My most fabulous news

This happened!!

I so have not had a moment to share.
Have shouted it all over Facebook and slapped the magazine in front of everyone's faces.
And I can't stop smiling about it.
I was so shocked when I got the phone call and it was  the hardest secret I have ever had to keep.
3 months!! 3 months I had to hold it in and not tell a sole.
Gary knew cause we were both in the car when the call came through the speakers.   He so loves to tell everyone about how I reacted. He treats it like he's giving an Oscar performance and acts as if I was giving an Oscar speech.
LOL, it was a crazy call.


We've done 5 projects so far and am loving being challenged by the provided products.
Links to the other 9 amazing and super talented ladies are up on the right side of my blog.
Woo Hoo!!

Just be you,

Back again with another share using some

 more of the

new goodies available in store.

I started my page off by stamping with 

one of my favourite

Scrap FX stamps, hash stamp. 

The I just layered with a bit of colour and 

lots of goodies.

The 2 metal piece that I have under the top and bottom of the

photo.  The top one is a Metal Filigree Doily

 and the bottom is

an Antique Bronze Hair Comb.

One the sides of my pages I have used 

some wood look Washi Tape

Also layered under the photo is some 

Coloured Wire, a Coloured 

Doily , sequins.

Also is one of the super gorgeous Little Birdie Butterflies and

scattered around some super cute Little

Dream metal charm, and some more

 super super cute tiny Little Birdie flowers.

See you all soon for Decembers cyber crop in the

 Scrap Suite facbook page.

I love that smile

Can you believe how fast the year has gone?

I can't believe that I'm here already with my December shares.

I got a bit messy with page, matching my background colours

to the colours in Jords cap.

Plus a little gold.

♥

There was once again some awesome new

 goodies in the store this last month.

I'm loving that I can buy Scrap FX

 chipboard, stamps and stencils

 from D-lish Scraps now.

One of my fave pieces of chipboard is

 these Sketchy Corners

I have stamped over these and heat embossed 

with a gorgeous sparkly

black embossing powder.

To add a bit of dimension I have used one

 corner slightly

tucked under the photos and the 

other corner on top.

Those little Pinkfresh Studio chevron wood drops are so

super gorgeous.

Layered on top of the sketchy frame is a
 Pinkfresh Studio Wood Chip.
These come in a pack with 9 different sayings
 and are pretty awesome.

I love that gold Freckled Fawn Arrow.

I've used the D-lish Scraps wood veneer alpha
 set for the word SMILE in my title.

I heat embossed this with gold embossing
 powder and the same

 black as my frame.

Finished off my page with a little splattering of Enamel Dots.

Whoa! December!! Really??

Well that didn't take long to come around.

My first reveal for the season to be 

jolly is my sample for the gorgeous

mood board at Scrap the Girls this month.

Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

I had those words stuck in my head from the moment I saw that flair at  D-lish Scraps.
I had those words stuck in my head every single minute that I spent putting this page together, photographing and editing these photos, and now every single second that I'm doing this blog post.

I feel in love with how feminine and

shiny this board is.

So perfect for this adorable little

Princess.

 This month we have a fabulous  package of all sorts of yummy  flowers, embellishments and chippy  donated by the lovely Raquel Bowman  from her personal stash!!
You have until the end of December to get your entries in and I can't wait to see what y'all do.

Shine, D-lish Scraps share

The page I'm sharing today has my least favourite colour

ever featured on it.

Well it was my least favourite until recently.  

Seeing all the inspiration in The Scrap Suite and all the gorgeous entries in Lynn's

 challenge at the last crop, I suddenly am snapping up every purple 

embellie I can get.

I've taken 2 Wooden Veneer Arrow and Heart Frames and

 1 Wood Veneer Shine Frame.

I wanted a mirrored type look with my frames so I flipped over one of the 

Arrow and Heart frames, with the arrows on each frame pointing in towards my photo.

I've done a little remodelling with the Shine frame.  

I've very carefully cut out the stars from the middle of the frame.

This helped with that 'mirrored' look I was going for.

You can also see here above the photo and in the left corner of the frame

I've used the stars that I cut out of the middle of the frame.

I have coloured the stars with Magicals.

I've then used embossing powder and Metallic Melts to give the frames

a couple of different shades of colour.

In my clusters I have used, Resin Whimsical Butterflies, D-lish Dots, Resin

Mini Bow, Elder Flowers, Oriental Lillies, Peonies, Azaleas,

Cherry Blossoms and some Leaves.

I've also used some of the pretty white Doilies from the store.  I cut one into 

quarters and used 2 pieces in the corners of the frames.

Behind the frames I have used a Chevron Bag.

Some strips of Wordfetti are perfect for little extras on your pages.

The couple of quotes I've used here have been held together with one of the

super cute Mini Wooden Pegs.

All finished off with a flair from the Dainty Doilies set.

Hello fun, D-lish Scraps share

This month I decided to have a play around with some old photos.

Maybe not the best quality of pic, but definitely an awesome trip down

memory lane.

The photos here are of Jordan wearing some crazy, googly glasses.

I wanted to use the colours in the glasses on my layout but didn't want

it to have a girly feel.

I wanted something colourful and fun.

My background has again started out with some heat embossing and a bit

of stencil work.

The next thing I did was take 3 of these awesome looking Wood Veneer

Multi Circle Frames.

I wanted more, no matter what I did I could not get them to sit on my page

 how I had it pictured in my head.

So I cut them up :)

I started with 3 frames and ended up with 7 pieces of wood veneer  to

decorate my page with.

I first painted my veneers with gesso.   I have then added some texture with

some whipped spackle.  Once dried, my circles have been coloured 

with distress ink and the edges inked with black.

Finished off with some Dimensional Magic.

I have done the same with this cute little Wood Veneer Heart.

I've added other goodies with nice bright colours to complement the

circles and Jords googly glasses, D-lish Dots, and more D-lish Dots, a Mini Peg,

a couple of Journal It's, a quote from the Everyday Moments Wordfetti and

a coloured doily.

I made my title with some Freckled Fawn Wood chip Words which I have again

painted with gesso, coloured with inks and finished with Dimensional Magic.

I finished my page off with some torn pieces of washi tape.
These were a last minute addition as I'd decided to journal around my little circles.

Half of it was illegible and the other half just looked really, really sad.

So I covered it in washi and just added bits of it randomly where there wasn't
writing just to even the look of the page out.

But that's our little secret, if anyone asks we can
just tell them it's a design element ♥

Scrap Around the World November

I can't believe it's the 2nd day of

November and I already have one of

this months challenges completed.

I knew as soon as I saw this gorgeous

mood board from

Scrap Around The World

that I needed to have a try at it.

Gorgeous!

Super gorgeous!!

There is not much in this board that I

didn't draw inspiration from.  Everything

spoke to me.  The music paper with string.

The flowers. The gorgeous colours.

The doily curtain. 

The quote.

I started my page of with lots of heat embossing with doily stamps and matched them with the colours of the flowers in the board.

I've built up heaps of layers with

doilies, die cuts, tissue paper

and flowers.

Lots of pretty matching flowers .
