Family & Friends are a Blessing

Welcome to March

My favourite month of the year.

My Birthday Month!!

I just celebrated 48 years young!!

So this month I am sharing a double page layout with you using some fabulous Scrapmatts chipboard and the gorgeous papers from Uniquely Creative called Urban Garden.

I wanted to celebrate my gorgeous Family & Friends and what better way than to scrapbook them!!!

Here is my layout.

FRIENDS

A touch of Magic

Good Morning Crafters,

Its Danni here stopping by to share something a little magical.

I'm hoping when you see what I have for you I can be forgiven for running a day late.

Technology at times is a mystery to me...

But Scrapbooking is something I do understand and is something I can certainly navigate...

So lets get onto the fun stuff!!

I recently visited Artvo in the City.

For those of you from Melbourne its a great afternoon out.

But be ready for plenty of snaps and a little fun play!!!

I loved the image and wanted something just as magical to fit it.

So I got started using plain white cardstock and layered that onto a chipboard base.

This project gets wet so it really needs the extra re-enforcement to prevent any warping on the layout.

The supplies you will need for this

CB2009 Page Borders 08

CB6109 Lamps 11

CB4071 String Circles 07

CB4060 Ornate Frames 17

Gesso, Gel Medium and tissue paper.

I started by layering my chipboard pieces in my chosen pattern

The CB4071 String Circles I decided to keep one of the inserts to thicken the frame around my image.

I added the CB4060 Ornate frame pieces at this time.

This was then coated with a Heavy White Gesso

You can see the effects of leaving the frame combined here.

Once the Gesso was dry I then added the Gel Medium and tissue paper in sections

around my chipboard.

After this next step I then added the CB6109 Lamp and the CB2009 Page Borders

layered over the top.

Some chain was removed from the top of the page and I inserted this into my layout.

I added the paper flowers also at this time

This was all then coated with a final layer of Heavy White Gesso.

Once dry it was time to add Colour and a lot of it.

You can use any collection of colours you like and just be prepared for time

and layers.

This is all about creating the richness in the layers of colour.

Using shimmer pots and a paintbrush I added more depth to the colour to the chipboard

pieces to make them really come to life.

This was completed in stages using multiple colours.

It was also added over the tissue paper area and flowers.

The final layer was added to finish it with a touch of Gold.

The gold really pops adding another level of richness.

I'm in love with the final result...

The chipboard really pops and adds to the magic of my little fairy.

Lastly I have a card created as an invitation,
I liked creating something a little different for this one.
(Yes none of the details will make sense because I jumbled them)

It has a shabby chic feel about it and features
CB1202 Roses 02
CB6110 Ornate Frames 25

The pieces blend beautifully and I have to say the roses are quick becoming a new
favourite.

I love there detail.
The Ornate Frame pieces add beautiful old world feel.

I hope you enjoyed a peak at what I've been up to! I love to see what you have been working on and how you featured Scrapmatts Chipboard in your projects.

For all these Chipboard goodies and more head to

All things Scrapmatts by Danielle Vertigan

Hi its Danni here today,

To say things have been hectic is an understatement.

I've lost track of days and months but on the bright side I've enjoyed an

amazing trip exploring this vast country of ours and due to an

injury I just may have snuck is some scrapping as we went.

I've got a bit of a gallery for you today sharing all things Scrapmatts from some of my favourite

layouts.

A flourish can be added to just about anything and boy what a feature do they make

when they are embossed.

Here they are accompanied by the Word Tiles!

These are just one of the most effective little gems.

CB1003 Flourish 04

CB1206 Scrap Words 09

The CB5102 Window 02 was absolutely perfect to showcase this little man.

I removed the ledge and embossed the frame to welcome Beau.

CB6084 Alphabet Flags 01 I left raw and used them as my title.

Who doesn't love string Circles!!

So I've slipped in this piece for a peak.

CB5114 String Circles 01

I had a lot of fun with this one.

Its amazing what we can do with left over pieces.

Particularly when using sets we can often put pieces aside and forget about them.

There to long. not quite right.....

In this layout I have trimmed some down and separated others to wrap around my layout.

This is a great way to utilise your pieces and maximise there effect.

Here I've used

CB4069 Ornate Frames 26

CB4060 Ornate Frames 17

CB4034 Floral Design 01

I have a new favourite stencil!

ST5005

Its featured recently in 2 of my layouts and I just wanted to share how

fabulous it is.

I think the best part is how this stencil creates all the embellishment these layouts needed.

I hope you can take away some inspiration from this and us it on your next project.

Family things......

Good morning Rikki here today with my creative share for the month, and I have to say I am excited about sharing this today. About three month I decided that I would embark on a little task of creating an art journal (well maybe not too little I ended up with a massive A3 Art Journal).

I have had other art journals I often use them as ''practice'' runs for new techniques/ ideas but beyond that point thats all they where used for....

So I definitely wanted to evolve this into something that was ''art'' and something for my children to flick through with positive affirmations, something that they could go to, to feel positive if they where having a bad day.....

CB4060 Ornate Frames 17

Another project that I am trying to encourage my children to journal and scrapbook sort of... they often dont like to sit down for a long period of time and work on anything .... my oldest hates writing, but its something that I want to encourage, my middle child is creative so this isnt a big process and my darling daughter is creative but at the stage of sticking everything on a page and of course it must have glitter.....

So I decided to make a serious of ''travel'' journals out of some scrapbook paper, photocopy paper and a little help from my sewing machine. These are the perfect size for them, and of course they need to be pretty too.

His and hers........

Good Afternoon, Rikki here today with a late post, its getting crazy with festive preparation, I hope that you will all have a great festive season, how ever you choose to celebrate it.

Today I am sharing with you two layouts using the awesome Scrapmatts Chipboard. I decided for some nautical inspiration today with his and her layouts. Just by changing a few papers and key chipboard pieces you can create two pages that are very quick and effective.
