Handful Of Happiness & Baby Shower Gift Tag by Kim

Hello....hello dearest friends of 

Scrapmatts!

Kim here with you to share a couple of things I have created using some gorgeous

SCRAPMATTS PRODUCTS

Firstly, I will share a layout, created using one of the fabulous 

Creative Titles

Let me show you....

{ A Handful Of Happiness}

 I love this little photo of my gorgeous Daughter-In- Law with her two cheeky little men.

Such a fun little shot!

 Scrapmatts Products Used:

Scrap Words 40 (CB1257)

Scrap Words 34 (CB1251)

Doorway 01 (CB5118)

Stencil Pattern (9066)

White Lace Flowers (LM005)

The second project I put together is a Baby Shower Gift Tag for a very special Mumma-to-be

 I made the base of the tag from thick cardboard and I used Prima Flower packaging (The cardboard the flowers come stuck to....if you look at these the basic shapes are fabulous to trace around to create tag shapes.) I then glued some paper to my cut out base, let it dry and cut my tag out.

 I then added muslin, the lace flowers, Scrapmatts chipboard, flowers and twine.

As an after thought I added a touch of machine stitching......(Which of course I should have done as one of my first steps!) 

 Lastly I punch a hole through the top of my tag and added some gorgeous, pretty white ribbon.

APRIL CREATING WITH SCRAPMATTS..

Hello there,
Here we are into April already..  I hope you had a lovely Easter break, catching up with family or things around the home or whatever fills your day!

I have a couple of cards and a layout of a very special little person in my life to share with you today..  So which should I share first??? humm....  Oh I think the layout!! In February, I became a Grandma, so I have lots of special photos to scrap of my darling little Grand daughter.. So I thought I would use some baby themed  SCRAPMATTS  Chipboard on my page..  You can check out the BABY AND CHILDREN section at the ONLINE SHOP HERE!!!!

So just sharing some closer views.

I just had to use this gorgeous Baby Pram which I have firstly gessoed, then painted with a soft peachy color water color paint, and added some beaded trim and a touch of lace. I have also lightly stenciled some hearts on the back ground with a dauber and pink stamping ink..

I have colored the "Hello" word the same as the Pram.. and can you see the cute little ladybird pin? such a sweet little chipboard embellishment!!

And I have placed my adorable photo inside this lovely swirl frame and ran a string of Kaisercraft Rhinestones around the centre for some sparkle.. and there is another little butterfly pin chipboard!!

and my layout..

This photo was taken when my Grand Daughter was only a few hours old... I think she is oh so beautiful!!

Here is a list of the SCRAPMATTS PRODUCTS  I have used for my layout...

And I have a couple of cards I have made using some SCRAPMATTS on them....  now look away if you are not wanting to even think about Christmas yet, as I have made two cards for this occasion which just seems to come around wayyyy too quickly each year...  so I am just trying to get myself organized.. (cough cough)!!
I like simple when it comes to cards so these can be whipped up in a few minutes!!

The first one I have had a play with the MERRY CHRISTMAS STENCIL on some white cardstock covered with green paint and I cut out a piece for the front of my card..Used some dies and popped on some chipboard for the sentiment and it was done!!

The Scrapmatts I have used for this card...

And the second card is just as simple using a Christmas tree chipboard coated in a glitter paint and decorated with sequins, some hand made flowers and leaves using dies, and a Scrapmatts sentiment!!
