Creating with Scrapmatts and C.S.I.

Hello there,
Can you believe we are in August, my word this year is flying by... I hope you are getting some creative time to enjoy each month!!?

Last month Scrapmatts was a generous sponsor of the challenges over at CSI : Color, Stories, Inspiration and as a part of the Scrapmatts Design Team I joined in too, using wonderful products from the SCRAPMATTS STORE.

The first challenge for July was this one..

to use the colors, at least three clues and one testimony.. and this is what I created.

Some closer views.

Fabulous stencilling using the Stencil Triangles.

I love the Floral Design embossed in pink glitter.

And also the Lavender was embossed in pink too and layered over the Triangle chipboard.

Happiness is here!

And here is a list of the SCRAPMATTS products I have used for this layout..

The second layout I created for the C.S.I. Challenge was for this challenge..

This challenge had a lovely summery feel to the colors and so I used a photo from a beach holiday.. And this was my take on the challenge using SCRAPMATTS products..

Some closer views..

I added some texture to the back ground using the Plus Sign Stencil which matched the plus sign stamp!!

MERLIN'S BEARD

CASE FILE NO 225

CSI CHALLENGE

Welcome to March. Already this year is flying past. March happens to be my favourite month, as I celebrate my birthday in the first week and lucky for me in the West (Western Australia) it always falls on a long weekend.

This month we have been asked to guest design for the CSI Challenge.

http://csichallenge.blogspot.com.au/

Head over to see all the other amazing designers and their work.

So here is the Case file that I have used to design my layout this month.

Merlin's Beard

This is my completed layout based on the CSI Case File.

EVIDENCE: I have used washi tape, things that fly, animals, circles, wood, feathers, stars.

TESTIMONY: I have handwritten on my background and started with an idiom.

I have used CB1222 Feathers and CB5158 Triangles to embellish the corners. To colour the chipboard I have used Crushed Olive Distress Ink.

To frame my photo I have used the CB5138 String Circles. This has been painted with white gesso.

To create the background, I have used the ST1026 Circle Stencil.

The washi tape was a perfect fit for this layout.

The journaling says " I snapped this pic in my front yard. This beautiful owl was perched on the tree. It was early morning. I quickly grabbed my camera and managed to get this shot. When I look at it, it reminds me of the owl from Harry Potter. HEDWIG"

So my layout had to have a Harry Potter theme.

I hope you have enjoyed my take on the challenge and I look forward to seeing what the other DT members designed for this challenge.

All the chipboard on this layout can be found at

Here are a list of items used

CB1222

CB5138

CB5158

ST1026

TRANQUILITY CANVAS

My second project is a Dreamcatcher Canvas that I have hand painted and used Scrapmatts chipboard to embellish.

For the centre of the Dreamcatcher I have used the CB4070 String Circle Roses.
I painted over the chipboard with acrylic paint.

The word is from CB6087 Assorted Words 15.
I have painted in Black Soot from Dusty Attic.

For the background I added stars with the ST5042 Star Stencil.
I then flicked gesso over the background for some added texture.

Here are the pieces I have used.

Ho Ho Holy Christmas....

I can't believe that we are only 10 days from Christmas and fast approaching the New Year.

Hello again.

Are we all organised for Christmas?

This month really is the silly season. I have been so busy with work, Christmas parties, appointments, market stalls that I haven't had much time to create.

So it was nice to finally get into my craft space and design.

The first of my projects I would like to share with you is a mini clipboard.

I started by covering with Christmas paper. I think from memory this is a Simple Stories range.

It's been in my Christmas stash for some time.

I then used the ST5042 Star Stencil to add some detail to the background.

With the CB5158 Triangles, I pulled them apart, painted them with Picket Fence Distress Paint and added to them to the background.

When I look at these they resemble Christmas Trees.

To finish off the clipboard, I attached the CB5164 Holly 05 to the top of the frame and added a CB5144 Layered Poinsettia to the bottom of the frame.

The gold Polaroid frame came with the mini clipboard.

To colour the Poinsettia and Holly I used my alcohol ink markers and to give the sparkly effect, I used my glitter pen from CTMH.

To finish off the frame I used the CB Assorted Words 19 - Christmas Memories.

This was inked in Silver.

The picture is of my daughter from a couple of years ago when we had photo booth props to take Christmas pics.

Here is a list of the products used in this project

CB5144 - Layered Poinsettia's 01

CB6097 - Assorted Words 19

CB5164 - Holly 05

CB5158 - Triangles 03

ST5042 - Stencil Stars

The second project I would like to share with you is a set of 3 Christmas Cards.

To create these cards I have used watercolour pencils, background stamp, ST1026 - Bubbles Stencil and CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments and CB1229 - Chains
