'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,

Kel

Shaker Layout

Good morning This month I found these beautiful papers in my stash, and I've taken inspiration from a layout that I saw the lovely Hetty Hall do a few years ago, and I've made a shaker scrapbook page.

I started by cutting the hole in the page (the design already had the circle shape in it, so it made it very easy). I then attached a sheet of acetate to the back of the page. I found a coordinating sheet to go behind and I cut it so that it was larger than the hole that I'd cut. Around the hole I did 2 layers of foam tape with no gaps. On the back piece I put a pile of different colour sequins then attach the top page to it. I then fussy cut out a clock and lots of flowers from some of the other pages and attached them to the page using different levels of foam tape. I also cut in half and tucked in some of the 6 lace Flowers LM019.

The light posts (CB4028 Lamp Posts 07) were done with a silver texta and a white gel pen.

The leaf sprays (CB5082 Leaf Spray 02) I cut into smaller pieces, then coloured with a white gel pen, then on half I used a clear Nuvo Drops and the other half I used a pale blue Nuvo Drops. The title (CB6088 Assorted Words 16) also has a light layer of the blue Nuvo Drops.

I have also created this matching birthday card.

I used CB129 Card Elements 006 for the centre circle and flowers

I have just simply used my white gel pen to cover them in white. I have also added the CB5082 Leaf Sprays 02 to the top and bottom of the main focal piece. I used white Nuvo Drops on these

Right in the centre of the card I have used one of the Lace Flowers (LM019) and the Happy Birthday sentiment from CB6100 Words 29

I hope that I have been able to inspire you as Hetty inspired me. These shaker pages are such a simple and elegant way to bring a bit of movement and bling to your pages. Heather

October Scrapping

Hi everyone, Lisette here with my October layouts.

Hubby and I have just had a lovely holiday exploring country and costal Victoria.  I am sure I will be sharing lots of layouts from our trip in the next few months. Unfortunately much of the area we visited, is now flooded.  Thoughts and hugs to those effected by these floods.`

I also forgot all about my September post 😞.

Life has been so busy lately but I managed to do a couple of layouts from September challenges.

The first one is from White with 1.  I am definitely not a fan of Purple, but actually quite like this layout.

My second layout is from a Kraft+ challenge.  All about spring. These photos were taken last spring after a wet winter.  Its still too rainy for early blooms this year!

I am very excited as I am attending a Scrapbooking Retreat in a couple of weeks.  Looking forward to getting a number of layouts done with Scrapmatts products.  Keep an eye out for those over the next few months.

Hopefully my layouts have given you some inspiration using Scrapmatts Chipboard and Stencils.

Until next time, stay safe and Happy Scrapping!

Lisette  😄
