My Scrap Around the WorldJune DT Reveal"Home Sweet Home"

    Hi there friends, thanks for calling by. Today I  have my June DT reveal for  "Scrap Around the World"  challenge blog & this month was my turn to create the  moodboard(below) & host this months challenge.     June Moodboard.

 

 

Feel free to interpret the mood board in any way you like,

 using one image, several of them, all of them or even just

 one aspect of an image, using ANY COLOURS!  

My layout was inspired by the little house , the bike, the sunflowers,
the picket fence, the brick paving as well as the stripes and the colours scheme, pretty much everything & above all, how much I love, living where I live. It is my little piece of heaven.  

This is a picture of the front door of my house.

This whole moodboard just screamed at me to scrap

this pic of my house & my friends at 2 Crafty Chipboard

had all of these chippies pieces that helped me set the scene

of my layout starting off with this title,

"Home Sweet Home". Says it all, don't you agree?

I
I just had to use this sweet little "Bicycle". I just love it as well as the little chippie "Picket Fence".

Here you can see the little" house", another cute little 2Crafty chippie piece. The number eight is my house number.

Lots of background paints, textures, inks & stamping & some  stripe paper in keeping with my interpretation of the moodboard.

 
To finish off with I was lucky enough to have all these little sunflowers in my flower stash & they were just perfect for my layout.   This is just my interpretation of this moodboard, you will probably have a totally interpretation. You don't have to use these colours. You are free to use whatever colours you like. You don't have to take your inspiration from every image, you might take your inspiration from just one aspect of maybe just one image. Feel free to interpret it any way you like.

My First DT Reveal for Scraps of Darkness Kit ClubTwo Layouts to Share"Twisted & Tangled" May Kit

"Today"

  Hi there friends. Thanks for calling by. Today I have my very first design team reveal for the fabulous "Scraps of Darkness" kit club. This is their May kit, called "Twisted & Tangled". Love it, & it was just so easy to create both of these layouts & I still have heaps left to do more, so stay tuned for that.

For this layout I used the main kit as well as some of the flower add ons.

The picture on the right is the papers from the main kit.

OMG they are wonderful. It includes both 7 Dots & Fabscraps papers.

Loved both thes ranges.

 

  This layout was made using three of the Fabscraps papers from the main kit as well as some devine cheescloth fabric that also comes in the main kit. Just stuck it down & then applied texture paste over the top using the awesome Crafters Workshop stencil, that is also in this months kit,  to create some gorgeous textures. In the kit there are also some little handmade glass mosiac tiles  which I broke up & scattered around my page for a bit of glam.

  I fussy cut some of the papers up & used them in my layers.

  Lots of the yummy flowers from the Flower add on kit.

  Still more of their yummy flowers & a  picture of yours truly.

     
"Love & Explore"

  For my second layout I have used the fabulous 7 Dots papers from the main kit. OMG I love these.  

In this pic you can see I have also used the little metal Prima words as well

some of the yummy blue Prima flowers.

Metal words are in the main kit, flowers are part of the Floral add on.

Another fab item in this months kit is a sheet of Zen Doodle Collage sheet.

Here you can see I have simply cut one out & popped it in amongst all my layers.

It makes quite an impact, don't you think?

  A little stamping on the background, a few splatters, lots of layers, & hey presto, all done.
All of my amazing chipboard is from 2Crafty Chipboard.   I just know you will just love this kit as much as I do.

  Hi friends, thanks for stopping by. Today I have part two of my May reveal for 2Crafty chipboard to show you. I have used these pics of myself & my eldest son Beau. These were taken two years ago & I was waiting for just the right layout & I thought this was it. A special "Mother & Son Moment".

 I thought this 2Crafty chippie title, "A Moment Captured" was just perfect.

 Next up I used some 2Crafty "Polaroid Frames" to make my photos stand out.

In this pic you can see I have also used some of the 2Crafty

chippie "Dandelions" & simply tucked them in with my flowers to create 

this lovely cluster.

 Thats all from me today, I hope I have inspired you to get hold of some of

this fabulous 2Crafty chipboard for your next project too,

"Heritage"

Hi there, thanks for calling in the blog. Today I have part one of my May  reveal  for 2 Crafty chipboard  to share with you & naturally I have used loads of  gorgeous chipboard. I started this layout off with lots of background treatments, followed up with lots of fussy cutting, this paper was perfect for that, then I attacked my chipboard.  

First up I started with one of the many 2 Crafty chippie titles,

"Heritage" which was perfect for my vintage layout.

I have also used some pieces of their "Leafy Shrub Set #3"

to tuck in here & there amongst the flowers. These are the

perfect accessory to include with any flower cluster.

In this pic you can see I have also used one of their
 "Henri's Tiny Frames"

for my quote, which says.....

"Time is measured in minutes,

Life is measured in moments".

I thought these words were perfect for my vintage layout.
 

I used "Silks" glaze to colour my chipboard this lovely mauve colour.
. This works so well on chipboard. You just

brush it on & it gives a gorgeous shimmery effect. 

I actually used two different colours to get just the right

 shade that I was after.

I will be back in a couple of days with part two of my May reveal.

I do hope you will call back then.

If you would like to get some 2Crafty chipboard too,

Scrap Around the World Epic AnniversaryGuest Designing with the 2Crafty Chipboard Girls"Make A Wish"

 

  Hello friends, thanks for stopping by. This month is the one year anniversary over at Scrap Around the World challenge blog & they have so many prizes, & guest teams & all sorts of wonderful things happening. 2Crafty Chipboard are one of the major sponsors and have  generously donated a $100 prize pack of their amazing chippies for some lucky winner. The 2Crafty design team girls are "guesting" over at Scrap Around the World as well,  & as I am part of this team I also have a reveal with them too.
This is the fabulous Scrap Around the World May moodboard.

  How could you NOT be inspired by this moodboard. The theme this month is celebration.  

Feel free to interpret the mood board in any way you like,

 using one image, several of them, all of them or even just

 one aspect of an image, using ANY COLOURS!  

 

There are some rules you will also need to follow, but I

really hope you can join in the fun too.

    So here is my guest design team layout based on the above moodboard. I have taken inspiration from  the pink & aqua colours, the little bows on the shoes & the quote as well as the balloons.

I really wish you could see how much this layout sparkles. I have sooo

much glitter on it but unfortunately you can't see any of it in the pics.

I have used lots of yummy 2Crafty Chipboard 

including this fabulous title - "Make A Wish".

Some of their circles from a "6" Skeleton Clock Frame Set".

These are actually just the in between pieces but they were 

perfect for what I wanted.

I have also used one of their "Twinkling Fairies" &

again used lots of glitter on her.

Some of their "Balloons" from a big "12" Party Theme Pack".

Again lots of glitter on them but you can't hardly see it !!!!

Lots of background work. I love detail.

  Here you can see I have also used a pair of gorgeous flourishes from the "Flourish Adornment Set #4" & just tucked them in under the edge of both of my flower clusters before adding a bow or two..
Remember to pop over to the Scrap Around the World blog & see what all the other 2Crafty design team have done.
Until next time.
