April Creating with Lizzy.

 Hello there! I hope you are having a lovely day.. I am sharing my April Creating with you today.. 

Although the weather we are having here is absolutely splendid, I do love the beach so I have a beachy layout to share. And when it is a photo of my Granddaughter, then you know I have enjoyed creating this page!! I found lots of Scrapmatts to use too!

How about some closer views of my layout..  I started with some water colors paints that I splodged over my back ground.. Then I used a fabulous Scrapmatts shell stencil to add some interest and texture.. 

I used two colors on the back ground, a blue and a light brown..

   

Now to begin embellishing!

Some closer views..

I love this castle, I think we all have built a sand castle at the beach before!! I have used the same water color on the chipboard as what I used on the back ground.. 

Just the cutest beach umbrella!!

 

And a touch of sunshine with this sun chippie!! Painted a soft yellow!!

 

And these Scrap Words are great for popping on a page!

Perfect Beach Day!

And here are the Scrapmatts I have used on my layout with a link to where to find them at the online store!

August Creating with Lizzy..

Gidday Gidday!

Lizzy here with two layouts I have created using beautiful Scrapmatts Chipboard.. I must have been feeling very Australian when I created these layouts as I have used the fabulous Gum Leaves on both pages!!

The first page was inspired by the photos of my Grand Daughter visiting a wild life park in the Hunter Valley.. She got up close to some wallabies so I found Scrapmatts has the perfect chippies for this experience!

some closer views..

 

This Title was great for my layout..

 

I love these cute gum nuts, and they were simply colored with water color paints.. and how cool is the barbed wire!!??

 

And these cute Wallabies also painted with water color paints.. I used a few colors until I was happy with the shading.. (These paints are the sets you can get from any cheap shop.. they work well!)

 

And the Gum Leaves also painted with water colors and layered over the papers for some dimension.. There is also some leaf stencilling on the background.. 

my layout.. 

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used and where you can find them in the online store..

I painted the Gum Leaves with water color and added a little bit of sparkle with glitter glue!

 

And I just had to add some stars and I used gold gel pen to color them...
