July's creations DT post for Scrapmatts

Hello happy crafters, Rhonda here again and another month has passed us by which means I have again spent some productive time crafting away.

This month I have another 2 projects to share...

The first project is a Printers Tray added to our DT stash by the lovely Sofie no doubt to challenge us all just a little.

 Memories last forever and ever.

I started off by giving the top layer 2 coats of white, then the back layer I painted a soft ocean blue.

Behind the lighthouse I used the ST1021 String and behind the words I usedST1030 Clouds with micro beads, down the centre strip I used ST1016 Tyre Tracks with Shells & Beach Sand.

In the bottom left corner I used CB1220 Ornate Frames 22 with a few shells around it and under the frame. 

As I did under the right centre CB1221 Nautical Designs 04

and the bottom right corner CB1221 Nautical Designs 04,then the righthand corner CH036 Ships Wheel

Scrapbook Layout

My son & his lovely girlfriend were in the spotlight

this month for my 2nd project and as such

featured in this layout.

YOU & ME
"Makes Me Happy"

My inspiration was the waterfall in the background and

creation of water elements such as blue and

bubbles/circles was where my lovely stash

of Scrapmatts goodies took me.

I cut some brick shapes out of a Free Range (Bricks)

paper and glued them onto a Graffiti paper

from the same Fabscraps range to give an

industrial feel that would compliment the male aspect

against the lighter feminine tones.

I cut CB5152 Circles 02 background into 3 pieces

and splashed it with white & blue paint in a

random fashion.

I did this same technique on the gauze that is

positioned behind the photo.

I talked in my introduction of this layout of them

being in the spotlight so thought what better

opportunity to use CB6109 Lamps 11 to which I

double embossed it to give it an antique copper look.

And I couldn't find a better title if I tried than the one

that was part of CB1208 Scrap Words 11 in

"You & Me - Makes Me Happy"
