September with Helen

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a layout about a newborn baby meeting her Daddy.

The photo was slightly out of focus, but too precious to discard, so I added a watercolour filter, to blend in with the ombre background paper.
All the papers are from the  Kaisercraft collection, "Indigo Blue." 

The flair is from Studio Fourteen 40.
The puffy clouds is from Amy Tangerine "Cute overload".

I'm not sure where I got the spotty flair, apart from the bottom of my stash, maybe G45?
I left all the chipboard bare apart from the heart which I wet embossed with 
Stampendous "aged Taupe."

Scrapmatts products used:-

CB1071 Hearts
CB5142 Retro Squares
CB6112 Scrap words 31
Heart Stencil

I based my layout on a sketch by Laura Whitaker.

Next up is an older photo from a Christmas 2014.

Still stash busting, I've used scraps of older papers to make the red and patterned trees;
then combined them with a new Kaisercraft Christmas collection "Letters to Santa",

for the green tree and green mat.  I think that the gorgeous
 Scrapmatts products have added a touch of festivity and sparkle.

I used various water colours and Tim Holtz Oxides to paint the Holly leaves.

The Believe title, the Frame and the stencilling was done with Nuvo Mousse.
