A Warm Welcome to 2019 'Simple Pleasures' layout by Kim

Happy New Year!

A very warm welcome to 2019 to all of our 

dear Scrapmatts followers!

We have given you a few days to settle into the New Year and now we hope to inspire you!

Today I have a layout to share with you all. 

A layout created featuring my Grandfather.

Let me show you.....

{Simple Pleasures}

 

My Pop lived on the land his whole life, working the land and he was also a dairy farmer....he was a giant man but always so wonderful and kind to me.

My brother was on a genealogy website and came across this photo of our grandfather with one of my uncles. Well I knew this photo needed to be scrapped! 

Scrapmatts had the perfect chipboard embellishments to go with this precious photo!

  

[Isn't it just perfect!!!] 

Now, I had these pieces in white mist, so all I did was ink them to match in with my paper and design. The Grass chipboard pieces came in the green, so no need to change them!

 I also managed to find a little Scrapmatts silhouette dog to add to the bottom right corner.

 I have had that giant Ric-Rac ribbon in my stash for so long. I cut small sections of it and frayed it out to make it look like grass and I really like the effect. Sometimes it's good to think outside the box.
