December Creating with Lizzy.

 Hello there! Here we are in December.. What a ride this year has been.. For some, this has been a difficult year.. For me it sure has had its ups and downs..But there is something about Christmas that brings out something special I think!

I have two layout to share with you today for my Scrapmatts creating.. The photos I use on my layouts may not be the best focus or have people looking at the camera, but the moments are what makes a photo special I think.. My first layout is using a photo of my Granddaughter and her Daddy looking at some flowers growing in a pot.. Children have a wonderful way of getting us adults to slow down and look at the wonder of nature.. 

some closer views..

 

I have used these fabulous Triangle Chipboard for some interest and dimension.. I simply cut them in half so there isn't much that is hidden under my photo.. 

 

I love the bracket shape used for this word chipboard, and a closer view of the Diamond stencil I have used on the back ground.

I thought this title was perfect for this sweet moment of Father and daughter..

Love blooms here..

And here is a list of the Scrapmatts products I have used on my layout..

ST9070 Diamonds  

 

 

CT005 Love Blooms Here 

CB5156 Triangles 01  

CB1239 Scrapwords 25

The second layout I would like to share is using a photo taken many years ago of my family at Christmas time.. I wanted to do a Christmas layout, and then I realized my stock of Christmas Chipboard has been deleted.. (insert sad face here..) Dont be like me and run out of Christmas chippies.. go to the store HERE FOR YOUR FESTIVE EMBELLISHMENTS!!!   However I did still create my Christmas layout with other goodies and I am happy with how it turned out!

Some closer views..

I usually like to add some interest to my back grounds by way of water color or mist and pop a bit of stencilling on.. I managed to take a photo of this back ground before I began covering it up with my papers and photo..

I used these Lanterns to embellish my page.. Simply painted in white with some red rhinestones and a little pop of glitter glue to add to the festive feel! And again I have popped some Chippie Stars on the back ground.. A pack of those Stars goes a long way!!

The String Circles with the stars were placed on the top and bottom of my photo and just put slightly under the corner.  The Lamp post was treated the same as the lanterns..

Another view of the back ground with the stencilling, and the fabulous Ornate Topper under my photo..

Merry Christmas..

 

And here are  the Scrapmatts products I have used on my layout..

 Good Morning All

Wow December is already upon us. How's the Christmas Shopping going??

I am nowhere near prepared and I will have a new grand baby to spoil.

Today I would like to share with you my layout using Scrapmatts Chipboard & papers from Uniquely Creative called Something Blue. 

Easy Christmas cards by Annette

 Hello my lovelies and welcome to my first post on the Scrapmatts Blog. To say that I was excited when Sofie asked me to be on her design team would be an understatement, not only excited but extremely honored to be asked. I have been a long time fan of Scrapmatts and have had the pleasure of meeting both Sofie and Andrew on numerous occasions. Honestly, you could not find two more genuine and generous people if you tried. 

I also have the privilege to call the gorgeous Kim Ewins my friend. We have know each other for over 20 years (our sons were at the same school) and we get together once a fortnight, if not more, for some scrapping time. 

So what I would like to show you all today are some very quick and simple Christmas cards that I have made.
