 [Once Upon A Time]

A very special layout to me.

 This is a photo of my mother at the tender age of 16 years.

 Lots of fussy cutting, a little lace, seed-beads and a little background texture,

add to that 'Scrapmatts' chipboard and I have a layout I can treasure forever.

I do hope you like my creation, remember for more inspiration, head on over to the 

Scrapmatts Ning gallery and take a look.....loads of inspiration to kick that mojo into gear!

Thanks for stopping by

Until next time

Christmas Bunting - Crece T

Hello everyone, This year has flown by so quickly and I cant believe its almost Christmas!!!

This year at home i'm having a colour theme (Blue, Silver and White) for the tree and table in the main part of the house. So I thought what better way to use some of the new Christmas Chipboard pieces on a Bunting made out of Scrapmatts Tags!

Christmas Bunting

For the M and S I used the cute Reindeer CB5049

I heat embossed the reindeer with white embossing powder and added a pale blue bling for the nose.

On the Y I used one of the new Chipboard pieces, the Candy Cane CB5145

I used Gelly Roll Stardust pens to colour the  candy cane.

For the other S I used the  New Layered Poinsettias CB5144

I heat embossed the main flower with White, the leaves with silver and the center blue.

I used the new Christmas trees from CB 5143

I heat embossed the main body of the tree white, i embossed a star blue and mounted it on top of the tree, the base was embossed with blue and I added a solver bow to the base of the tree and added pale blue bling for baubles.

The main part of this bunting was made using the tag CB3009

I covered these with patterned paper and then went around the edges with  Gelly Roll Stardust pens.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look, remember to head on over to our Gallery and upload your projects using Scrapmatts products, we love to see them.

If your around the Gold Coast this weekend head on over to the Southport Craft Alive Show, Sofie and Andrew from Scrapmatts will be there selling their awesome products.

Scrapmatts favourites!

With so many gorgeous pieces of chipboard available from Scrapmatts, it is hard to pick favourites! However I must say I adore working with the Stringed Circles and the Beyond the Page pieces. The Stringed circles come in a few different types so it extends the options for fun just that little bit more!
This month I had a play with the Arrow Stringed Circles CB5140

Aren't they gorgeous and with three sizes of circles to choose from!!!

 Using Scrapmatts products: Stringed circles 04 CB5140, Feathers02 CB1222 and Chains 02 CB1229

Scrapmatts beyond the Page pieces are so gorgeous to work with as the quality and thickness of the chipboard is wonderful! I've used these screens a few times but they are so much fun to play with that I keep going back for more!

Using Scrapmatts products: Screens 01 CB5105, Ornate Frames 23 CB4066 (just the small frames) and Scrap Words 04 CB1192

The possibilities for these screens is just endless!

If you need a little retail therapy then pop on over to the online store here and checkout the revamped website.

Happy scrapping :)

Thank You Card - By Tracey

Hi Everyone,

I have created a "Thank You" card using some wonderful goodies from Scrapmatts.

I have used roses from one of the 3D Sheets to layer and add dimension to this very simple card. To finish the card off I have added some chipboard birds and words.

"Believe"

This layout that I am going to share with you today, happens to be one of my favorites that I have created. I was also lucky enough and also very privileged to have it on the cover of  Scrapbooking Memories earlier this year. I have used lots of Scrapmatts chipboard goodies that I have heat embossed.

I have used the following Scrapmatts Chipboard CB1107 Clocks 08, CB4060 Ornate Frames 17,

CB4040 Arch Window Frame 09 and CB8001 Circles 01. I just love to heat emboss my chipboard. It really gives so much texture to your pieces but also a great way to add colour.

Thanks for stopping by.

Feeling Krafty - Lauren Tomecek

I recently cleaned my craft room and discovered I have an abundance of kraft cardstock so thought I better put it to use. Kraft is fantastic to pair with chipboard, as it gives a really earthy/natural look if you leave the chipboard raw or can provide great colour contrast if you paint the chipboard.

 

 

My first layout is for the Kraft Plus challenge blog. I have painted the 'Cherish' piece (CB1134 Assorted Words 01) to match the rest of the title (CB6103 Scrap Words 21), which is only available in black. The feathers (CB5116 Feathers 01) look stunning with nothing more done to them, mine were cut out of the white mist chipboard.

 

As soon as I saw this bubble chipboard (CB5131 Bubbles 01) I knew I wanted to use it on a swimming photo of my son. I firstly used the chipboard as a mask with some spray, then embossed the chipboard in white before adding pearl accents. The title is from a mixture of letters in the CB1206 Scrap Words 09 pack, don't feel you need to stick to the expected phrases. The tag comes from the CB1218 Scrap Words 19 pack.

 

 

Simply Precious by Kim

Hello dear friends of Scrapmatts!!!

Kim here to share with you a very special creation.

A few weeks back I was invited to the baby shower of my darling niece.

I decided to pull out my supplies out & create her a card......so much nicer than 

store brought, (don't you think!?)

I looked through my Scrapmatts goodies & found the perfect chipboard!

I added a few other elements and in no time I had the perfect card

soft & pretty

(as my niece was having a little girl)

 {Baby Shower Card}

The Scrapmatts chipboard gave my card that awesome touch & my Niece

totally loved the card, too!

She said she might even frame it for her precious bundles room!

I have used Scrapmatts

  Baby Boy 01 (CB5135)

in white mist.

(very versatile pieces) 

Scrapmatts have the Baby Boy pack & they also have a Baby Girl pack...
