''Inspire'' Wtih Rikki Graziani

Good evening , cutting it fine with this months post as the month has gotten away from me... but I am here so all is good....

Tonight I am sharing with you a boy and a girl layout using the same collection of papers but by changing up the chipboard you can get two amazing layouts for your albums.

How amazing is this piece of chipboard!!!!!

Not Just For the Boyz !!!

Not Just For The Boyz

Good Morning

Welcome to my November Blog Post for Scrapmatts

Not just for the Boyz

Just last weekend I attended a fabulous retreat in Bruce Rock (Western Australia) where I was able to find my mojo and got a lot of layouts completed.

The layout below features lots of chipboard from Scrapmatts.

The photo was taken of my daughter enjoying the ATV's in Bali. 

Who said its just for boyz??

For this layout I have used the Edge of Town Collection from Scrapberry's.

The collectables are from the factory 42 collection from Kaisercraft.

It has a great grunge feel to it. So I had to pull out the cogs and barbed wire.

To create the background I used 2 stencils. 

I have used a blending tool with black gesso to create texture.

I used white gesso to create the flicks on the page.

This is my second layout.

I have used the same paper collection and added Factory 42 collectables.

The cogs and barb wire are from the leftover chipboard.

To create the colour on the cogs, I used Finnabair Rust Paste - Camouflage.

To colour the barb wire I used the Uniquely Creative Black Glitter Pen.

To add some texture and depth, I also added some squares which I have coloured with the Black Glitter pen.

November Scrapping with Lisette

Wow doesn't time fly.  Almost missed this post - made it just in time.

I caught up with the lovely Sofie and Andrew on Saturday and the Paper Craft Show.  I now have some the latest Chipboard and Stencils and I am very excited to have a play with them.  Hopefully I will be able to have a play with them soon.  Fingers crossed.

My first layout for November is my DT layout for Made to Scrap - the Aussie Way challenge.  I love how this layout ended up.  I don't often use soft pretty colours and this piece of Coco Vanilla paper was perfect with some added watercolours.

Products Used:-


 Stencil 9050 hearts





 CB6117 Assorted Words 30



CB1158 Butterflies 20


CB5177 Wildflowers 04

 My next layout is one of the Rhinoceros' at Mogo Zoo on the South Coast of NSW.  We had a fabulous day there last April.  Love this layout too, quite simple!

Products used:-

Thank you for having a look at my layouts and how I have used the lovely Scrapmatts Chipboards and Stencils.  This is a very busy time of year but hopefully you will be able to get some time to create.

Until December - Happy Scrapping

November Creations with Scrapmatts.

Hello there,
Are you getting excited for the end of another year?
This month is a busy one for me, I have my Daughters Year 12 Graduation and a Wedding, so lots to keep me busy this month... But first I must share two layouts I have created using wonderful Scrapmatts products!!

The first layout is of my Daughter. We are blessed to live in a country area and have 5 acres of land.. Down the back of our place on the creek bank we have some beautiful gum trees, and I have used a photo of my Daughter leaning on one of them... Well Scrapmatts have some lovely Australian themed chipboard and stencils and I used some fabulous Gum Leaves and Gum Nuts on my page..

Some closer views..

I have colored the Gum Nuts and Gum Leaves and added them to the papers which were perfect for my page..  Can you tell what is Chipboard and what is paper???  I used water colors to achieve the colors on the chipboard..

And I love this lovely Federation corner with a kookaburra on it as we have lots of the happy birds living in our trees!

Moments.

I love how this page turned out with the fabulous Gum leaves and nuts chipboard..

Here is a list of what Scrapmatts I have used..

CB1239 Scrap Words 25



CB5065 Federation Corners 10



CB5147 Gum Leaves 01



CB5148 Gum Leaves 02


The second layout I would like to share is of my Darling Grand Daughter.. Yes I became a Grandma this year, and what a delight that is for me, as most of my friends are all Grandparents, so now my Hubby and I are enjoying all that comes with Grandchildren.. but oh... they grow so fast! I am trying to keep up with the monthly milestones, but am finding the months are going so quickly! So I grabbed the photo of her at 7 months and scrapped it!! And all I used for my layout are those gorgeous Wildflower chipboards.. they are so sweet on my page!

A couple of close ups.

I traced around the chipboard flower and added a backing to the flower. I love how this looks.. I simply added some pink stickles to the paper part and some liquid pearl dots to the centers of the flowers.. The leaves were colored with glitter pens..

I put the sweet photo in the lovely frame and I think my simple page looks very effective giving my precious photo the attention it deserves.

7 months.

Isn't she the cutest!! well I certainly think so!! I love how pretty those Wildflower chipboard look on my page..

And I used..

Well I hope you are inspired from today's post, thanks so much for dropping by.. I know the days seem to get busier from now on for most of us... I do hope you get some creative time in the midst of it!
Until next time,
Happy Scrapmatting!
