Catching Up!

 

Hello...hello!

Kim here to share a layout I created using some fantastic products from

SCRAPMATTS

Here let me show you my layout.

For this layout I have used stencils, lace motif flowers and a totally gorgeous chipboard layered window.

Teamed with some awesome papers.

I hope you have enjoyed looking over my layout?

This is my project for October, as I am playing catch up.

All I can say is everyday life is seriously getting in the way of my crafting life!

Anyhow, hopefully I can get back on track soon?

So until next time ( 17th November, actually... lol)

Happy crafting

Merry Month of May!

Hello, hello dear Scrapmatts Followers!

Kim here to start off the month......

May is the month that we give thanks to that special woman in our life, the one who gave us life, guided us in our formative years and is often the best friend we will ever know.....

OUR MUMS!

Here is a card I have made 

 I have teamed up the Brick stencil with some sweet Cocoa Vanilla Studio papers & the uber cute

elements from the Flannel Flowers chipboard pack and I have also used the negative from Assorted Words 21, for my card.

(Making best use of your purchases).

The next project I would like to share is a layout I created for the 

Kraft+ Challenge Blog (last month).

The challenge was to use paint swatches on your layout!

I hadn't participated in a challenge for quite some time, and I really enjoyed it!

I scrapped my little Grandson 'Angus'

I loved this photo of him in all his thriving squishiness!!!

It just had to be scrapped!

[LOVE]

 Again I have used a combination of chipboard & stencils

Look at those arms!!!

Using paint swatches is an awesome idea, so next time your at your local hardware, check then out!

Welcome to May!

Hello, dear friends & a very warm welcome to the month of May!

The year is moving along so fast!

Today I want to share with you a card & also a layout.

Here in Australia we celebrate 'Mothers Day' on the 2nd Sunday in the month of May, so I

 thought it would be nice to share with you this Easel card I have made.

 The Scrapmatts Chipboard sentiment really makes this card!

I also had fun creating this layout, using lots of the new stencils, check out the awesome range

***HERE***

 Hubby & I escaping just for a few hours!!!

 

To colour the feathers I have used a combination of 'H2O's, Distress ink & Ecoline ink.

 I have also used this colour combination on my stencil work. 

 

I loved mixing up the stencils & my new favorite stencil would have to be the

lower case alphabet stencil ......how versatile, you can create ANY title you want!

'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
