August Creating with Lizzy..

Gidday Gidday!

Lizzy here with two layouts I have created using beautiful Scrapmatts Chipboard.. I must have been feeling very Australian when I created these layouts as I have used the fabulous Gum Leaves on both pages!!

The first page was inspired by the photos of my Grand Daughter visiting a wild life park in the Hunter Valley.. She got up close to some wallabies so I found Scrapmatts has the perfect chippies for this experience!

some closer views..

 

This Title was great for my layout..

 

I love these cute gum nuts, and they were simply colored with water color paints.. and how cool is the barbed wire!!??

 

And these cute Wallabies also painted with water color paints.. I used a few colors until I was happy with the shading.. (These paints are the sets you can get from any cheap shop.. they work well!)

 

And the Gum Leaves also painted with water colors and layered over the papers for some dimension.. There is also some leaf stencilling on the background.. 

my layout.. 

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used and where you can find them in the online store..

Hello Friends

Today I am sharing a few layouts with you using the wonderful chipboard from Scrapmatts.

This is the first one.

Captured, Moments, Memories

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..

Until next time,
Happy Scrapmatting!
