Relax | D-lish Scraps

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would share with you my final creation as part of the D-lish Design Team.

So for my last share with you I decided it needed to be a puppy page.  I haven't done many lately, and since they are my babies, thought I would finally do one.

So, this page is all about my old boy Max.  He is now over 13 years old, and I know his days with us are becoming numbered (he is going blind and deaf and becoming riddled with arthritis), so I want to make sure I have his scrapbook album full so I can continue to enjoy the memories for years to come.

To start I decided I wanted a printed border around my page.  After choosing the patterned papers that I wanted to use, I took my white cardstock and trimmed 1" off my cardstock. I then stamped it with a stitched circle stamp.
I mounted my photo on some cardboard just to give it a bit of height from the page.  Behind it I added some more patterned papers and then one of the D-lish paper doilies.

Once I have layered my papers and photo I then just went to town on embellishing the page with heaps of goodies from the D-lish Scraps store.

 

I have used a whole heaps of D-lish goodies including some from previous 'Just Add Paper' kits.  Goodies include the cute little resin flowers, wood veneer title, washi tape and flair button.  I really love using the ombre wordfetti as they have words in different shades of the same colour palette.

I have little clusters all over the page.  They include everything from the cute little sequin bow, to wood veneer hearts, a tassel and paper flowers of all different styles and sizes.  To finish I added some of the enamel dots.

So for one final time Thanks for Looking.  

I wish you all well on your crafting journeys.

Ciao for now.

be BOLD | D-lish Scraps

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to March.  For my first share on the D-Lish Scraps blog this month I got a little bit messy to create this page of my niece Sabine.  I have had this photo in my collection for a little while now and I think I have finally done it justice, well I am hoping I have.  It needed this little bit of 'grunge' to help it shine considering the attitude on her face.

 

To start my page I covered my white cardstock with some gesso.  Once dry I used an orange gelato stick and scribbled on the bottom third of the page and then spritzed it with water, then blended it with my fingers.  I then lightly dried it using my heat gun.

Next I used an alphabet stencil from my collection and added some texture over the top portion of the orange.  I then mixed in a little of the gelato stick into some embossing paste and used a flourish stencil to add some more texture to the page. Once dry I flicked a small amount of black ink over the page.

Using a script stamp and some black ink, I stamped in a couple of places over the background.

My embellishments came mostly from previous Just Add Paper kits, including the film strips and polaroid die cuts, the washi tape, black wire, punchinella and the flair button.  I also added some enamel dots and enamal shapes and a couple of raw veneer stars that I inked up.

 

Whilst some of the exact items are no longer available, there is a whole range of other goodies available that could easily replace what I have used on the page.

 

Thanks so much for dropping by.  I hope you are even just a little inspired to jump in a try some of the current challenges up on The Scrap Suite Facebook page.
Hopefully I'll see you back here in a couple of weeks for my next post.

Ciao,
Anita
