'Tis the season once again 🎄

 Ok creative types, this is it - the onslaught of all things Christmas 😂

Behind the picture you can see some lovely music sheet paper - you can order sheets of these from scrapmatts along with all your favourite chipboards 💚

In the end thought, the hero of this layout is the gorgeous string circle and holly combo... 

It comes on this generous A4 sheet:

I also got the cute word 'love' from the same set, then I inked them with gold and tied it all together by inking gold stars on the back ground of the sheet as well.

Then to finish off I grabbed some glimmer pearl liquid that I had in my stash and used this beautiful  stencil to guide some simple background flourishes around the edges of my embellishments.

For this next layout I managed to dig up some good old fashioned holographic star confetti 

pieces to help bling it up a bit. 

 

Love how this one turned out with more of those montage creations music sheets off-setting my very special family photo ... not to mention a few of those wonderful scrap words scattered about the place to really set the mood.

And of course this fabulous chipboard title ... 

you can't beat a good chipboard title that suits your theme to a tee! 👌

This time I used this flourish background stencil and ink to bring the red into the background as a kind of frame for the main action in the centre of the page. 

And last, but not least I have a special little Christmas card to share...

This card was made using the String Circles Holly chipboards and a beautiful reindeer chippie...

I got the reindeer chipboards in the white mist finish and just covered it with 

a layer of crystalina kindy glitz.

And of course the montage creations background music sheets were perfect for this card...

Along with some more of the scrap words inked with red:

And thats it from me for another month ... thanks for popping by for a visit.

Cheers,

July Creating with Lizzy.

Hello there! How is your day going? Great I hope!! and I hope the cooler weather means more inside crafting time!!!

I have a layout and two cards I would like to share with you today!

The layout is a page I created using a photo of my Grand daughter when she was only a few days old.. I could probably scrap this photo a million times I love it so much!! I will share some closer views and then my layout..

 

I usually look at the back ground paper and see if I can add anything to it, and for this layout I decided to add a few sweet butterflies and flowers with a stencil using a pink ink pad and dauber.

This sweet baby carriage was also just patted with a pink ink pad for a soft color that did not cover any of the chipboard details.. 

 

The bow was colored the same way as the carriage.. and the flourishes were painted white..

 

I used a little strip of lace under my photo to add some softness and a feminine touch!

Moments..

I framed my photo with the delicate and beautiful Ornate Frame and I used two ink pads of differing pinks to add a slightly darker pink around the outside of the frame..I like how it turned out!!

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used on my layout..

I was feeling a bit creative and thought I would try and make a step card using the Step Card Template.  I also used the Montage Creations which make things so easy..It was a matter of cutting out the template and folding along the lines and lining the card base and then embellishing it..

This is the base cut out and folded as per instructions on the template.. and then it was time to cover the card and add embellishments..

 

This is the Montage Creation I used and it also is as easy as cutting out the picture and side and bottom strips and gluing onto the card base..

And here is my card.. 

And a closer look at the Scrapmatts Chipboard I used for embellishment..

Then I thought I would create a feminine card using the same method..

And this is my second card..

 

and a closer look at the beautiful rose chipboard..

I colored the rose chipboard with a gel pen..

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts I have used for my cards..
