October Catch Up Post

Hi everyone

I've remembered this month.  Life really got in the way for me in September.  Before I realised it the 13th had flown by and I had missed my post for September.

To make up for it I have included double the layouts I would normally showcase.  This means double the gorgeous Scrapmatts products.

My first layout is my Design Team submission for the current challenge over at Made To Scrap - The Aussie Way.  This challenge is all using frames.

Fingers crossed that I see you in November with some of the results from my retreat.

Until then, Happy Creating with Scrapmatts.

October Creating with Scrapmatts!

Hello there,
I trust your day is going well...  I am scratching my head as to how we got to October already, but here we are!!! I am just popping in to share a couple of layouts I have created using some fabulous Scrapmatts products.. So many  products, so many ways to use them!! I hope I can inspire you in some way today!

The first layout is one I created for last months challenge over at Color; Stories, Inspiration where some of the Scrapmatts designers guested for the challenge.Challenges are always good to get you thinking!!
The theme of my layout was to scrap about my Daughter and her cat!

and here are some closer views!!

Love the string circles and I popped a little liquid pearls dot randomly on the arrows..

The stencilled triangles always add great interest to any back ground..

The chipboard swirls are painted with black gesso to add some drama to my page..

I popped a little bow under my cluster and painted it a happy yellow to match the color scheme!

You are my favourite.

I love this photo of my Daughter and her cat... some photos just look better cut into a circle!!

The Scrapmatts I have used for this page..

The second layout I would like to share is a masculine one, and I love the gears and cogs and arrows for my male projects...

some closer views..

The gears were simply dabbed with two different colored ink pads..

Chipboard arrows, stencilled numbers...  perfect for my male page..

I added some rips to the paper and put some contrasting paper strips in the gaps for some added texture and interest.

You make the world more amazing.

And this is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used for my male layout.

October Creations with Tania

Hello there!

Tania joining you today to share a couple of projects I created for this month using lots of gorgeous Scrapmatts goodies! 

 First up I have a mini canvas to share...... 

"You Make Me Smile"

I wanted to add lots of texture to the background of the canvas so I used a couple of Stencils Numbers and New Cheese.  I covered the canvas with both stencils until I was happy.

Here is a photo before I added any colour.

Next I had some fun adding lots of Dylusions sprays.  I wanted to add some black to tone in with the Black Chains & Gears chipboard I was using.  Below is the canvas before I embellished it.

Next I added lots of paper layers and then layered my photo over them.  I still wanted to add a bit more texture so I used some Gold Leaf and Prima Art Stones.   I added the chipboard Chains & Gears, a chipboard title and finished off the canvas with lots of yummy blooms.

ST9030-A5 Numbers

ST9001-A5 New Cheese

Here's some close ups.....

Next up is a layout to share.....

"Timeless Memories"

To start I added some texture to the background page using the Damask Stencil.  Once dry I splashed on some Dylusions spray.  I added some paper layers and then the photo overlapping them.  I framed my photo using an Ornate Frame in the white finish.  I coloured a couple of page borders using the same dylusions sprays I had on the background page.  After I had embellished the page with flowers I tucked the chipboard page borders into the flower clusters.  I finished off my page with a chipboard title.
