October Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone - Dolly here again with another sketch which I hope will inspire you to get scrapping.

I don't often do 'tilted' pages and so this one was a bit different for me.

This is my page for the challenge using Simple Stories Kissing Booth.

If it inspires you and you do make a page based on this sketch - however losely - do share it int he sketch album here in our facebook group.

More of Indigo and Ivy

I have been loving the indigo and ivy papers and so have some more pages to share.
The papers are very versatile and suit almost any theme and they do lend themselves to fussy cutting which means your embellishments always match because you have made them.

 I also added lots of faux stitching on this one and it was a great way to use up scraps.

And I added some bright yellow to this page along with some Bo Bunny elements

I hope these give you some ideas to play with.

Indigo and Ivy

Hello everyone - Dolly here and I have been scrapping using the gorgeous Pink Paislee Indigo and Ivy collection which is just beautiful.
I love the navy with the naturals as well as the white - just a gorgeous colour combination.

I have two pages to share today

This is the first. I cut the chevrons as a background and edged the bottom with two colours of baker's twine.

Of course, as it is me, there was fussy cutting a plenty. I do love me a bit of fussy cutting.

I also used different colour inks and a stencil to add more detail.

And this was the second page

Mega fussy cutting on this one again - but once I started -well it was kind of hard to stop.

 I used the border strips from four of the designs to make a paper woven heart as well.

You know me - waste not want not.

Thank you for looking and I hope you go and check out the range in the store.

There are Fairies Amongst Us

Hello everyone - Dolly here.

Do you believe in Fairies? I am sure they must be real because I have a fairy door in my garden!
And if I wasn't convinced, I then saw the beautiful Graphic 45 Fairie Dust Collection which proves they surely MUST be real!

I have been working with some papers from the collection and have a few pages to share with you. The papers are typical Graphic 45, high-quality double-sided, giving lots of options, and they lend themselves to fussy cutting too as they are thick and stand being raised up on foam squares.

Do check out the collection as I think fairies can be used for all sorts of pages where you are recording an event which is just plain magical in some way, or florally beautiful or ... well, I guess I just like fairies.


The first page is with a photo from The Hamlet at Versailles because it was just such a magical place to visit. 

I loved the rich purples - we always say that colour purple is Disney Purple (works for Cadbury too but that's a whole other story)  and so it leant itself to a page where the Epcot globe was lit so beautifully.

And another Disney page - this time it worked well with the Halloween images. I always love the border strips you get with Graphic 45 as it makes pages so simple. 

 I loved that the collection had the soft teals mixed with the purple as I think it is a colour combo that works so well.

I hope you enjoyed the sheer escapism of a bit of scrapping with some fairies. And remember - you never know what is at the bottom of your garden!

September colour challenge

Hello everyone. Dolly here with another splash of colour for you

And this one has a whole hoast of colours for you to use. As always remember you can use different tones of the swatch so make it as bright or as subtle as you like.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this and please do share your creations in our facebook album here

Class 3 with Debs

Afternoon All, 

Hope you've had a wonderfully, scrappy Sunday so far.

The fabulous Pink Paislee 'Whimsical'  paper range lends itself to creating simple but striking layouts which is what we will be doing in this class. Nothing too demanding or challenging for a gentle afternoon of scrapping.

Full instructions for this class can be found here.  Please pop into the ATDML#create facebook group page to show us what you've done, we'd love to see your pages.

Hope you have a blissful evening.

September Virtual Crop by Katherine

Hello everyone, here is my class using the beautiful BoBunny Kiss the Cook range - it has a really nice farm feel to it as well as lots of cooking references too.

I have made 4 layouts some are easier than others, but all use the beautiful colours in this paper pack and also the lovely foiled vellum that you can see on my first page.  I had great fun making them so I hope you enjoy them too!  Even though the papers have a cooking theme, your photos don't need to be around food, I've used a mixture and there is a gorgeous pack of thickers in this kit so if the title doesn't quite work for your photos change it up.

You can find the class here

I hope you enjoy it, come back at 2pm for Debbies class.
