C.S.I. Challenges using SCRAPMATTS.

Hello there,
How is your week going? I am mid winter here and I mustn't complain as Winter is needed, and it makes for good days indoors creating!!

Once again the Team from Scrapmatts were invited to be Guest Designers for the challenges over at C.S.I. Color Stories Inspiration Challenge and I would like to share two of my layouts from two of the challenges..

The first layout was created for the Mid June Challenge which was to document something about summer. Well I had to find some fabulous Scrapmatts beachy chippies for my page and then I created my layout.

some closer views ..

 I love the different types of chipboard shell available by Scrapmatts.

Just some randomly cut Net chipboard.

Ah the Tranquility of the beach...

This photo was taken early one morning when we were at the beach, the water was so blue and beautiful...

The Scrapmatts I have used for my page...

The second layout I am sharing was created for the C.S.I. Color Stories Inspiration challenge #257 which was to document something summer...  So again I found a photo of my Dd when we had a summer holiday and created my page..

some closer views..

I popped a shell just lightly swiped with gesso in my flower cluster and a little frame is peeking out there too..

The fabulous Diamond Mesh is one of my favourite chippies to add some texture.

I put my chipboard banner pieces through two different embossing folders and I love the added interest the texture has given to the banner.. A light swipe with gesso using my finger is all I have put on them... The word summer was painted with gesso and then the same water color I used on the back ground in places.

My layout..

Ah I love going to the beach in summer time!!!

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!

A little mixed media

Hi there! I'd like to share some works I made with Scrapmatts chippies and soe mixed media techniques.

My first project is an altered wall hanging. I used lots of chipboard and metal embellishments and it was really fun to make!! I used CH031 Assorted Charms #1, CB1221 Nautical Designs 04, CB6065 Nautical Designs 02

Next I made a layout with a mixed media background and I decorated it with Scrapmatts chipboards: CB5114 String Circles 01, CB6095 Assorted Words 18,CB1016 Bird Cages 01 

And finally I also made a card in a shabby style. Here I used CB4063 Leaf Spray 13 and CB1198 Scrap Words 06 

Have a nice day!
