ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!!

Hello There,
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate this occasion! The shops are in full swing now, and perhaps there are some songs we have heard enough of, but hey, it is a lovely time of the year!! I think so anyway!!

So I thought I would get into the Christmas theme and create some cards and a layout! My cards are always simple, and not too bulky as they usually get posted.. so a few layers, and the chipboard and I am done!! hehe!!

Joy and Peace..

 I added the Holly Twig to the flower and it looks like a stamen, and the sentiment is Scrapmatts chipboard words.

 JOY

I covered the flags with paper and added the alphas to make the word 'JOY' and the Scrapmatts Christmas Tree was colored with glitter pens, and some little birdies and rhinestones were added for decoration!

And I used...

CB1184 Assorted Words 12



CB5164 Holly 05



CB5101 Flags 02



CB5143 Christmas Trees 06








And my next share is a layout, using a photo of my Daughter from several years ago.. Oh where have the years gone??

some closer views..

 Gota have some stenciled stars on a Christmas layout!!

And chipboard stars too!

Some lovely hanging ornaments on the chain chipboard.

Joy

The frame around my photo  looks great on any themed page.. It was embossed with white and a touch of red embossing. Ah it wont be long and I will have some more Christmas photos to scrap, and there is plenty of Scrapmatts to use for my creations too!!

This really is the Silly Season!!!

This really is the Silly Season!!!

Hello and Welcome to my last post for 2017
Are you ready for the Silly Season???
I have a few more things to do but almost done.

Today I would like to share with you my December DT - Love Family Moments

This layout features the gorgeous String Circle Holly

This pack contains 14 pieces of chipboard.

I have used "Letters to Santa" paper from Kaisercraft.

This chipboard was perfect for framing my picture.

My daughter is queen of the selfies, so this is a family tradition on Christmas Day.

I just love it.

She also gets her step Dad to smile.

 (he is our Grinch) 

 

 To colour the chipboard I have used my AIAM's (Alcohol Markers) from Kaszazz. 

The Christmas word is also from this set and I have left it white.

I have used Postbox Red Spray from Dylusions to flick on the background.

All the chipboard for this project can be found on the Scrapmatts website.

For my second project I have used the hanging stars and the holly chipboard

to create this jar topper.

Again to colour the holly I have used the alcohol markers and to colour the stars and word I have used Silver and Gold Ink from Versa.

This was the finished topper. 

I added it to a clear jar found at Kmart and filled it with Christmas Lollies and will decorate the jar. 

Here is a list of the products used

 CB5164 Holly

 CB4068 String Circles 05 Holly

CB5097 Hanging Stars

Silver Ink

Gold Ink

I hope you have enjoyed all the designs I have bought you this year and you have found a little inspiration to give them a go.

Thank you all for supporting Australian business.

So from my family to yours

Until next year

November creating with Helen - A Baby Boy's layout and a Christmas card/box

Hello and welcome back to Scrapmatts.

It's Helen with you today.

First I'm sharing a layout featuring a photo of one of my Grandsons 
who is now almost seven.  The years have flown by.

To begin, I used a Scrapmatts brick stencil on the back ground - ST9024 A5 
I've used a Crate Paper collection, "Cool kid" 

The chipboard circle was painted with Tim Holtz Ozide, "Fossilized amber"
CB 5140 String Circles 04

The title is from CB6113 Scrap Words 32

The Gears were already painted black, CB1072

The sketch which inspired my page is by Laura Whitaker - thank you Laura.

Next up is a Christmas easel card with a drawer, which holds a few chocolates.
I think it would make a lovely Teacher's gift at the end of the year.

The chipboard garland was painted with Twinkling H2O's
CB5164 Holly 05

The chipboard pieces were embossed in gold, they are:-
CB6111 Assorted Words 27
CB6081 Christmas Stars 02
CB1229 Chains 02  
I used Nuvo Mousse through a stencil to create additional stars

ST5041Stencil Stars
