Always Be A Queen

So, I'm totally in love with this layout! I decided to try a new scrapping style, and it worked! That's what I love about scrapbooking - the playing and experimenting. 

I created "Always Be A Queen" as part of my DT commitments for D-Lish Scraps. It went live on the D-Lish Blog on the 26th June. The papers are the Rossibelle range from Prima (which I have been hoarding for way too long, lol!). Disclaimer: the photo is not mine. It was found on the internet, and I do not know who's it is.

 I have splattered a mixture of Glimmermist and Heidi Swapp mists to create my splattered effect. 

And of course, a Queen must have a crown. Preferably pink and sparkly. I have used Opal Dust to create the glimmer and sparkles. 

Lots of flowers, roses, fussy cutting and layers, with cute little details such as a veneer owl. Isn't he just the cutest? And a texture paste background using the brick wall stencil (found in the D-Lish store). 

Thank-you for stopping by and joining me. I hope you are having an awesome scrappy weekend.  Cheers and hugs, xxx

Love Layout for D-Lish Scraps

Seriously, can life slow down just a little? Where have the last two months gone??? I actually created this layout for the D-Lish Scraps May Cyber Crop but I'm only just getting around to sharing it on my blog now. Bad, I know!!!

Did you know that D-Lish Scraps have monthly cyber crops? If not, you might want to join us for the next one and have a little fun. There are lots of great challenges, and there are some lovely prizes up for grabs too. Our next Cyber crop begins on the 14th July. Just make sure to join The Scrap Suite on Facebook to be part of all this fun. 

For my challenge you were required to use the colours pink, red and white, the word love, at least three hearts, a minimum of three lines of journalling, and washi tape. 

This is what I came up with - absolutely thrilled with the end result. And for anyone who may be wondering, I have used The Girl's Paperie papers, from several years ago. 

I am loving these flowers and roses - the deep, vibrant shades of red are just divine!!!!

My background was created with a 5x5 stencil. You can find these in the D-Lish Store. 

Added a little journalling. I'm one of those people that love to add journalling to my layouts. A layout never feels complete to me without a story. 

Sigh...more flowers. <3 p="">

Thanks for stopping by and joining me, and I hope to see you at our next Cyber Crop. Happy crafting, xxx

Sweet Layout for D-Lish Scraps

Back on the 12th May I shared this SWEET layout on the D-Lish blog. You can find all the extra details RIGHT HERE. 

For those who may be wondering, that is The Girl's Paperie papers, from many, many years ago. Man, I miss those papers. They were soooooo pretty. Fortunately, in my usual fashion, I've kept a small stash for emergencies, like this! ;-) 

The photo of the kitchen is off Pinterest (definitely not my own). If it was my own, it would mean I had my dream kitchen and I'd be too busy cooking up a storm to do any scrapping, lol! 

Or maybe I should just buy a ticket in the lotto?  Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having an awesome crafty day! Cheers and big hugs, xxx

D-Lish Scraps May Challenge Share...

Can you believe it is May already? That means we are over a third of the way through the year, and only two months until we are half way through the year. YIKES!!!!!

Well, before anymore time passes, I will share my creation for this month's D-Lish Scraps Inspiration challenge. You can find all the details and other inspiration right HERE on the D-Lish Blog. 

I had a wonderful time playing with these colours because they are not something I would generally choose for myself. Its amazing what you can achieve when you step outside your comfort zone. Yes, I need to do a lot more of this for myself. 

So stay tuned - time to spread my wings and grow creatively. :)

I love flower clusters and butterflies. They make a page look so pretty, soft and feminine. Yes,e even with lots of grey, and bold colours, a page can still be soft - it's all about the details. 

Do you recognise the paper? I'm trying to use up some of my vintage stash - this is My Mind's Eye, from quite a few years ago. 

Thought I would share the Inspiration Board with you - don't forget to pop on over to the D-Lish Blog, right HERE, to join the fun. 
Cheers and happy crafting, xxx
