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. 

About Me Canvas

Hi there! Hope you crafters are having a great weekend so far! I'm here today to share with you'll a canvas I made of me!

Without further ado, here is my canvas

How I put my canvas together:

1) First using the stencil by Scrapmatts, I created texture for the background.

2) Then, using distress paints, I painted over the texture at random areas.

3) Adhere photo

4) I picked out the chipboards I want to use on my canvas. Painted them using Silks and other mediums and left them to dry.

5) I then adhered them

Chipboard I used:

Getting jungle fever.....

Hi, It is Anne here today to share with you a couple of creations I have made using Scrapmatts.

I received a pack of new African themed designs (CB5133) recently as as most of you do, I thought, well I haven't been to Africa recently.  But then I remembered that last year we went to the Gallery of Modern Art with the Kids and there was this fascinating display of animals round a giant pond and a leaping wolf pack.  PERFECT....  It is amazing how versatile these designs can be.  

As you can see i have inked the various animals and plants in brown to go with the design I crated.

I also layered and added more texture using some of the new Mesh (CB5129) designs...  

Then I had a tree left over from the pack and so I decided to also whip up a card.  This is also incorporating one of the super cute houses (CB5121).  

Hope you like my creations and I am also sharing some other new creations on the Ning site.

Thanks for Looking

Anne
