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....

Living the Dream

 I'm thrilled to be back on the Scrapmatts blog today sharing some recent layouts I pulled together using the clever chipboard and stencil designs that Sophie and Andrew have come up with ... I'm constantly impressed with the scope of possibilities I can use these embellishments for! 

In the following pages I use the positive and negative shapes in a net template, a gorgeous set of chains to build titles onto and the cutest little splatter stencil to add fantastic interest to the layouts...

The Net chipboard is too easy to use, just cut and paste and it looks perfect on any beachy themed layout ... and how fantastic are these gorgeous set of chains... I'm LOVING using these! Here I've used them to build up a hanging set of title words 💚

Theres literally so much in one pack of chipboard 'netting' I managed a second layout out of that embellishment pack... and more hanging chain and titles. The splatter template earned its self a home in my heart forever with this layout... It was so easy to use and looks so good I've decided to give that template the 

'Best $4 I ever spent' 

Award!!

And here we are on the third layout ... you guessed it, I'm still using the same set of chipboards and splatter stencil ... 

these embellishments REALLY stretch!! 

The only different here is that I've used the negative bits from the net chipboard packet .... I Cannot thank Scrapmatts enough for not letting those precious little scraps fall on the floor during production, because I find those edgy little diamonds really funky!

  

AND...

At the end of all of that, I still had stuff left so I decided I could squeeze a card out as well... this time a diamond template in the background helped bring in the extra colour I was after. 

So this weeks hot tip is: go grab yourself a splatter template and some netting and chain chipboards... you will be amazed how far they take you 💚

He's All Boy by Amy

Hi There Scrapmatts Fans,

Amy with you today to share some crafty love using SCRAPMATTS designs.

For my designs today I used the CB1201 Men's Accessories Chipboard

Here is He's All Boy

 Because I just loved the colour this chipboard comes in I kept it raw in my layout.

I usually love to emboss, paint and generally alter my chipboard but this was too perfect

 I am a bit of a layer lady and usually use 3d adhesive to give a bit of dimension

This chipboard has so many pieces I just have to keep going and use up some extras.

Here is my Star Tag. I like to make little tags to store for cards and gifts

Once again I did keep these raw as I was using the same Echo Park collection.

So that's it my first blog post done and dusted. I am so glad to be able to share with you my crafty creations. Feel free to link Scrapmatts in when you create yours. We would love to see what you make

Stay Scrappy,

Amy xo
