November Creating with Lizzy

 Hello there!! Well we are on the down hill slide to the end of the year, and often it can be a very busy time. I have a layout to share with you today that I hope will inspire you to create a page using some fabulous Scrapmatts chipboard that I have left raw or uncolored.. It gives such an organic look that works well for any style. (and it helps to get a page done a little quicker!!!)

As I have used a white cardstock for the base I wanted to add just a hint of color and I did this by using an ink pad and a dauber and a pretty stencil..

I then sprayed a bit of water onto the stencil and patted it onto my layout to add some splats and splodges.. and remember to clean off your stencil after use.. (I just used a baby wipe).

Then it was onto deciding how I was going to use the papers and layering under the photo.

I have used the beautiful Wildflowers chipboard frame around my photo. It looks so good raw and I found this title was just right too.. It stands out in the black.. ready to use.. so good..

I did some fussy cutting of these papers and layered them with some old cardboard..The simple leaf spray added a little bit of dimension but not too thick for my album.

I did a little corner embellishment and placed the Wildflower chipboard on top to add to the cluster..

and my layout.. Dare to Dream.

The Scrapmatts Chipboard looks good embossed or colored with paint, but I like it just the way it is for this  soft feminine layout.. 

and here are the Scrapmatts I have used on my layout..

November Creations with Scrapmatts.

Hello there,
Are you getting excited for the end of another year?
This month is a busy one for me, I have my Daughters Year 12 Graduation and a Wedding, so lots to keep me busy this month... But first I must share two layouts I have created using wonderful Scrapmatts products!!

The first layout is of my Daughter. We are blessed to live in a country area and have 5 acres of land.. Down the back of our place on the creek bank we have some beautiful gum trees, and I have used a photo of my Daughter leaning on one of them... Well Scrapmatts have some lovely Australian themed chipboard and stencils and I used some fabulous Gum Leaves and Gum Nuts on my page..

Some closer views..

I have colored the Gum Nuts and Gum Leaves and added them to the papers which were perfect for my page..  Can you tell what is Chipboard and what is paper???  I used water colors to achieve the colors on the chipboard..

And I love this lovely Federation corner with a kookaburra on it as we have lots of the happy birds living in our trees!

Moments.

I love how this page turned out with the fabulous Gum leaves and nuts chipboard..

Here is a list of what Scrapmatts I have used..

The second layout I would like to share is of my Darling Grand Daughter.. Yes I became a Grandma this year, and what a delight that is for me, as most of my friends are all Grandparents, so now my Hubby and I are enjoying all that comes with Grandchildren.. but oh... they grow so fast! I am trying to keep up with the monthly milestones, but am finding the months are going so quickly! So I grabbed the photo of her at 7 months and scrapped it!! And all I used for my layout are those gorgeous Wildflower chipboards.. they are so sweet on my page!

A couple of close ups.

I traced around the chipboard flower and added a backing to the flower. I love how this looks.. I simply added some pink stickles to the paper part and some liquid pearl dots to the centers of the flowers.. The leaves were colored with glitter pens..

I put the sweet photo in the lovely frame and I think my simple page looks very effective giving my precious photo the attention it deserves.

7 months.

Isn't she the cutest!! well I certainly think so!! I love how pretty those Wildflower chipboard look on my page..

And I used..
