May Creations With Christine

Good day.  A new month means new creations & today I'm posting a layout & a tag for Scrapmatts.  Let's start with a layout:

 

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Stars Strings Circles (CB5138), Film Strips (CB1232), Assorted Words (CB6106), Scrap Words (CB6112)

Scrapmatts Stencil: Circles (ST5006)

 

 

I've used the left over/scrap pieces of the Stars String Circles as is.  These raw chipboards have a beautiful shade & gray speckles on them hence why I decided not to alter them.  The "happy" Assorted Word Chipboard was inked with white Brilliance Inkpad & looks great against the raw chipboard.

 

 

In here you'll see my favourite Scrapmatts Circles Stencil, some in gold & some in white shades. 

The Film Strips have been inked black to match the other film strip elements of the page.   The "laughter" Scrap Words has a beautiful black shade which complements the film strips.

Up next is a tag:

 

 

Scrapmatts Chipboards: Tags (CB3009), Ornate Frames (CB6093)

Scrapmatts Stencil: Cobblestones (ST5014)

 

 

Scrapmatts Chipboard Tags come in a good size & is fun to create with.  At just under 6"x4", it's not too big or too tiny & is perfect for crafting.  I've applied some texture paste through Scrapmatts' Cobblestones Stencil, another one of my favourites. 

 

 

I've embossed & cut up the Ornate Frames Chipboard to help frame the mermaid & enhance the edges of the tag.

 

I had fun creating with all the Scrapmatts goodies...they go with anything!  Thanks for popping in & don't forget to check out the yummy variety of Scrapmatts chipboards & stencils here.

Cheers,

Together Canvas

Hi there.  It's Christine here & I'm so thrilled to be part of the Scrapmatts team.  Today I'm sharing a canvas which represents me.  I've always wanted to create something that's black & white, & so I gave it a crack with a portrait canvas.

Here are the yummy Scrapmatts Chipboards & Stencil I've used:
   CB6113 Scrap Words 32
   CB1238 Scrap Words 24
   CB5127 Diamond Mesh 03
   ATC 10-008 Rounded Corner 01
   CB6093 Ornate Frames 21
   CB3007 Tags 03
   ST5006 Circles Stencil

I've cut the Rounded Corner ATC in strips.  All chipboards are a given a good coat of black gesso except for the Scrap Words.  Once dry, the ornate frame is then embossed white.  I've then scraped some parts of it so you can see through the black & extra texture.

As for the tag, it was given a top coat of crackle.  For the background I've used the ever versatile Circles Stencil.  Some layers of mists & glitter on the edges are then added.  I wanted it to look like a galaxy & I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks for popping in & do check out the delicious Scrapmatts goodies here.  I hope you've been enjoying the inspiration from the team.  Thanks for dropping by & have a blessed Easter.

Cheers,

'Happy Valentine's Day'

Hello dear Scrapmatts friends!

Today is a very SPECIAL day for the young (or not so young) & in love!

'Valentine's Day'!

For my husband & I it is our 24th Wedding Anniversary.....(that came around fast!)

So, of course I had to do a layout of the two of us. 

I have used three of the 

NEW SCRAPMATTS STENCILS

on this layout & also some glorious Scrapmatts chipboard

[EST 1988]

I have used the stencils to create background interest.

Using texture paste with the stencils & also some Distress ink and a blending tool.

 

The Retro Squares are simply stunning to work with as is the gorgeous

 heart design chipboard, below.

here are the stencils I have used for this project.

Stencil Borders ST1011

Cobblestone ST5014

Circles ST5008

And the chipboard.....

Retro Squares CB5141 

&

Heart Frames CB5113 

I have also made a 

'Valentine's Day' card 

A sweet card for his 'Special' girl!

With the 'Hanging Heart' I have used Metallic Melts to add a touch of 

colour & texture and with the Ornate Frame I have just smeared white acrylic paint

over the top of it, then added a few drops of glimmermist and wiped that along (just using your finger).

 

I have used.....

Hanging Hearts CB5112 

Ornate Frames CB6093 

and the new

 'Leather Look'

Scrap Words CB1239 

I hope someone makes YOU feel a little

special, this Valentine's Day.

Until next time

Layout and mini

Hi there! I love using Scrapmatts chipboards to embellish male layouts, so I used lots of them in this page

 I used CB2010 Music Score 01 Happy Birthday, CB1004 Flourishes 05, CB6045 Layered Design 02 and CB1107 Clocks 08  

And I also made this mini album, love the butterfly!!

I used CB1230 Hinges, Keys & Keyholes 03,CB1015 Butterflies 15 and CB6093 Ornate Frames 21  

Harrison Showcase

I know most of the rest of the design team is showcasing Christmas projects, but I'm a little obsessed with my son Harrison at the moment so he's staring in my two projects. I hope you find him just as adorable as I do. :)

We received our professional photographs by Rachael Wilson Photography from the newborn shoot we did when Harrison was ten days old recently and I just had to create a display for them. Scrapmatts chipboard made the perfect accent pieces for this. It's strange to see him looking this small, he's grown so much in just three months!

Scrapmatts used: CB6095 Assorted Words 18; CB1129 Australian Federation Corners 07; CB6093 Ornate Frames 21; CB1209 Scrap Words 12; CB6055 Prams 01; CB5035 Hot Air Balloons 01.

Following on from the 10-day old photos of Harrison, here is one taken last week. My journaling describes some of the early challenges we faced with breastfeeding, how we're working to overcome these and how much I enjoy post feed cuddles (which is when I took this photo).

There are so many different ways you can use chipboard but sometimes all it needs is a quick coat of paint like I've done here.

Scrapmatts used: CB5106 Chevrons 01; CB8001 Circles 01; CB4055 Assorted Words 09.

Layout and cards

Hello there! I'd like to share a few projects I made with Scrapmatts chipboard. First I made this layout and had lots of fun altering the chippies with blue and green inks

 Here I used chipboards CB2022 Leaf Spray 12 and CB5116 Feathers 01  

Then I made two cards

And for them I used chipboards CB1224 Holly 03 and CB6093 Ornate Frames 21

Thanks for looking!
