Not Just For the Boyz !!!

Not Just For The Boyz

Good Morning

Welcome to my November Blog Post for Scrapmatts

Not just for the Boyz

Just last weekend I attended a fabulous retreat in Bruce Rock (Western Australia) where I was able to find my mojo and got a lot of layouts completed.

The layout below features lots of chipboard from Scrapmatts.

The photo was taken of my daughter enjoying the ATV's in Bali. 

Who said its just for boyz??

For this layout I have used the Edge of Town Collection from Scrapberry's.

The collectables are from the factory 42 collection from Kaisercraft.

It has a great grunge feel to it. So I had to pull out the cogs and barbed wire.

To create the background I used 2 stencils. 

I have used a blending tool with black gesso to create texture.

I used white gesso to create the flicks on the page.

This is my second layout.

I have used the same paper collection and added Factory 42 collectables.

The cogs and barb wire are from the leftover chipboard.

To create the colour on the cogs, I used Finnabair Rust Paste - Camouflage.

To colour the barb wire I used the Uniquely Creative Black Glitter Pen.

To add some texture and depth, I also added some squares which I have coloured with the Black Glitter pen.

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!!

The second layout I would like to share is a masculine one, and I love the gears and cogs and arrows for my male projects...

some closer views..

The gears were simply dabbed with two different colored ink pads..

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.

You make the world more amazing.

And this is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used for my male layout.
