Happy New Year

Hello and welcome to my first post for 2017.

I hope you all had a great New Year and that you have found time to be creative.

Today I would like to share with you my latest DT project for Scrapmatts.

"Look At Me Now"

This page has been designed with Authentique "Felicity" papers, 45 and Market flowers and fabulous chipboard from Scrapmatts.

I really love these papers and the CB4007 Frame was a perfect fit for my photo. 

I coloured all the chipboard with Gold Ink. 

I then embellished with flowers and used collectables from my stash to match the papers.

I added the title from CB6116 Words. These were great as they came pre-coloured in black.

Look @ me now words from CB6116 Words 29

Always Smiling Word is from CB1241 Scrap Words

For the second page I wanted to frame my photo's, so I found the CB4017 Picket Fence was just the right fit. 

The photo's were taken last year in Bali on our Scrapbook Retreat on the rooftop of our hotel which had a garden. So I wanted my layout to have that summer garden feel. So picket fences, flowers and butterflies seemed appropriate.

I also felt great as by the time these photo's were taken, I had lost 38kgs. So I was feeling fabulous.

Picket fence is from CB4017

This scroll is from CB4063 Leaf Spray

The butterflies are from the CB4007 Frames

2017

Family Affair by: Rhonda

Yep, I'm back again with some more delights

for you all and this time it is the usual two creations

jam-packed with some awesome

Scrapmatts chipboards & stencils.

The first is a canvas that features one of my

life's loves in that of my Son and the other is a layout

featuring another love being my Daughter (with her partner).

Live Life

& Make The Most Of Today

On the blank canvas I used ST1002 Diamonds as well as

ST5033 Triangles and ST1024 Gears on the

front and side to give a bit of texture.

On these I sprayed colours to enhance the stencilling.

Next I layered hessian, paper & corrugated cardboard (all

of earthy colours) to match the design I was

looking for as a background for the photo.

Added to these background components I also

applied colours like I did with the canvas

Under the photo & backing I placed CB1232 Film Strip 05 with

CB2006 Page Border 05 at the bottom and a

piece of that same border at the top alongside

a hand crafted barbed wire.

The rounded arrowheads of CB5140 String Circles 04

wasn't big enough for what I wanted so I adapted two.

CB5132 Chains 01 was round but I stretched it

into an oval to highlight the subject.

I am never at a loss with the massive selection Scrapmatts

offer when it comes to matching Scrap Words with

my creations and on this occasion CB6112 Scrap Words 31

was where my search ended for the canvas title...

You & Me

The base of this one starts like many layouts with a

piece of patterned paper over cardstock.

The purpose of placing the bulk of the work to the

lower section was to create space for the lamp

and for it to look like it was illuminating the image.

Scrapmatts Frame 02 CB4007 was the perfect match

for the picture I had chosen and the sheer size of it

meant it was going to be the main focus point.

Behind this I placed a bit of coloured gauze and

littered the page with an accompaniment of

flowers and embellishments.

A little depth was added to the photo by placing a

small scrap of cardboard behind it.

This close up gives an idea of how the gauze was

layered and how well it worked and

softened the edge of the stencils

ST1032 Plus Signs & ST 1037 Bling

A very much appropriate CB6105 Assorted Words 23,

married well with the overall look & theme

Without these two large flowers the layout was looking

bare & unfinished and I was pleased with

the fullness they afforded.

Two layouts and a card

Hi everyone! I have a few works I'd like to share, all of them using Scrapmatts chipboards

For this page I decided to use the gorgeous rose vine chipboard CB2023 Roses 01 , which I really love. I also added a butterfly from the set CB4007 Frames 02, and for the title I used CB6071 Assorted Words 07. 

In this layout I used a gorgeous swirl frame (CB4007 Frames 02) and the butterflies included in the same set, painted with white acrylic paint and stamped with a script stamp. I also used a border chippie at the bottom (CB6043 Card Borders 05)

Finally, I made this easel card and used some pretty chipboards to embellish it (CB1004 Flourishes 05 and CB1220 Ornate Frames 22)
