Joy - just a little bit Christmassy!!!

Hello there,
How is your October going? hummm yes the year is flying by..  Today I would like to share with you a layout that is oh so very Christmassy!! And of course it is loaded with beautiful SCRAPMATTS  products! You can check out the huge selection of Christmas themed chipboard in the STORE HERE!!!!

ok... So I had a few of these frames..

and I thought I would do something different with them..  so I cut them in half and embossed them in a fabulous glittery blue..

I then proceeded to add some wonderful stars on my back ground paper with the Stencil Stars and when that was dry I created my layout with a Christmas theme..

some closer views..

And this is how I used the frames, layered and placed around my photos, they look so good I think, and the stars are perfect for a festive theme... I love the beautiful word "Joy" too, covered in kindy glitz for sparkle!!

And I also cut up the String Circle frame and placed it around my photos ... I love the dimension the sweet stars add to the back ground with the stencilled stars...

and my layout...

Joy...

The flowers were made by me  and I love how pretty the Holly leaves look painted silver and pink using water colors.

And here is a list of the SCRAPMATTS I have used..

ST5002 Stencil Stars 
 

CB6111 Assorted Words 27 

 

CB6040 Arch Window Frame 03 

 

CB1183 Christmas Ornaments 10  

 

CB5138 String Circles 02 
 

CB5164 Holly 05 



Don't be afraid to cut up your chipboard to place around your page to suit the design, it makes the chipboard go further rather then be hidden under your photos.. You can add color to your chipboards with water colors, paints, gel pens, kindy glitz and embossing powders..

Thank you for dropping by the blog today, and remember to pop in regularly as new creations are being added all the time..   Until next time...  Happy Scrapmatting!!

Christmas Comes Early - Lauren Tomecek

I LOVE Christmas and especially Christmas crafts, so it's a good thing that Scrapmatts has an amazing range of Christmas chipboard which is updated every year. I've started my Christmas crafting early this year and created two projects to share today.

 

 

First up we have this fold-out scene box. I have created this from an old cereal box and a video tutorial from here. You can see some of the depth in the box in these detail shots.

 

 

I have used CB6082 Christmas Trees 04, CB1105 Santa with Reindeers 01, CB1106 Trees 04, CB1096 Reindeers 05 and CB1058 Words 11 Season's Greetings.

And here is what it looks like all folded up:

 

 

My second project is a layout featuring my brother (shh, he doesn't know I scrapped this!). Can you tell I love the reindeer chippies? 

 

 

I have struggled to paint the star bursts in these ornaments every time I use them but this time I think I nailed it. I painted them with a pin head rather than paintbrush. :)

Scrapmatts chipboard used: CB1215 Scrap Words 17, CB1183 Christmas Ornaments 10, CB1212 Scrap Words 14 and CB1096 Reindeers 05.

 

 

Hope you all have a great Christmas, don't forget to share your projects with us over at the Ning gallery.

Cards...and a little bit of christmas

Hello everyone! I've been making a few cards lately and I embellished them with Scrapmatts chippies. Hope you like them!

Here I used the lovely "Life" chipboard (CB1134 Assorted Words 01)as sentiment, isn't it cute? 

In my second card I chose the gorgeous CB6091 Ornate Frames 19 

And now on to my christmas projects...I know, I know, it's still summer...but if I don't start early I won't have them ready on time!!

I love love love those christmas ornaments (CB1183 Christmas Ornaments 10), so I wanted to feature them in my card. 

I really liked those "Laugh" chipboard, it's so cute! (CB6103 Scrap Words 21) and I also used CB5052 Floral Spray 02
