D-lish Scraps April Moodboard

This month D-lish Scraps has a soft and pretty moodboard in shades of grey, pink, tan and white.

The accompanying Just Add Paper kit was filled with gorgeous embellies and I was itching to create a LO with it. But it proved so much harder than I expected. First of all I didn't have a single photo among the trillion I printed that featured soft pretty colours. Nothing, not even close. In the end I settled on this photo of Zoë as it contained greys and tan. But it was really hard to do the kit justice. A quick pick through my stash yielded plenty of paper in the right shades and I rotated the sketch but still I struggled. I'm sure this LO took three times longer than average! Anyway this is the finished product. The colours were a little hard to photograph too. The background paper is a soft grey not mauve and the doily, diecut and alphas are all charcoal. 

I used papers from Heidi Swapp, Simple Stories and Pink Paislee, Thickers and Basic Grey alphas, elements of the D-lish Scraps JAP kit, plus a tab, some carbonchans, rhinestones and a Rainbow Splendour pretty pin. I finished it off with some splattered Mister Huey's calico mist. 

The good news is I have heaps of pretty goodies left from the kit and I've the perfect photo on my phone to use them with! I might just give this moodboard another go.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Scrap the Boys April Challenge

STB has a photo prompt challenge this month.

Here's my take on it. I used some Kaiser papers, Mister Huey's calico mist, a couple of D-lish Scraps tabs and a large enamel dot, some SU candy dots, a Charms Creation star and a Studio Fourteen40 flair. I finished off with some computer journalling for a change. 

This challenge was a lot of fun as it's completely open to individual interpretation. 

Thanks for stopping by :)

SBT50 April challenge

It's been awhile since I've participated in any scrappy challenges. But since having my hip replacement almost five weeks ago (it went way better than my knee replacement of last year) I've been able to sit and scrap. So nice! Anyway I've completed this month's Scrapbooking Top 50 sketch challenge.

I've had these photos of Angus dressed to combat the Ebola virus at a Halloween party since 2014 - some things take time! How cool is that marbled paper from Stampin Up? I've also used some D-lish Scraps embellies, a Burdy's Embellies cog and a Rainbow Splendour spotty denim wheel. 

Happy Saturday! Hope you're making some time to get creative, I'm off to try my hand at another challenge or two. 

Show us your stuff April challenge

April is almost over but there's still plenty of time to join in a few scrapbooking challenges. Of course I recommend SUYS. It would be wrong of me not to! This month the challenge is to get creative with stamps.

Since the prize is some fabulous Stampin Up products, I decided to break out some of my new SU supplies.

The inks, stamps and the paper are all current SU products. The little bag, doily, flower and flair are from D-lish Scraps, the other embellies (except for the Charms Creation luscious lollipop and veneer person) are from CTMH. 

Thanks for popping by to take a peek. Can't wait to see your creation - remember it doesn't have to be a LO. Why not make some cards or a canvas? Don't forget your handmade item!
