Something For Everyone

Hello creative people!

This month I'm sharing a set of step cards full of flowers, enhanced by the simple application of Scrapmatts words and embellishments 💕

While I have focused on creating 3 different cards for different occasions I will confess I used the same sheet of paper for the background of all 3 - this kind of efficiency cant be beat! lol

I also used the Scrapmatts Step Card template to keep things simple for myself.

This first card is for Mother's Day - which is just around the corner now...

I teamed up the classic chippy title with some lovely simple leaves to 

give a bright pop of colour to my vase of flowers ...

I painted the base leaf with a forest green and the 

top part of the leaf with a bright light green.

To get the textured look on the base leaf I used a rough brush 

and splattered the paint about a bit.

- and of course one of those versatile little scrap word tiles I 

can't resist slipping into almost every project I create these days! 

These lovely expressions played a central role in the next couple of cards as well...

Again the leaves helped lift the whole card by giving it an even greater 3D feel,

 rather than just the step design - the chipboard word tiles helped to build this effect as well.

And for this final card I used a traditional chipboard 'Happy Birthday' title 

combined with more of the beautiful scrap words in black...

A 'Happy Birthday'  pack like this with multiple  phrases in it is perfect for the 

avid card maker and a great item to have in the essentials kit - mind you I love 

the smaller size of these lovely words as I can just as easily add them to my 

layouts as well when scrapping birthdays. 

And thats it from me today - I hope you are all enjoying your creative journey 

and finding inspiration in all of life's beautiful moments...

Cheers from Kel 

 

Creating Embellishments with Scrap...matts.

Welcome

Today I wish to share with you my project for this month.

Introducing my Scrap.....matts Embellishments.

Do you ever have leftover scraps of paper & chipboard words? 

Do you struggle with what to do with them?

Or do you trash them or stash them?

I have to admit I tend to trash the paper & stash the chipboard words for other projects.

Recently I stumbled on a picture I found on Instagram using these adorable pins, so I thought I would give it a go.

I am so pleased with how they turned out, super easy to make & just a little cute.

Mothers and their children...

 💚  Blessings to all the Mothers out there  💚

My mother passed away when I was quite young so I didn't grow up with a mum in my life. But I did manage to have a bunch of beautiful kids that have shown me all the abundant joys ( and few horrors 😉 ) that come with being a mum.

For me mothers day is a time to really take stock and give thanks. It sounds cheesy, but truly every day with them is a gift.

I suppose thats why I love to scrapbook, capturing them in the midst of their big and small moments is one of my greatest joys in life. I'm absolutely thrilled as yet another Mothers Day season rolls around to share some layouts of my precious kiddies made with inspiring goodies from Sofie and Andrew at Scrapmatts...
