Welcome to November @ Scrapmatts!




Hello, hello.....dear friends of Scrapmatts!!

Kim here to kick off the month with a few of my recent creations!
Today I will be sharing a layout & a few cards!

The layout I am sharing today is one I had planned on entering into last months (October) challenge over at Kraft+.......The Challenge was called: I Can See Clearly Now
It involved using something see-through on your layout.
As most of you would know, I have been creating a lot of shaker cards & shaker tags lately, so I thought 'Why not do a sort of, Shaker layout???
Here is what I came up with.

 Love this photo of my grandsons, Flynn & Angus

Ho Ho Holy Christmas....




 Ho Ho Holy Christmas....

 I can't believe that we are only 10 days from Christmas and fast approaching the New Year.

Hello again. 
Are we all organised for Christmas? 
This month really is the silly season. I have been so busy with work, Christmas parties, appointments, market stalls that I haven't had much time to create. 
So it was nice to finally get into my craft space and design.

The first of my projects I would like to share with you is a mini clipboard.

I started by covering with Christmas paper. I think from memory this is a Simple Stories range.
 It's been in my Christmas stash for some time.


 I then used the ST5042 Star Stencil to add some detail to the background.
With the CB5158 Triangles, I pulled them apart, painted them with Picket Fence Distress Paint and added to them to the background. 
When I look at these they resemble Christmas Trees.
 To finish off the clipboard, I attached the CB5164 Holly 05 to the top of the frame and added a CB5144 Layered Poinsettia to the bottom of the frame.
 The gold Polaroid frame came with the mini clipboard.
 To colour the Poinsettia and Holly I used my alcohol ink markers and to give the sparkly effect, I used my glitter pen from CTMH.
 To finish off the frame I used the CB Assorted Words 19 - Christmas Memories. 
This was inked in Silver.

 The picture is of my daughter from a couple of years ago when we had photo booth props to take Christmas pics.


Here is a list of the products used in this project

 




The second project I would like to share with you is a set of 3 Christmas Cards.

 To create these cards I have used watercolour pencils, background stamp, ST1026 - Bubbles Stencil and CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments and CB1229 - Chains

 
Firstly using watercolour paper, take the stencil and colour inside the circles in your desired colours.
Then take your watercolour pen and water wash the colours.
Then stamp the background.
I then added a border with my black marker pen.
 
   
 I used the CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments and the CB1229 - Chains 02 to decorate.
Some I have left raw and the others I have inked in Gold and Silver.
 I love how these have turned out and they were quick and easy.

These are the products I have used to create these cards

'Christmas Creations'




Hello all  :)

Kim here to share with you some festive creations!

Each year I like to have a Christmas theme, just to make it a little more exciting 
(mainly for me).
This Christmas I thought I would go for a Scandinavian theme.....so think of natural, earthy colours.

Here are a few of the Christmas tree decorations I have made!
I simply grabbed some material in desired colours
 (I still want to add some brown tones). Using 
some good old  Christmas cookie cutters, I traced around the shapes & cut them out. 
I then stitched them mostly together, added some stuffing & finished off the stitching.

I then either stitched or glued the Scrapmatts Words/elements into 
place.

 I also added lace and tiny twine to a few.


 I really like how these little decorations turned out....very easy to make &
very cost effective and the best thing is they are original.
 

I hope you have enjoyed reading my post and before I go....
I would like to wish you all a truly wonderful
Christmas & a Happy and Healthy 2016!

And if you are traveling please keep safe

All the best

Celebration Layouts - Lauren Tomecek

I was going through my collection of pre-printed photos and came across this series of Christmas photos I took of Harrison last year. The DIY photoshoot was so much fun and I really liked the results but for some reason I haven't scrapped them yet. I couldn't resist this little face though. :)
 
 
I loved the plain string circles Andrew and Sofie released a while ago but recently they made them even better by adding stars, dots and arrows to the circles. I've used the stars version here (CB5138 String Circles 02) embossed in gold, along with CB1097 Floral Spray 01, CB1212 Scrap Words 14 and CB6097 Assorted Words 19.
 
 
For my birthday back in May three of my girlfriends took me on a 'surprise adventure', they only told me to get Ben to look after Harry for a few hours and then took me away. We had lunch (at a sadly disappointing Greek café) and then went to Escape Hunt. It's an escape-the-room game where you have to solve a variety of different puzzles to get through three rooms to get the code to get out. It was quite a lot of fun.
 
 
I have used CB6105 Assorted Words 23, CB6106 Assorted Words 24 and CB5031 Mini Frames 01. The camera embellishment and yellow twine were also left over from a Scrapmatts class I did at an expo.

A Few Cards with Kim :)




Hello all, Kim here to share a few cards I have made, lately!

The first one is a sweet birthday card made for one of my daughters close friends.

 I kept the colours & the design simple.
 I whipped this up in about half an hour.

For this card I used Scrapmatts

The next two projects are Christmas related.......
I know... but you all know how fast it creeps up on us every single year!
(Just getting a little head start!)



SCRAPMATTS has the most amazing range of Christmas chipboard, that
makes the most beautiful touch to your homemade cards!

 For this card I chose to keep the Holly in its raw state & the Christmas
sentiment was just perfect!


SCRAPMATTS has a gorgeous range of reindeer's to choose from.
With this little fella I just used brown ink to colour him!
With the sentiment 'Joy' I just painted it using gesso.
 

 I do hope you like my creations and maybe I've got you thinking about 
starting on your own Christmas creations?

Make sure you pop on over to the Scrapmatts Ning site and checkout the other DT 
creations?!

Thanks for stopping by

Kim
