Welcome Aboard

Hello and welcome again.

Today I would like to share with you my take on the CSI Challenge Case 258. for July.

Submissions need to be submitted by July 31st.

My inspiration for this challenge was this clock I found on one of my shopping trips to the Salvo's.

 I was inspired by the Scene. 

This clock reminded me of our recent cruise.

    

I decided to turn it into a photo frame.

The photo matt is actually a sick bag from my scavenger hunt for our scrapbook challenges.

It is attached in place with the nautical paperclips, so that it can be removed and then used as a clock.

   

All the chipboard used is available from Scrapmatts.
I have also used some twine, shells and starfish (old hanger) and some art stones.

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!!

There are lots of beachy themed chipboards to use on your creations..

By The Sea created by Rhonda

Hello Scrapmatts Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors...

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to be chosen as one of the very talented New Design Team Members for my very favourite chipboard companies,

 Scrapmatts!!!

My first project is By the Sea
I started my first project off by using the pearlised Dew Drop Inks sold at Scrapmatts, I coloured all the chipboard pieces then used a thin coat of crackle medium to give them all a 3D textured look... 

In the mean time I took a piece of cardboard and used a scalpel to cut shapes out of the top layer of the cardboard to create the background to make it look a bit like waves, I then covered the cardboard with white Dylusions ink and once dry I mixed some acrylic blue paint and water and sprayed that over the dried ink, I was happy with the results as it turned out like a crazed look... 

I then glued all the chipboard pieces where I wanted them then added some 

real shells to finish it off... 

So there you have it, my first project is complete... 

To find the chipboard pieces I have used for this project they are as follows... CB1221Nautical Designs 04   CB1226 Marine Life 01  CB6064 Nautical Designs 01 and CB4067 Marine Life 02...

For my second project I couldn't wait to use the new stencils...  

For this project I gessoed a canvas, then brushed on some acrylic paints, I then used some modelling paste and used the the Stars Stencil to get the added affect of stars in the early evening...

ST1006 Stencil Stars and ST1016 Tyre Tracks

I then used the Tyre Tracks stencil to show my son's 4WD driving a long the beach.

I inked the chipboard pieces I wanted to use...

I used the small CB5122 Hexagon Mesh and CB5131 Bubbles 01...

  

So there you have it my first 2 projects created...

Thanks for stopping by, make sure you come back soon to see what the rest of the New Design team have been creating.

Until next time!

Rhonda

summer layout+soft passport cover

Hi dear scrappers!
Today I have for you two projects to show.
First layout about our vacation in Crimea last year. For it I used different details like dots, stickers and of course Scrapmatts chipies.
I think the air baloon, ancor and frame are perfect touch for my project :)

Air baloon CB5035 Hot Air Balloons 01

frame CB6093 Ornate Frames 21

Ancor as a part of word :)

from the set CB6064 Nautical Designs 01

The second project is my first ever soft passport cover.

For it I used  very unusual and unique fabric with  embroidery and beautiful birdcage 

CB1077 Bird Cages 03

Have a nice day!

Tanya :)
