New Inspiration Board at D'Lish Scraps

First of all I would like to say thank you to Amanda for having me on for another three month stint at D'Lish with the creative team! This also means I have another sample for the new board.

This month the board is "All that Glitters", very pretty and so on trend right now!

So, for my page, I was inspired by the sketch, the iPhone case and the washi tape, and of course the gold! And here is what I came up with!

I used the following products from the D'Lish store:

Freckled Fawn woodchips - Birds (music notes in this pack too!)

Metal Photo Corners - gold (which I cut in half to sit flat on my page)

Foil Doiley - gold

Journal It's - spool top sentiments in kraft

Motex Writer and black tape

From the "Just Add Paper Kit" - flair, bow, flower, scallop glitter tape, glitter canvas tape (behind the chipboard star)

The background paper was just perfect to mimic the phone case, and the right colour too! (not quite gold but close enough!) Then splashes of gold and black around the place help to finish off. I also used my Wink of Stella gold pen to colour the music notes and the little birdie. So easy! So off you go, time to play with "all that glitters", head over to D'Lish for even more inspiration from the other creative team members!! I hope to be checking out your work very soon!

White With One December

Can you believe it is December already?! I am trying to shield myself from it, but I don't think it is working! Oh well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em I guess!

Good news for being a new month though! More scrappy challenges to do. WW1 this month is Banana, quite appropriate for summer in Oz! We were also lucky enough to have some "A Lil Something" flair to play with too. So here is my sample -

I had so much fun experimenting with this page! I laid down some paint and with a steady hand and a paintbrush full of white Mr Huey's I "wrote" the word family all over the background. Then to finish off I got a black pen and doodled! A few other bits and pieces and hey presto a completed page!

So, now it is your turn! Head over to WW1 to get even more inspiration and even some printable digi files to help you along!

New Inspiration Board at D'Lish Scraps!

Well the new month means a new inspiration board at D'Lish. If the last one was a bit full on for you I am sure you will love this one! This month the board is called - Out to Sea - and it looks like this:

Lots of interesting ideas there! Rope. knots, anchors, banners, word art, not to mention the classic red/navy/white colour scheme! Here is what I came up with:

I went with the nautical theme, but in a different way. We have a park nearby to us which has a big ship to play on, and I just so happened to have some photos of my Erin playing on said boat! Perfect starting point! I also loved the colours, and started with the sketch and went from there. Be sure to check out all the other great samples here to get even more ideas.

On my page I have used the following items from D'Lish:

Sequin Grab Bag

Chevron Paper Bags

Glitter Tape - red

Journal It - date

Large Anchor charm

Red/Blue dots washi tape

Red Monochrome Flair

Wooden Bingo Numbers

Make sure you go and check it out for yourselves!

White With 1 November is Blueberry!

Feeling in need of a scrappy challenge?! Check out WW1 this month for a double whammy challenge! This month we combined forces with Creative Scrappers and used a sketch from them to create our samples. If you use the sketch to do your WW1 page you can enter both challenges this month! How cool is that?! Oh and we also got to play with some cool bits and bobs from Charms Creations, very cool!

So here is the sketch:

The colour is Blueberry with your White, and here is my sample:

So what are you waiting for? Head on over now and check out all the other inspiration!

Scrap the Boys

Well, despite the madness I have managed to create another page for another challenge! Truthfully, I think being able to do this amongst the craziness helped to calm my mind! So, as you can probably guess by the post title, the challenge I completed was for Scrap the Boys. This month was a nice easy challenge too, just what the doctor ordered! The challenge was a colour challenge - Blue and Green - easy! So here is my result:

I have had fun playing with some new Dylusions mists, stamps, paint and creating subway art on my Silhouette! Quite pleased with the way that turned out!

That's it for now. Maybe, just maybe I will be able to get myself organised to finish off another challenge before the month is out! Will see what time I have after I upload and edit my wedding photos!

Thanks for stopping by.

Busy, busy, busy!

That is my life right now! Between school activities and Kindy photo shoots, not to mention getting my tax sorted my life is hectic to say the least! I have been doing my required scrapping, which will be shared at the beginning of next month, but I have also been feeling the need to do some other scrapping!

Well, I have managed to throw together an entry for the Scrap the Girls October challenge. The challenge this month was a puzzle with the following to be included:

Hexagon

Squiggle

Circle

Rectangle 

Strips

So here is my take:

My circles are the sequins, the amazing die cut and there are some stencil circles in texture paste on the background. The rectangle is the large rectangle behind the photo using the triangle patterned paper. The strips are the patterned paper strips behind the photo, the hexagons are stenciled in texture paste on the background (and not very obvious!) and last of all the squiggle is the border drawn around the photo. Phew, it was harder than I thought to include everything!

Just a quick page, and something to help me wind down during a busy time, and hopefully I may get time to do another before the month is out! Although finding time between weddings, kindy's and camping could be interesting!

If you do have time, check out the WW1 challenge for October - White with Watermelon or the great Neon Pop inspiration board over at D'Lish Scraps!

Thanks for stopping by!

Neon Pop

That is the name of the new inspiration board over at D'Lish Scraps, and it is as bright as it sounds!

So, there are plenty of interesting bits and bobs to inspire you on this board apart from the colour! I have to admit I was a little scared of this one at first, but I love how my page turned out.

I think most of my inspiration came from the cake, the colour on the black, and my page also loosely uses the sketch too (and there are those frame stamps again!). So much fun to go bright, bright , bright! Oh and do you like the way I used the motex tape to make my photo frames?!

Don't forget about the kits to go with the board if you are stuck for neon in your stash, they are fab!

On my page I have used the following products from the D'Lish store:

Mini Pegs

Live Laugh Love Charm

Neon Hearts - grab bag

Hot Pink Sequins

Shabby Chiffon Rose Trim - Orange

Sequin Bow - Hot Pink

Medium Polka Dot Buttons - Hot Pink, Orange, Yellow

Polka Dot Buttons - Green, Blue

Motex Tape Refill - Fluoro Pink and Fluoro Yellow

Can't wait to see your pages inspired by the Neon Pop board!
