November Creating with Lizzy.

 Hello there! I hope your day is going well.. Here we are in November.. This year is getting along so quickly!

I have two layouts to share with you today and I hope they inspire you in your Scrapmatts creations.

For my first layout I have used a photo of my Son in the middle of a jam session.. He has been a Drum player since High School and he really gets involved in his playing.. I have used several different Scrapmatts chipboard pieces and a favourite stencil..

some closer views..

 

I think this title is perfect for my page and for my son.. I popped some bling on the notes of the music chipboard for some sparkle. I have used a Music Score Border chipboard that was painted navy blue. (For those who read music, this is the music to Happy Birthday, but I loved it for the way the notes sweep across the layout.. there are no rules to how we use embellishments, I go by the look of them. Having said that this chipboard would be perfect for a Birthday layout too!!)

 

I stencilled some stars onto the back ground and popped some chippy stars painted navy for some dimension..

 

Another closer view of the Music Chipboard..

 

I popped some Chevrons painted navy on the Retro Squares chipboard.. Layering chipboard looks great I think!

Live every moment..

The second layout I would like to share is with a photo of my Daughter at the Brisbane Ekka some years ago.. She has a country heart and while she lives in the City, the country life is a part of her.. While at the Show she was able to get close to some cows while they were resting in their stalls..

And Scrapmatts had a perfect country Chippies for me to use!!

Some closer views..

 

I popped a few special little words around the page.. I thought the Barbed Wire frame was great for my layout !!

 

Some Chipboard flowers colored and flower sequins popped on for sparkle..

 

How cute are the chippy Cows!!?? 

I love them!!! Simply colored with an ink pad. I added some color to this one with a gel pen.. I love the windmill too.. My dad had one on his farm when I was growing up.

Love is kind.

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..
