I have used the half flower from Dylusion's Sunshine Girl stamp set and stamped with Gold pigment ink three time on the right hand side of the white cardstock.
There was a piece of chipboard in the optional kit that was in the shape of railway tracks. I cut these up so they were various shapes and attached them around the edge of the photo. The flowers were then added around the photo. A gemstone, from the optional kit, was added to the centre of each of the flowers.
I have a sketch challenge for you. Due to work commitments and not enough hours in the day I've picked a PageMaps one this month.
And here's my take.
Hope you have fun with this sketch.

Challenge 2
My challenge for you this month is to create a holiday/travel layout.
I know travel has been a bit restricted lately but you could use photos from travels before we heard about Covid or you might have been on a nice little weekend away that it is time to scrap
I have used Teal Cardstock for the background, I cut the centre from this cardstock leaving a 1" frame.
On top of that frame I places an 11.5" x 11.5" piece of the Dowager paper.
I added some splatters to this paper with Glimmer Mist's Black Magic
I cut a piece of the Shilling paper that was 5" wide x 12" following the zig zag pattern on both 12" edges.
I traced the zig zag edge onto a 7" piece of Parlor and cut this out.
The Shilling paper was attached on top of the Parlor paper.
This was then attached to the layout base with a piece of craft foam between them
I filed the edge of the photos with an emery board, inked them with the black ink and matted them onto some of the cardstock I removed from the middle of my background frame.
I added craft foam to the back of the photos before attaching them to my layout
To embellish the pennants a little I punched some tiny hearts from the teal cardstock and attached them.
The pennants were attached to the layout in the top left hand area and the speech bubble was attached to the top right hand area of the right hand photo.
The title was die cut from the teal cardstock using Kaisercraft's DD735 Uppercase Alpha dies.
The final touch was to give the tiny hearts and the title a good coat of Glossy Accents

Challenge 1 - Sparkle and Texture
When thinking of this month's theme, my mind when to descriptive words, and sparkle and texture came to mind, so add some to your page!!
I've added texture with texture paste and a stencil, and sparkle with Wink a Stella on all my flowers.
I've used Cocoa Vanilla's Daydream collection for my page, I adore these colours, I fussy cut the flowers from Garden Variety paper, and layed with Sunshower.
I coloured some texture paste and used a stencil on 2 corners, then added a nice generous amount of Frosted Sugar for a bit of extra sparkle amongst my flowers!
Hope you have fun with this challenge!

I am going with the "Fire" theme with this challenge
You are required to use Red, Orange & Yellow - You can use one, two, or all three of these colours plus use a stencil. I have used all three colours.
The inspiration for this layout came from a video by Allison Davis. You can see her video here.
The triangles on this layout reminded me of the Pyramids we saw while we were holding in Egypt, where this photo was taken.
To create the triangles I marked the middle of one side of each square and then cut from the two corners on the opposite edge to the centre mark. I cut approx 10 squares to begin with and placed them onto the layout leaving a thin white border between each triangle then I cut more triangles as I needed them to fill in the design and extend it out to the size I needed so the triangles were visible around each edge of the photo. Once I was happy with the placement of the triangles I inked the edges and attached them to the background using glue. I used my T-Ruler to make sure the first triangle was straight so all of the other triangles would be straight as I lined them up.
The photo measures 8" x 4.5". I matted this on white cardstock so it had a 1/16" border on all sides.
A piece of chipboard was attached to the back of the photo before it was added to the layout.
The words Sunset and Nile were cut on my Scan N Cut from black cardstock. To complete my title I used some stickers from Basic Grey.
My layout now looked like this and I had planned to stop here.
I had inked around the edges of each flower and attached them to the top left hand and the bottom right hand corners of the layout. So you can see the difference those few flowers made.
I have to admit I do prefer the layout with the flowers but the part of me that likes clean layouts is still pretty keen on the layout without the flowers
There is a process video and you can see it here.
Thank you for being here today.
Till next time
Stay safe

It's week eight (the last one!!) in the Mystical Scrapbooks- Scrapbook Gourmet Competition if you haven't already go check out this week's challenge. It's time for the cheese platter can you see my triangle-shaped wedges? I love scrapping with triangles- but have never used them in this way. I was inspired by a page I found on Pinterest.
I used Oxide Ink and Art Alchemy waxes to stamp my background.
My title was sprayed with Kaisermist and then I used wax to highlight the tops and bottoms. I also sprayed the gauze and doily with Kaisermist.
It's week seven in the Mystical Scrapbooks- Scrapbook Gourmet Competition if you haven't already go check out this week's challenge. Donna pulled together strawberries and chocolate- yum!! Here's how I took on the challenge. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else does.
I am really loving the gauze- it adds great texture and dimension and it's so easy to colour with spray or ink.
It's week six in the Mystical Scrapbooks- Scrapbook Gourmet Competition. We're on to the main course and I chose Duck a l'orange- because it's a bit of a joke in our house whenever I ask my husband what he wants for dinner this is what he asks for... to my knowledge he's never had it. :-) Go check out this week's challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do.
It's week five in the Mystical Scrapbooks- Scrapbook Gourmet Competition if you haven't already go check out this week's challenge. On the menu Fish Fillets with Beetroot- I channelled my inner master chef and pulled out the Nuvo drops. I smeared a big gloop of the Rhubarb Crumble across my page with my bone folder and then some smaller smears of the bottle green with my fingers.
It's week three in the Mystical Scrapbooks- Scrapbook Gourmet Competition if you haven't already go check out this week's challenge. Donna picked a simple green salad and I took the green and ran with it... do you find it easy scrapping green? I'm looking forward to seeing the challenges in the facebook gallery.
I coloured my white flowers with Kaisermist and highlighted them with Art Alchemy Waxes- which I also used on my black foam title.
It's week three in the Mystical Scrapbooks- Scrapbook Gourmet Competition if you haven't already go check out this week's challenge. Robyn's picked meatballs for her appetiser can you see how I met her challenge?
