Happy , Love, Smile & Goodbye from Jodie.

 Good Morning All

Wow December is already upon us. How's the Christmas Shopping going??

I am nowhere near prepared and I will have a new grand baby to spoil.

Today I would like to share with you my layout using Scrapmatts Chipboard & papers from Uniquely Creative called Something Blue. 

Spring has Sprung here at Scrapmatts!

Hello, dear creative friends!

Kim here to kick start the new month.

It's the start of Spring here in Australia are I'm sure we are all looking

 forward to some warmer days....although our farmers are hoping for a lot more rain as it's been a dry Winter for them here in NSW.

Today, I have two large gift tags to share with you!

The first is a Father's Day tag.

I've kept it rather simple.....

 To create this tag I used basic cardstock. Between the base layer and the bird layer I have stuck a piece of thick corrugated cardboard, (cut from a box). To add some height to my tag.

 The Marine Life chipboard was perfect for my project.

Lately I have really loved projects using dark/black backgrounds, so I thought

 I would create a tag using black cardboard as my base.

Here is my 2nd creation for you today!

 With a great majority of Scrapmatts chipboard, when purchasing you can select which colour you would like the product to be in. With the Mini Frames on my project I had these in white mist. This is a great selection as it allows you to add colour of your own choice.

LOVE & LAUGH BUTTERFLY CANVAS

                          LOVE & LAUGH BUTTERFLY CANVAS

Good Morning Followers. Jodie here with  my DT post for June.
This is my love & laugh butterfly canvas.

It features lots of amazing chipboard from Scrapmatts.

To start the canvas, I have used this beautiful tissue paper that I recently purchased at the Perth Craft Fair. 

I love the Parisian look.

Base of canvas using tissue paper.

 I used clear gesso to apply the tissue paper and to seal it.

To create the washed out effect, I diluted dylusions paint and painted the wash over the tissue paper.

The collage stamp is from Darkroom Door and the postcard is from a Kaisercraft collection and stamped with pinecone ink.

This butterfly is from the CB1015 Butterflies Chipboard.

The Hexagon chipboard CB5122 is coloured with the gold ink.

I have embossed it with Stampendous Aged Marine Embossing Powder.

The feathers charms are from Toko Central in Bali.

 This gorgeous little leaves are from the CB5177 Wildflowers.

I have inked with the Brilliance Gold Ink Pad

Flowers are from 49 and Market.

This cute love, laugh and hearts are from the CB6117 Assorted Words Chipboard.

I have embossed with Gold embossing powder.

To finish off the canvas I added some cheesecloth and black sewing twine.

Some pearl bling for the butterfly centres and coloured with Caramel Alcohol Ink Marker.

Finished canvas.

This really is the Silly Season!!!

This really is the Silly Season!!!

Hello and Welcome to my last post for 2017
Are you ready for the Silly Season???
I have a few more things to do but almost done.

Today I would like to share with you my December DT - Love Family Moments

This layout features the gorgeous String Circle Holly

This pack contains 14 pieces of chipboard.

I have used "Letters to Santa" paper from Kaisercraft.

This chipboard was perfect for framing my picture.

My daughter is queen of the selfies, so this is a family tradition on Christmas Day.

I just love it.

She also gets her step Dad to smile.

 (he is our Grinch) 

 

 To colour the chipboard I have used my AIAM's (Alcohol Markers) from Kaszazz. 

The Christmas word is also from this set and I have left it white.

I have used Postbox Red Spray from Dylusions to flick on the background.

All the chipboard for this project can be found on the Scrapmatts website.

For my second project I have used the hanging stars and the holly chipboard

to create this jar topper.

Again to colour the holly I have used the alcohol markers and to colour the stars and word I have used Silver and Gold Ink from Versa.

This was the finished topper. 

I added it to a clear jar found at Kmart and filled it with Christmas Lollies and will decorate the jar. 

Here is a list of the products used

 CB5164 Holly

 CB4068 String Circles 05 Holly

CB5097 Hanging Stars

Silver Ink

Gold Ink

I hope you have enjoyed all the designs I have bought you this year and you have found a little inspiration to give them a go.

Thank you all for supporting Australian business.

So from my family to yours

Until next year
