C.S.I. Challenges using SCRAPMATTS.

Hello there,
How is your week going? I am mid winter here and I mustn't complain as Winter is needed, and it makes for good days indoors creating!!

Once again the Team from Scrapmatts were invited to be Guest Designers for the challenges over at C.S.I. Color Stories Inspiration Challenge and I would like to share two of my layouts from two of the challenges..

The first layout was created for the Mid June Challenge which was to document something about summer. Well I had to find some fabulous Scrapmatts beachy chippies for my page and then I created my layout.

some closer views ..

 I love the different types of chipboard shell available by Scrapmatts.

Just some randomly cut Net chipboard.

Ah the Tranquility of the beach...

This photo was taken early one morning when we were at the beach, the water was so blue and beautiful...

The second layout I am sharing was created for the C.S.I. Color Stories Inspiration challenge #257 which was to document something summer...  So again I found a photo of my Dd when we had a summer holiday and created my page..

some closer views..

I popped a shell just lightly swiped with gesso in my flower cluster and a little frame is peeking out there too..

The fabulous Diamond Mesh is one of my favourite chippies to add some texture.

I put my chipboard banner pieces through two different embossing folders and I love the added interest the texture has given to the banner.. A light swipe with gesso using my finger is all I have put on them... The word summer was painted with gesso and then the same water color I used on the back ground in places.

My layout..

Ah I love going to the beach in summer time!!!

and the Scrapmatts I have used for this layout..

Creating with Scrapmatts and C.S.I.

Hello there,
Can you believe we are in August, my word this year is flying by... I hope you are getting some creative time to enjoy each month!!?

Last month Scrapmatts was a generous sponsor of the challenges over at CSI : Color, Stories, Inspiration and as a part of the Scrapmatts Design Team I joined in too, using wonderful products from the SCRAPMATTS STORE.

The first challenge for July was this one..
to use the colors, at least three clues and one testimony..  and this is what I created.

Some closer views.

Fabulous stencilling using the Stencil Triangles.

I love the Floral Design embossed in pink glitter.

And also the Lavender was embossed in pink too and layered over the Triangle chipboard.

Happiness is here!

And here is a list of the SCRAPMATTS products I have used for this layout..

This challenge had a lovely summery feel to the colors and so I used a photo from a beach holiday.. And this was my take on the challenge using SCRAPMATTS products..

Some closer views..

I added some texture to the back ground using the Plus Sign Stencil which matched the plus sign stamp!!

September creating with Lizzy.

Hello there, I hope your day is going well!

I would like to share two layouts I have created using some wonderful SCRAPMATTS products which I will list with a link to the SCRAPMATTS ONLINE STORE.

The first layout is a beachy one. I just love going to the beach and usually take lots of photos which I need to scrap. The photo I have used on my layout is of my daughter exploring the rocks and I have cut it into three for something different.  I have used some lovely SCRAPMATTS chipboard shells which I have left raw..

For some added interest I have also used the fabulous RETRO SQUARES 01 and also some GRASS to the sides of my photos. And my title came from the SCRAPWORDS 24,  I also did a little line of stencilling using the TILE STENCIL along the top of my page... and my layout..

On my second layout that I would like to share with you, I have used some beautiful chipboard and some stencils. I have used the stencils two ways, one way is to use texture paste, and the second way is to just lay your stencil down on your layout and lightly spray with mist.
You can see the two ways I have used the stencils in this close up view of my page.

I have painted my beautiful chipboard with black gesso to make them stand out. I have also used drops of purple kindy glitz to add some sparkle..  And my layout..

Exquisite Beauty.

I will list all the Scrapmatts products I have used on my layout.. I hope you can see them all!
