March Layouts

Hi everyone

Just made this post in time - gee I have had a busy few weeks!

I have two layouts for you today. Both of them start off with my signature stencil work and then finished off with some fabulous Scrapmatts Chipboard inked and embossed. I created both these layouts for Colour Blast monthly challenges. Love the combination of Scrapmatts Stencil and Chipboard together with Colour Blast pastes, embossing powerders and shimmer pots.

Using SCRAPMATTS for Challenge layouts.

Hello there,
How is your March going? Personally I wish the days would slow down a bit, the year is going way too fast!!

If you know me, you would know that I like online Scrapbooking challenges. They get you to create in ways you may not usually create. A couple of months ago I joined in with a Challenge called White with One and as the name suggests you have to use the color white with one other color.. and for this month it was red.. So I got out some Scrapmatts to use on my layout..
I had a photo I took of my Daughter and a horse that was staying in our paddock and began with that..
The first thing I did was some stencilling and as this had a Christmas theme, I used the star stencil from Scrapmatts. Then it was a matter of pretty much slopping on color using water color paints..
I got out the Scrapmatts Chipboard I wanted to use and simply used white gesso and the water color paint on the chipboard pieces.
Then I layered up my embellishments around my photo and added some bling for some sparkle!!

some closer views..

I love these pretty stars and I cut up my chipboard to suit how I wanted to use it..

How simple yet how effective to place a little gem on the chipboard to really make some pop!

and my layout..

Enjoy everyday moments..

and here is a list of the Scrapmatts products I have used.

ST5002 Stencil Stars

CB6086 Twig Frame 01

CB1067 Flourishes 10

CB2001 Page Borders 01

The second layout I would like to share with you is a layout I created for a different challenge, and this challenge asked that we use the word "Forever" and hearts on our page. I thought of my Parents who have been married for 63 years and I used a photo of them on their Wedding day all those years ago..

Some closer views of my layout.

I stencilled some pretty hearts from a stencil onto the back ground...

I love this Heart Frame which I embossed in white and placed on the photo to frame my parents in love...

I also love the words which are perfect for adding some sentiment..

Forever..

Hello.........

Hello there!

My name is Tania Ridgwell and welcome to my first post as part of the Scrapmatts Design Team.

I am super excited to be part of the design team and can't wait to share my creations with you

showcasing the gorgeous goodies from Scrapmatts.

I would like to thank

Sofie & Andrew for giving me this opportunity to share my creations and work with their fabulous products.

My first project I would like to share with you is my Design Team Canvas.

I created the background for my canvas using the gorgeous Damask Stencil and some Dylusions sprays......

I also used some of the new chipboard from the Wildflowers range and added a piece of the chipboard Chains here and there.........

The other project/s I have to share is a couple of cards featuring two of the Scrapmatts Ornate Frames.

On the first card I used Ornate frame 03, I just loved this one and the gorgeous detail. I altered it by using a little frosty glitter shimmer paste on it, gives it a bit of sparkle don't you think?

CB5002 Ornate Frame 03

Second card...

Again I used another frame this card the Ornate Frame 10, I altered this frame by adding Lilac glitter paste, it just gave it a slight tinge of colour and then added some raw chipboard flourishes to the flower clusters on my card.

CB1003 Flourishes 04

Well that's all from me today, I do hope I have inspired you all a little. I look forward to sharing more of my creations over the coming months.......

March Creations - Crece T

Hello fellow Scrapmatts lovers...

Crece here with you today to share 2 creations I have been working on.

First up is a little mini flip album I created using the New Large Envelope Template 03 ST4005

Dustin's First Birthday

This is my gorgeous nephew Dustin, I wanted to create a little keepsake for my Step mum of Dustin's first birthday so thought the envelope template would work as a little mini flip album.
