Living in the Moment

Good morning how are you? Rikki here with two completely different layouts again.... one is all about the rainbow of mixed media goodness and the second is all about the simple, layered graphic layout. One is bright and one is pastel this month is all about opposites...

This really sums up how I have been scrapping lately, the need to constantly change things up.... do you do that too?

A Handful of Happiness.....

Good morning how are you? Rikki here today with two new layouts show casing some amazing chipboard titles, and you probably have noticed that I have been doing that a lot. 

Today's share is about two different styles of scrap booking and how a title can add that finishing detail and also be a versatile addition to any style of scrapbooking.

Good morning how are you? I am here today to share with you two layouts using the same techniques finished off with the perfect Scrapmatts Chipboard Title.

Of course my favourite thing to do is fussy cutting !!! You should see I have a huge box full of it ready to go... but to give it a little lift I love adding some mixed media to the background. 

Sometimes I do it before I stick the fussy cutting first and in other times like the the layout below I add it after with a brush.

Now this layout is the reverse of the above..... added first and also adding stamps and stencils in the background first, then adding the fussy cutting over the top.

Hi Rikki here, sometimes you just need a title to complete your layout but that doesnt mean it has to be simple or you cant add something to it....

So when doing your titles.... why dont you add some Enamel Accents? It will dry all glossy with the effect of puff paint - just got to let it dry for 12hrs and then your done- your very own puffy chipboard sticker.

                                                   Now for something a little bit nautical.....

This time add Tim Holtz Oxides - just stroke it on in long lengths you will end up with a suede effect.

Family Time .....

Good morning how are you? Are you a fan of multiple photo layouts or a good single photo layout? Well I have you covered for both ... sometimes you need one good photo to tell the story.... other times like the first story there are many photos that need to tell the whole story and sometimes they are  just too cute to cull.

The single photo ..... this gives you plenty of room to stack some chipboard and of course colour it with some Finnabar metallic waxes....

A Snapshot of life

Good morning..... Rikki here today with this months shares and can you believe it is April already? With the weekend upon us again, it means I will be able to get some scrapping time in and some more off my #365 tally. 

One of the things that makes this project easier is the Scrapmatts Chipboard.... I love the titles but I also want some little journal strips..... as you will see in the next two layouts Scrapmatts has you covered for that also.
