November Creating with Lizzy.

 Hello there! I hope your day is going well.. Here we are in November.. This year is getting along so quickly!

I have two layouts to share with you today and I hope they inspire you in your Scrapmatts creations.

For my first layout I have used a photo of my Son in the middle of a jam session.. He has been a Drum player since High School and he really gets involved in his playing.. I have used several different Scrapmatts chipboard pieces and a favourite stencil..

some closer views..

 

I think this title is perfect for my page and for my son.. I popped some bling on the notes of the music chipboard for some sparkle. I have used a Music Score Border chipboard that was painted navy blue. (For those who read music, this is the music to Happy Birthday, but I loved it for the way the notes sweep across the layout.. there are no rules to how we use embellishments, I go by the look of them. Having said that this chipboard would be perfect for a Birthday layout too!!)

 

I stencilled some stars onto the back ground and popped some chippy stars painted navy for some dimension..

 

Another closer view of the Music Chipboard..

 

I popped some Chevrons painted navy on the Retro Squares chipboard.. Layering chipboard looks great I think!

Live every moment..

The second layout I would like to share is with a photo of my Daughter at the Brisbane Ekka some years ago.. She has a country heart and while she lives in the City, the country life is a part of her.. While at the Show she was able to get close to some cows while they were resting in their stalls..

And Scrapmatts had a perfect country Chippies for me to use!!

Some closer views..

 

I popped a few special little words around the page.. I thought the Barbed Wire frame was great for my layout !!

 

Some Chipboard flowers colored and flower sequins popped on for sparkle..

 

How cute are the chippy Cows!!?? 

I love them!!! Simply colored with an ink pad. I added some color to this one with a gel pen.. I love the windmill too.. My dad had one on his farm when I was growing up.

Love is kind.

September Creating with Lizzy..

Hello there,
For us in Australia it is Spring.. a really lovely time of the year!

For my creating this month I have a layout and a card using some lovely Scrapmatts products!

For my layout I wanted to scrap a photo of my Grand Daughter enjoying a yummy ice cream!
And I was delighted to find some Scrapmatts words that were perfect for this moment!

some closer views.

 

I have used a pretty stencil using some pink paint mixed into texture paste to add some interest to the back ground of my layout.

 

I painted the Flourishes in green and cut them in half to suit how I wanted to use them..(That pretty page border is an older Scrapmatts from my stash )

 

A close up of one of the Scrap Words and the little flowers I colored with a blue ink to add some blue to match the colors in the photo..

my layout..

Humm that ice cream looks good!!  

And here is a list of the Scrapmatts that I have used with  a link to the online shop!

I also made a card while I had these papers out..  I like my cards to be simple and relatively flat for easy posting..

a little closer view..

 

I used a Scrapmatts sentiment and I love how it fits so neatly in the frame.. 

my card..

 

I fussy cut the flowers and layered them on the Frame and added some glitter glue for sparkle.. And I love the detail the Federation Corners add to the card too..
