April Creating with Lizzy!

Hello there,
I hope you are having a great day! I am popping up my Scrapmatts creating for this month..  I hope I can inspire you in your Scrapmatts crafting!!

I would like to share a layout firstly that I created using some fabulously funky chipboard pieces..

I fell in love with the Layered Heart set when I first saw it.. and I thought "How cool would it look with the Theme Pack?" (Don't worry I will put up the details of these chipboard packs and a link to the shop for you..)

I wanted to have paper on the back ground of the hearts so I traced around the edges of the chipboard and cut out the hearts..

Oh I colored the Heart chipboard with ink pads using a pink and a brown patting the ink pad on the chipboard until I was happy with the color..

This is what the layers look like before I put them on my layout..

and here is a closer view of the larger heart on my layout..

I have used a lovely Chipboard word from the Scrap Words 06 for my title..

I also colored the Theme Chipboard the same way for a soft pinky/browny color!

And my layout..

I think these two packs of Chipboard go together so well.. Just love the trendy feel they add to my page!!

And here are the details of the Chipboard for you to find in the SCRAPMATTS STORE!!

And I would like to share a card I have created using some lovely Scrapmatts Chipboard pieces..

This closer view shows the Window Frame which I colored with a brown ink pad and the Sea Grass which adds a different feel to my flower cluster.. The Sea Grass I colored with a green gel pen.. (I love how easy Scrapmatts are to add color, You can use lots of different elements to color the Chipboard. Gesso, paint, ink pads, water colors, and gel pens!)

and my card..

 

The flowers are a stamp that I fussy cut out and layered.. The Scrap Words are so handy to pop on a card too..

ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!!

Hello There,
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate this occasion! The shops are in full swing now, and perhaps there are some songs we have heard enough of, but hey, it is a lovely time of the year!! I think so anyway!!

So I thought I would get into the Christmas theme and create some cards and a layout! My cards are always simple, and not too bulky as they usually get posted.. so a few layers, and the chipboard and I am done!! hehe!!

Joy and Peace..

 I added the Holly Twig to the flower and it looks like a stamen, and the sentiment is Scrapmatts chipboard words.

 JOY

I covered the flags with paper and added the alphas to make the word 'JOY' and the Scrapmatts Christmas Tree was colored with glitter pens, and some little birdies and rhinestones were added for decoration!

And I used...

Some lovely hanging ornaments on the chain chipboard.

Joy

The frame around my photo  looks great on any themed page.. It was embossed with white and a touch of red embossing. Ah it wont be long and I will have some more Christmas photos to scrap, and there is plenty of Scrapmatts to use for my creations too!!

November Creations with Scrapmatts.

Hello there,
Are you getting excited for the end of another year?
This month is a busy one for me, I have my Daughters Year 12 Graduation and a Wedding, so lots to keep me busy this month... But first I must share two layouts I have created using wonderful Scrapmatts products!!

The first layout is of my Daughter. We are blessed to live in a country area and have 5 acres of land.. Down the back of our place on the creek bank we have some beautiful gum trees, and I have used a photo of my Daughter leaning on one of them... Well Scrapmatts have some lovely Australian themed chipboard and stencils and I used some fabulous Gum Leaves and Gum Nuts on my page..

Some closer views..

I have colored the Gum Nuts and Gum Leaves and added them to the papers which were perfect for my page..  Can you tell what is Chipboard and what is paper???  I used water colors to achieve the colors on the chipboard..

And I love this lovely Federation corner with a kookaburra on it as we have lots of the happy birds living in our trees!

Moments.

I love how this page turned out with the fabulous Gum leaves and nuts chipboard..

Here is a list of what Scrapmatts I have used..

The second layout I would like to share is of my Darling Grand Daughter.. Yes I became a Grandma this year, and what a delight that is for me, as most of my friends are all Grandparents, so now my Hubby and I are enjoying all that comes with Grandchildren.. but oh... they grow so fast! I am trying to keep up with the monthly milestones, but am finding the months are going so quickly! So I grabbed the photo of her at 7 months and scrapped it!! And all I used for my layout are those gorgeous Wildflower chipboards.. they are so sweet on my page!

A couple of close ups.

I traced around the chipboard flower and added a backing to the flower. I love how this looks.. I simply added some pink stickles to the paper part and some liquid pearl dots to the centers of the flowers.. The leaves were colored with glitter pens..

I put the sweet photo in the lovely frame and I think my simple page looks very effective giving my precious photo the attention it deserves.

7 months.

Isn't she the cutest!! well I certainly think so!! I love how pretty those Wildflower chipboard look on my page..

And I used..

Well I hope you are inspired from today's post, thanks so much for dropping by.. I know the days seem to get busier from now on for most of us... I do hope you get some creative time in the midst of it!
Until next time,
Happy Scrapmatting!


 

October Creating with Scrapmatts!

Hello there,
I trust your day is going well...  I am scratching my head as to how we got to October already, but here we are!!! I am just popping in to share a couple of layouts I have created using some fabulous Scrapmatts products.. So many  products, so many ways to use them!! I hope I can inspire you in some way today!

The first layout is one I created for last months challenge over at Color; Stories, Inspiration where some of the Scrapmatts designers guested for the challenge.Challenges are always good to get you thinking!!
The theme of my layout was to scrap about my Daughter and her cat!

and here are some closer views!!

Love the string circles and I popped a little liquid pearls dot randomly on the arrows..

The stencilled triangles always add great interest to any back ground..

The chipboard swirls are painted with black gesso to add some drama to my page..

I popped a little bow under my cluster and painted it a happy yellow to match the color scheme!

You are my favourite.

I love this photo of my Daughter and her cat... some photos just look better cut into a circle!!

Chipboard arrows, stencilled numbers...  perfect for my male page..

I added some rips to the paper and put some contrasting paper strips in the gaps for some added texture and interest.
