September Creating with Lizzy

 Hello there! How are you today? It is Spring and my garden is singing with blooms and bees and I love it!

So I have a layout with a spring feel to it to share with you today. In September there is in Toowoomba a Carnival called "the Carnival of Flowers' and there are many private gardens as well as the Parks that are especially prepared for this time. For todays layout I am using a photo of my Daughter sitting in front of a beautiful bed of Lavender taken quite a years ago during the Carnival of Flowers.

and I will share some closer views of the lovely Scrapmatts products I have used.

I stenciled some leaves onto the background for some interest.. I had some Federations Corners that I painted with white acrylic paint and popped them in the corners of the background page.. I also wiped some white gesso around the edges with my finger. The leaf spray was painted with water colors.. I did lots of layers of the water colors to bring up the color.

This is a close up of the layered Design, the bottom piece was painted with the purple and the top piece was painted with white.. It makes a lovely contrast. My title came from the Assorted Words pack.

I thought this Flower sprig worked well on my page.

On the other side of my photo I used the Lavender Spray and those sweet little butterflies were from that pack too.

and my layout.. 

humm I can almost smell the lavender!! 

Here is a list of the Scrapmatts products I have used on my layout.

June Creating with Lizzy.

Hello there! My goodness how are we in June already?? I hope this finds you well and enjoying your day!!

I have a layout and a couple of cards to share with you today..I hope you are inspired to get your Scrapmatts out and have some creative time!

I have used a cute photo of my Grandie on my page today and so you can expect flowers and some pink!!

I will start with some closer views..

She certainly does brighten up my day so this was perfect for my layout! I have added some texture to my back ground with the Stencil Circles which I did after adding some sprays of mist.

I have used the Hanging Jewell's chipboard which I cut into various pieces and painted them yellow and added some flower bling pieces to the circles..

I even used the frame that was around the chipboard on my layout and I inked that with a brown ink pad..

A corner feature using two hanging Jewell pieces..

and my layout..

Lots of fussy cut flowers mixed in with the hanging Jewell chipboard...

Here is a list of the Scrapmatts that I have used on my layout..

And I have two cards I would like to share with you.. I used the flower frames from the Montage Creations for the back ground.

I layered them and placed them on my card front.. easy!!
Then it was a matter of decorating the cards and adding a sentiment..

I have used a Signboard chipboard painted white and added a puffy flower some leaves and a sentiment!

I have used a small Ornate Frame and a Sentiment and popped a few flowers in matching color..
All done!!

and the Scrapmatts I have used on the cards..

Chalk it Up In July

Chalk it Up

Hello and Welcome to July

Today I'm on the blog to share with you my DT projects for the month.

First up I have a Chalkboard that I have decorated with Scrapmatts Chipboard.

This chalkboard can be found in Kmart for the grand total of $5.00. What a Bargain!!!

 This is the first side of the board.

Here I have attached the Scrapmatts butterfly and to decorate I have added some Kaisercraft Pearls and covered in glossy accents.

This is the other side of the board. 

On this side I have added another butterfly.

The chipboard vine behind the flowers are also from Scrapmatts.

 If you would like to recreate this chalkboard, then these are the products from Scrapmatts used

CB4008 Butterflies 01

For the next project I have made a 4x6 canvas art.

To add texture to the base, I have used the Cobblestone stencil and then used some snow paste.

I coloured the canvas with mini distress ink Mowed Lawn.

The vines are coloured with Brilliance Gold Ink.

These very cute words are from the Scrapmatts Scrap Words.

This little charm is also from Scrapmatts.

All flowers used in these projects are from 49 and Market.

To add the sparkle to the canvas, I have used the sparkle pen from Close to my Heart. 

Here is a list of the Scrapmatts products used
