Scrapmatts

Good morning,  can you believe how quickly the month has flown by? I am here with a new layout today and doing what I love to do which is layering Scrapmatts Chipboard with a bit of fussy cutting thrown in there for good measure.

Beautiful

October Afternoon  Girl Talk, Maggie Holmes Flea Market, 

Amy Tangerine Epoxy and enamel hearts.

#45/365

CB6113 Scrap Words 32 only come in black, I felt that it was too heavy for the layout, this is an easy problem to solve, grab some spray paint and lightly dust the chipboard, if you go too heavy you will lose the details in the words. 

You know I cant go past my CB1229 Chains 02 perfect for boy and girl layouts.

Today - With Scrapmatts

Good Morning , I am here with my first ever Scrapmatts blog post!!!

This is just a little bit exciting thats for sure. So starting off today I am sharing with you my canvas, our first challenge for the design team. If your anything like me when it comes to finding a photo of yourself is hard enough little known then scrapping it is even harder!!!!

When ever I start a canvas I love to add some texture with texture paste and of course a stunning stencil, this time I have used the Scrapmatts ST1006 Stencil Stars, I find when you do this it helps catch the colours of the medium you are using.

I am also a huge fan of chains!!!! Love how they draw your eye down and around the canvas, CB1229 Chains 02 I love how you can give them a little bend to make them have some movement.

I am all about mass impact when I use my chipboard on a layout or a canvas so the 

CB4026 Flourishes 09 is the perfect way to do this dont forget you can cut up all your flourishes to get them to fit into what ever you create.

How awesome are these words??? They are just perfect for any finishing touch.
