to be part of the D-lish Scraps

Summer Creative Team.

My first ever time on a team!! Yay!!

The December inspiration board is FANTASTIC!!

The minute I saw this board I knew what photo I was going to use.

 

Gold, Cream, White with some glittery sparkle.

Why not give it a go.....You can interpret the Inspiration Board anyway you like.

Use the sketch or don't use the sketch it is totally up to you!

 

 

Here is my take on the Inspiration Board.

I took my inspiration from the sketch-fliping it to the right. I also took inspiration from the butterfly, flowers and doily under the cupcake

 

So pop over to D-lish Scraps to see who else has made the Summer Creative Team. Some new faces, some returning members. Lots of inspiration to be had.Everyone has done a great job interpreting the board.

 Update:The 'JUST ADD PAPER' kit 'All that glitters' which co-ordinates beautifully with this months board is now available Here

Kind Soul

A layout inspired by Nadia Cannizzo. I love Nadia's work and after watching her tutorials on

You Tube I thought I would give it a go!

Here is what I started with

 

I kept adding layers of  mists, texture paste and gesso until I was happy

with the background.

I then added some strips of patterned paper and tags I also tore up a paper doily and added some pieces around the edges of where my photo would sit.

Then added clusters of flowers and some journalling also more mist, texture paste and gesso.

 

I used some Scrappers Garden flowers, D-lish scraps flowers, the metal flourish is from Art Stamps Australia and Daisy D's tags

White with 1 ~ Blueberry

White with 1 November Challenge was to use the colour Blueberry and to double your chancesyou could also use the sketch from Creative Scrappers.

 

 

This is my take of the challenge...

Scrap around the world

I gave the Scrap around the world challenge set by Leonie Neal-Dawson a go. I Started with the sketch but soon changed my mind and used only the mood board.

 

 

This is my take of the Mood board.....I used the tree and the quote as my inspiration

 

 

You can't really tell from the photo but the background is a rainbow I used watered down paint in spray bottles I then muted the colours with gesso

Infectious smile

Yay I got to scrapbook this week! I have a heap of new photo's to scrapbook and was itching to use. Last month I dragged the kids to the park to take a few photo's, sometimes they are willing to co-operate other time not so co-operative but I did manage to get some nice photo's

 (I did let them have a play on the equipment once we were done).

My little boys personality really shines through in this photo, he has an infectious smile, personality and is very cheeky he has also started walking this past week.

 

 

I used washi tape, Freckled Fawn wood chips-frames and small wooden stars all from D-lish scraps .

The big felt star is from Charms Creations.

 

Charms Creations are also running an auction on the Facebook  page to raise money for Breast Cancer research. I have donated a collection of my Satin flowers for this great cause.

 

Happy crafting
