Two layouts for April

Hi everyone and welcome to my April post.

This month I set the challenge over at Show Us Your Stuff challenge blog and the beautiful Sofie and Andrew here at Scrapmatts are sponsoring it.

I chose the theme to be  "Its all about me".  As scrapbookers we don't usually feature ourselves, this is the time to do so.  Pop on over and have a look at the Design Team's layouts and you can see how varied they are.

I have used lots of my favourite embellishment on this layouts and they are all from local Australian companies and handmade businesses.

 As usual I started with a stencil or two and used Colour Blast Paste and shimmer pots to create my background.  I matted my photo with Red cardstock and then used Coco Vanilla papers, stickers and words.  I added a heart, a flair and flowers.

That is not all I used!  There are quite a few Scrapmatts Chipboard pieces.  The swirl, tag, frame and word pieces have all be altered with Colour Blast Shimmer colour and embossing powders.
