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..

 

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used..

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.

 Hello There

Welcome to October.

Wow this month has flown by.

So today I want to share with you some recent layouts I completed with Scrapmatts Chipboard.

SWEET BABY BOY

October Creating with Lizzy.

 Hello there! Here we are in October and I am popping in to share what I have created this month for Scrapmatts!

I have a Card and Layout to share with you. 

The card I have created has one of my favorite frames as centerpiece..  I have left it in its raw state.. 

A closer view..

 

The leaves I have shaded  with glitter gel pens until I was happy with the colors. 

 

A simple but pretty card and easy to post as it is quite flat too..  I will pop this into my card collection for an upcoming Birthday ready to send!!

And here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used on my card..

CB1244 Scrap Words 30 

 

CB6090 Ornate Frames 18 

 

 

CB5166 Leaf Spray 15

The layout I have created uses the bigger frame from the Ornate Frame pack and I just patted the frame lightly with a white stamp pad to lighten it a little..

some closer views..

 

I have used some lace and layered the Floral Spray over that and popped a fussy cut rose from the papers on that. The Scrap Words are always handy to have in your stash to pop on your page.

 

A touch of stencilling on the back ground to add some interest.. and some liquid pearls on the Floral Spray to add some dimension to the Chipboard.

May Creating with Lizzy.

Hello there,
How are you today? I trust you are keeping well and I am so happy you have come by the Scrapmatts blog today.

I have a layout and a card to share with you.

I had a really special photo of my Daughter and her Fiance and my Granddaughter that I wanted to frame on my page.. So I looked in my Scrapmatts and found the gorgeous  Hanging Hearts Chipboard that I thought would be perfect!! Let me share some closer views to highlight the lovely Scrapmatts products I have used..

I popped a few stencilled Hearts on my back ground

I covered the chipboard hearts with paper that had been embossed to add some texture..

And my photo that is framed by this gorgeous Scrapmatts Heart Frame.. It is simply painted white with white gesso with some pretty pink rhinestones glued randomly around the frame.. I used string to attach the other hearts and make little bows on the frame..

To make the photo fit inside the frame I used the heart as a template to draw on my photo and then I cut my photo out..

It is then a matter of layering the photo between the frame and the heart backing chipboard..

And the Scrapmatts title completes my layout..

and my layout..

And here are the Scrapmatts I have used..

ST5035 Stencil Hearts


CB5112 Hanging Hearts 01 



CT059 Love This Moment



And I created a simple card that I would like to share with you.

I like cards that are reasonably flat so they can be posted.. I have colored the Rose chipboard with black to make them a feature.. They are so intricate and pretty.. a few mauve rhinestones to add a little pop of sparkle and match the flowers..

and the Scrapmatts I have used..

CB1202 Roses 02


CB1198 Scrap Words 06



CB1270 Scrap Words 52



The Butterfly from CB4012 Frames 02
