SCRAPMATTS GUEST DESIGNER FOR OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER

Hello Ladies,

Today I am sharing with you my good news......for the months of October and November, I have been asked to be Guest Designer @ SCRAPMATTS.   When you take the time to visit HERE you will find the most amazing Laser Cut Chipboards to compliment your most treasured photos and artwork.

Now I would like to share with you my first layouts as Guest Designer.

Precious Memories

Before I started on this LO, I dabbed a few drops of Glimmer Mist.

On my beautiful Scrapmatts chippies, firstly covered the Ornate Frame (which I had cut in half), the door handles and the leaf sprays with Gesso. Don’t you think those leaf sprays are just divine?  So lovely and delicate. I applied Crackle  accent and allowed to dry thoroughly, overnight in fact just to be on the safe side J.   You can see how it worked wonderfully in these photos.

For the Scrapmatts  words “Precious Memories” I covered them with ink and then applied Dimensional Magic.  The birds and bird cage I applied a little white ink.

Now for my 2nd LO 'Winner - Hoot Hoot'

My layout is of a special dinner, held in honour of our son who worked at the RACV Club.

I have teamed the layered owl, (CB5109) which I coloured in Versa Inks, with a twig from (CB5056).

My heading is the fantastic Alphabet Flags, burnt cream, (CB6084).

I must say that the layered owl was so easy to put together and I hope that you agree that he looks mighty proud :)

Thanks for taking the time to look and hope that you enjoy your tour around Scrapmatts .

Until next time......happy scrapping.....Regards Liz :)

BLACK WITH 2 -GUEST DESIGNER FOR SEPTEMBER

Hello girls,

Well I am pretty excited this month as I was asked to be Guest Designer at Black with 2.  This month is definitely outside their usual criteria with a beautiful colour palette.

See I did say it was beautiful :)  such lovely colours and all good enough to eat.  Of course, I jumped at the chance to design a LO and help everyone get some inspiration.
 Of course I had the perfect photo of our little granddaughter, teamed with Prima flowers and Liquid Pearls on the alpha.

 As you will see on Black with 2's Blog,  which you can find HERE, the Design Team girls have been very creative.
Look forward to seeing what you all come up with and thanks for looking :)
Until next time......Happy scrapping.....Love Liz

BLACK WITH 2 - APRIL CHALLENGE

Hello Everyone,

I trust that you are now over the Easter festivities and ready to get back into the swing of documenting your recent photographs.
This Month's challenge has a gorgeous colour pallette, as shown here, for you to work with this month.

these colours were so out of my comfort zone, but decided to tackle it full on and I was so happy with the end result!!
I had some fantastic black cardstock that was 'letter embossed', which I sanded in places and painted in another spot - so effective.  Made the butterfly from calico which I painted and then placed bits of old book paper, teamed with a bit of faux stitching.  Crepe paper heart, twine, flowers and a crochet flower too.

Well hope that you are now inspired to join in the fun and I look forward to seeing your creations. 
Thanks for taking the time to look :)
Until next time.......happy scrapping......Love Liz

SKETCHES IN THYME #105 FOR MARCH

Hello girls,

Lots of scrapping going on and Sketches in Thyme has a new sketch for March which I thought I would share with you.


Great sketch I thought so here is my creation.  I have used this Die Cut from We are memory makers, Americal Crafts thickers, splash ribbon.  This was such a fun creation and also used some 'bubble wrap' painting.
