Toddler Adventures - Lauren Tomecek

Welcome back to the Scrapmatts blog. Today I'm sharing two layouts featuring my son because in my unbiased opinion he's the cutest toddler around. ;)


I used CB6115 Assorted Words 28 as my title on this one. The yellow hexagons were created using Stencil 9002 in the A6 size.


I also used CB5124 Hexagon Mesh 03 in the background, painting the mesh light grey and the popped out hexagons a sparkly charcoal.





I have used CB5133 Africa 01 and acrylic paints to create a little animal scene. I love adding details and depth with paints on chipboard pieces. CB5150 Sticks 01 has been cut into smaller pieces and tucked under all the photos. Cutting the sheet up is a great way to get more value for money and make it last longer.


Hope you enjoyed the shares today. I'd love to see what you create if you've been inspired.

Picture Perfect and a Card

Helen with you today.  Welcome to the New Year.   
I hope your festive season has been filled with Joy and Peace.
Well we are off and running with another year of creating 
and today I’m sharing two projects for the Scrapmatts DT.
CLICK HERE 
to check out all the wonderful products in the store
I’ve used 49 and Market paper for the background, the Vintage Artistry collection, "Botanical Press".  The paper is sturdy enough to take lots of mixed media.
I used all sorts of left over bits and pieces of papers to form the mats.
I love this stencil which I used with texture paste and LSG spray
The Honeycomb chipboard was treated with Lindy’s Stamp Gang “Moon Shadow” mist
The Leather look Chipboard words matched the papers well without any treatment.

The journalling is on the back of the page and it reads:-

This is one of my favourite "little bubba" photos of you Oliver.  It shows your happy nature and your twinkling eyes.  It also shows that you still have your front teeth, so it was taken before they got knocked out.   Not long after this, you had a bit of a fall when Mummy took you to the play ground and you knocked your teeth right up into your gums.  The dentist said they might me OK and they did gradually come down again.  But one day when we were looking after you, you tripped and knocked them right out!!!  Oh no!  I was mortified that it happened on my watch. It was late in the day, we couldn't phone a dentist or get hold of your parents, who were on their way to pick you up.  The perils of Baby sitting.   Now at almost six, you still have a big gap in the front. 
The perils of Baby sitting!  Photo taken 5th March 2013

The card was created on water colour paper.
The diamonds on the background were created by using crackle paste through
then rubbing distress ink into the cracks.
I used alcohol inks on acetate to create the butterfly. 
      CB1243 Scrap Words 29 
add the finishing touch to an all occasion card.

Thanks for calling in and for any comments you care to leave,  I love reading them.

'Dreams Do Come True' by Kim




Hello friends of Scrapmatts!

Kim here to share a layout and a couple of cards I've created of late!

Last month I was invited to teach a scrapbooking class over in 
Cootamundra.
The day was organized by the lovely Cheryl O'Brien & Merrilyn Jackson.
We had a fun filled day creating 2 layouts, one by the talented Wendy Bennett and one by me of course. We also created beautiful handmade flowers, instructed by the
fun filled Annette Edmonds!!

Here is my layout created for the day.

 [Dreams Do Come True]
This is my middle girl, Madison. When she was a little girl all she wanted to be was a mermaid...she was able to dress like one for her sister's 21st birthday party earlier this year. She spent hours gluing shells to her mermaid bra...which turned out beautiful! We also created a lovely tail (sorry you can't see this in my pic...maybe on a future layout!?)

 I have used the awesome 
on this layout and love the effect!


Here are the stunning flowers we also made on the day!
(Mine were made by the AMAZING Annette Edmonds)

Today I also wish to share a couple of cards I whipped up over the weekend using the 
fantastic 
(love adding this to cards)






On this card I have used
and 
I kept the design very simple & elegant.

I do hope you have enjoyed looking at my creations?

Happy Creating
