  Leaf Card Set

The main thing I concentrated on with this set of cards was to
add a little of each to all the cards...

Each card has the leaf Stencil, Flowers, Metal, Birds,
Lace/Ribbon, Crowns & Verses.
Even with all these similarities they each have their own individual look.

The texture of the leaves was created using
Colour Blast Paste in place of the usual
texture/modelling paste for a different look which is important
to me as I like each of my creations to be originals.

Metal Crown, Metal & Enamel Flower, Cameo on Metal Frame

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"


FMSGauze, Acrylic Paint (White & Light Blue),
Modelling Paste, Embossing Liquid,
Brown Embossing Powder & Stampendous Fragment Powder Blue,
Twine, Hemp Twine,
Kraft package from an old package I had saved,
Double Sided Self Adhesive.

"Antiqued Journal Cover"


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

A Huge Thank You to our Sponsor for this month is 
My Project this month is call 
"Antiqued Journal Cover"

My project this month was a rather simple and fun one, using a couple of 'SCRAPMATTS' chipboards & charms and other things From my Stash (FMS) to dress up a journal.
I applied some papers to the front & back, inside & out, of a plain wire bound book to give an antique look.


I placed a large Clock Chipboard CB 6063 at the top and to the left I used a Dressform Chipboard CB 6036 over the top of some hemp twine and glued 2 different coloured seed beads for texture.


To bring the chipboards together I filled the space with a large flower 
charm and a paper flower FMS.


To this I constructed a flower made out of a doily, a silk flower as well 
as a flower charm bent inside out. I finished the flower off with one 
of my handmade stick pins and a pearl brad FMS.


To the front of the journal and everything on it i sprayed a heavy coat of Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist - Iridescent Gold.

Happy 100th Birthday Bessie

Hello Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors...

Just recently I was messaged and asked if I could make a special Birthday card for a special lady that she works with. I was intrigued and asked more questions, well it turned out to be for a very special lady who was turning 100.

So I asked were there any special requirements, the lovely lady loved red Roses, 
I thought for a moment as I knew I wouldn't have any Red Roses in stock, but there was no panic I always buy my different flowers in white, then spray them what ever colour is desired.  

So this is the final card, and Bessie I hope you loved it...
 

Here is Bessie holding her card at 
her birthday party!!!!



So there you have it. 

Please be kind and leave me some love,
