March Layouts with Christine

Good day.  Scrapmatts is one of the major sponsors and March guest designers for CSI - Colors, Inspirations and Stories challenge blog.  And now I get to share with you my take on their two current case files. 

 

First up is Case File #225:

 

 

This is also a major case file which includes a sketch courtesy of The Nifty Pixel as pictured above.  My five evidences are: buntings, washi tape, things that fly, circles and wood.  My testimony is handwriting on the background, and I’ve stuck to the sketch using one feature photo.  Here’s how I solved the case:

 

 

Scrapmatts chipboards: Birds (CB5045), Floral Spray (CB5045), Assorted Words (CB6115)

 

Scrapmatts stencils: Honeycomb (ST9002-A4), Bubbles (ST5001), Halftone Circles (ST5006), Circles (ST5043)

 

I've painted most of the chipboards white and some with the green shade from the case.  I've applied paste, mist, and paint on varying stencils to build the base of the background.

 

Next up is Case File #226:

 

 

My evidences are strings, animal, plants, and transparent stuff.  I've included all the colors of the case and my testimony is my journaling which is written at the back of my layout:   It makes me happy scrapping and looking back at the moments when you're growing up to be a girly girl.  This is the first time you tried on some bubblegum lip gloss that you got from a party loot bag, and boy oh boy you loved it!

 

Here's my layout:

 

 

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Circle Mesh (CB5130), Assorted Words (CB6116), Cats (CB1014), Leaf Spray (CB5166), Scrap Words (CB1238)

 

 

The #look at me chipboards are given a good coat of pink glimmer mist to match the case colors, and the rest of the chipboards have been painted white. 

 

 

I had fun creating these layouts and it got the seal of approval from both of my girls.  Thanks for popping in and don't forget to check out the CSI case files here.  There's amazing prizes to be won, including Scrapmatts goodies.

 

Cheers,

 

 

 

 

 

A Layout & A Little Something by Christine

Hi everyone.  Christine here posting a couple of Scrapmatts projects.  I got excited as soon as I got my hands on the Triangles stencil, so I created with it straight away and this is what I came up with:

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Page Borders (CB2003); Twig Frame (CB6086); Grass (CB5099); Cats (CB1014); Black Scrap Words (CB1197)

Scrapmatts Stencils: Triangles (ST5033); Leaf Sprays (ST5004)

This layout features daddy's little helpers.  Every winter, the girls always piles the firewood in the wheelbarrow, then brings them in the house ready for the fireplace.

  I’ve applied some modeling paste through the Triangles Stencil and added a splash of green mist to match the lush color of the grass.  I’ve also done the same process with the stenciled Leaf Sprays, one of my favorite Scrapmatts stencil.

How adorable is the Cat chipboard? I've inked this cat chipboard, as well as the Grass and Page Borders chipboards.  For the Twig Frame, I simply painted the wooden branch and leaves in brown and green.  It's finished off with a couple of Black Scrap Words for the title.

Next up is a heavenly ATC Card:

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Rounded Corner ATCs (ATC10-008); Flourishes (CB1003); Stars (CB1223); Leaves(CB1115); Burnt Cream Scrapwords (CB1200)

Scrapmatts Stencil: Borders (ST1010)

I’ve used 2 ATCs and punched 2 holes on one side, and tied them with ribbons to double this ATC as a card as well.  For a layer of texture in front of the ATC, I’ve applied some texture paste through the Borders stencil. 

I’ve added some texture and color to the leaves chipboard and then layered them behind the angel’s wings.  This angel is also lying on the Courage Burnt Cream Scrapword chipboard.  For the Flourishes and Stars chipboards, I’ve simply painted them white and layered them on the ATC card.
