Tropical Sorbet scrap page

Another scrapbook page created with Polkadoodles Digi scrap kit Tropical Sorbet. I just love the papers, they could be used for so many types of paper crafting. The borders were made with a digital punch. My choice of software is CraftArtist, but I also have Paintshop pro.
This is a close up of the Photo frame and cluster. I originally had a light coloured mat behind the pink photo frame, but found it blended too much into the background, so I darkened it. I then created a dashed line to go on top of the mat to make it pop. There was a beautiful array of flowers in the kit, which I stacked with shadows to lift them up, to make the cluster. Because of the patterned background, I cut out a flower shape from one of the plain papers in the kit and gave it an inked effect in the software to act as a base for the cluster. I then finished it off with a butterfly.

Tropical Sorbet "I'm a Fairy"

Another page made with the Polkadoodles Tropical Sorbet Digital Scrapbook kit. I love making Fairies with Butterfly wings,  I've also used the fab selection of toadstools and birdhouses to create the scene. The background has 1 plain paper and 1 textured which I have masked over the bird houses and toadstools. #polkadoodles#

Tropical Sorbet scrap page 2

A digital scrapbook page made with Tropical Sorbet kit from Polkadoodles. The kit has beautiful tropical fruit coloured papers, in different patterns and colour combinations. I loved the little ladybugs in the embellishment, the little buttons and bows, not to mention the toadstools just right for those fairy projects we all love to make. #Polkadoodles#

Summer Breeze At the Seaside.

An English day at the beach, Katherine in her raincoat.I used the navy because of Katherine's coat. I have this thing in my head, that most of the time  I have matching kits to clothes. I have been guilty of changing the colour of someones clothes, if there is a kit I particularly want to use,but we best not discuss that! The pink lining of her coat was a problem, but then I found the lovely pink beach hut. Kit is Summer Breeze #Polkadoodles#.http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/summer-breeze-digi-scrap-craft-download/

Summer Breeze, Keira's holiday.

Loved the colour scheme here, so refreshing the lemon with the hint of turquoise and the darkness of the navy, just right for sunny Summer days. I put large shadows on the fish to make them stand out, so they looked like they were swimming in the foreground. #Polkadoodles# http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/summer-breeze-digi-scrap-craft-download/

York Garden Scrap.

Well this was a photo taken when we went to York for a week. We were up on the city wall, very scary at times, but marvelous views of York. I just had the idea of scrapping from inside a garden looking at the photo of a garden, Loved the trees!  #Polkadoodles#

Keira Stitched with love.

This is Keira she is 7 going on 21. She's planning on getting married when I am 109, so we've got a while to go before I get any wedding pics to scrap! I love haberdashery items to scrap with,they lead the way to rows of stitching, which can be used to join layers together x #Polkadoodles#.
