Week 1:Trends (Glitter, Paints & Stars)

This is the first week of challenges over at Scrapbooking Top 50 and the number I picked came up with Glitter, Paints & Stars and here's my interpretation. 

My glitter is Kindy Glitz and its applied around the edges of all the stars that were cut using the Spellbinders die and the paint has been brushed lightly behind the stars.  

I've also used a couple of Kaisercraft stamps, some stitched borders and some loose threads.

The gorgeous flair is from D-Lish Scraps.

D-Lish Scraps (Look at Me)

D-Lish Scraps have a fabulous fluoro inspiration board for the challenge this month 

and I was inspired by the fabulous colours.  

The layout is of my youngest grandson taken in my back garden.

I just love the little puffy alphas I had in my stash, I've had them for ages and I think they were meant for this fun layout.  The paint I used was from a Riot store and it's only a children's set of tiny tubs of paint, perfect for a project like this one.  

I also used the 'Just Add Paper' kit from D-Lish Scraps, it had so many beautiful bits and pieces including the sequins, fluoro dots, speech bubbles and that fabulous washi tape.

The stencil is from a2z scraplets and I doodles around it with a sharpie pen and the background stamp is from Kaisercraft.

You also have the option of using the fabulous sketch.

Get Creative Card Challenge

Irini's challenge at Get Creative was to use layers and after a Skype Scrap session with two of my scrappy friends, one from the other side of the world and one in my own Aus, this is what I came up with, hope you like it, we had such fun chatting and scrapping and hope to do it again soon.

Background Paper in Previous Post

A quick post to let you know the brand of my background paper in the previous post CSI #90.

It was Prima Marketing Sunrise - Sunset collection - Celsius  #960018 by Finnabair, I'm sorry I don't remember how old it is.

I found this on Finnabair's blog, she's used the paper mentioned above.

CSI #90 (You Make Me Happy)

My entry for the challenge at CSI, I haven't entered for a while now and wanted to challenge my self to use the colours for this one.  If you want to see what the team have created or you want to join in with one of their challenges why not pop over to the above link and get inspired.

My Scheme:

I've used all colours

My Evidence:

I've used a few on the list:  the cat, a heart, polka dots, tie something and two alphas

My Testimony:

I've written a diary entry on behalf of the cat.

D-Lish Scraps (It's Home)

This month over at D-Lish Scraps they had a fabulous mood board, pictured below my interpretation of the colours and the sketch.

I decided to do an A4 size and start an album of things in the garden and around the home.

And now the Mood Board and Sketch.

I had such fun using my new gelatos, the colours are amazing.  I used the background of this resist paper for the squares but they appear as diagonals here.

I've also used some of my favourite D-Lish trinkets and a stamp set that came free with a magazine some time ago. 

I'm having trouble making my pages flat after using water and also some glues on the layout.
