C.S.I. Color Stories Inspiration and SCRAPMATTS!

Hello there,
 thanks for joining us for our June Blog Posts where we share our creations using wonderful SCRAPMATTS products.

For my post this month I am sharing the layouts I have created for the Color, Stories, Inspiration C.S.I. Challenges where Scrapmatts have been a sponsor and the Design Team were invited to join in with the challenges. If you haven't joined in with these challenges before, you might like to check them out, you might win some wonderful Scrapmatts as a prize!!

For the challenge #254 which was for May 15th I took my inspiration for this challenge by the C.S.I. challenge  photo and also because May was 'get caught reading month'. Now my daughter loves to read and I was able to sneak this photo of her reading a book sitting out in the sunshine and I used that.

Some closer views..
Some stencilling on the back ground and I just had to use that Scrapmatts word painted with black gesso as my Daughter just enjoys a good book!

I love these swirly chippies and chain frame..

Popped a cute little heart in there!

and my layout..

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

ST9027 Damask Stencil 

 

CB5132 Chains 01

The second layout I am sharing is another layout I created for the C.S.I. CHALLENGE  #255 and this layout was using the criteria to document about a food, and also by June 1st which is World Doughnut day!  I have used two photos of when my Daughter had a doughnut cake for her birthday one year!!

some closer views.




Love the texture created by the Star and Star Burst stencils.





Love this sweet bow which I painted in the same water color I used on my back ground.

June Creations with Tania

Hello there!

Tania joining you today to share a couple of projects I created for this month using lots of gorgeous Scrapmatts goodies.!  First up I have a layout to share......

"Magic Memories"


I decided to keep the background on this page quite simple seeing the paper was so pretty, so I only altered it by adding a little colour through the patterns stencil.  I also used the gorgeous Scrapmatts leafy sprays on this page, just love these and altered them using some glitter texture paste.  I also altered a couple of the arrows from the Assorted Words 23 using the same texture paste.  Finished off my page with lots of yummy flowers...........



























Here's a few close ups.....





My second share is a mini canvas using one of my favourite Scrapmatts Chipboard collections the Wildflower range.

"Happy"


I decided I wanted to create a nice vibrant background for my canvas, so I first added some texture using the Patterns stencil.  I then added my colour.  I altered my chipboard using some Dylusions Shimmer Spray, so the chipboard had a little sparkle to it. Coloured the butterflies and my title also in the shimmer sprays and finished on the page with some blooms and mini prills for a touch of added texture.
























a few close ups......





Well that's all from me today,  I do hope I have inspired you all a little.  Be sure to check out the store here for all your gorgeous Scrapmatts goodies........

 Until next time, happy crafting Tania xx

Hey...June!




Hello, and welcome to the month of June!

Crazy! Half way through the year already.....time does fly!
Winter has started to grip us here in the southern hemisphere, so the perfect time to stay indoors and get crafting!

This month I have created a couple of large gift tags.
Using Prima papers and Prima flower, satin seam binding and of course some stunning elements from
SCRAPMATTS.


Scrapmatts chipboard adds the perfect touch to finish off the layered look to my tags!

Here are a few close ups of each of my tags!

The stunning Prima flower is complemented by the Scrapmatts chippies.
