Scrapmatts - Free Choice

This month at Scrapmatts the Design Team had free choice, and I have 2 LO's and 2 cards to share.

Precious Moments
I have been meaning to get around to scrapping these pics for a while but had a bit of a mental block every time I would pull them out.  Unfortunately we didn't get too many good photos of Luke's Formal, but I did love these pics of Luke having a bit of trouble trying to tie the corsage on to his partner's wrist.  Thought I could get away with going a bit feminine on this LO but kept the colours masculine.  I used some Assorted Word chippies for my title and some Leaf chippies on the flower cluster.  I also used the Card Borders chippies to add a bit of dimension to my lacy border.


List of Materials:  Scrapmatts Assorted Words 07, Card Borders 02, Leaves 02, MME Lost and Found, LYB Twig and Kaisercraft pp's Manor House Creations flower, Petaloo blossoms, Mulberrry leaves and flowers, Crafter's Workshop stencil, Gesso, Glimmermist Jingle Bells, Craft Queen ribbon, Charms, Brilliance ink

Live Life
As you can see I love the MME Lost and Found range and have used this glitter paper as my background to go with my sunset pic of Brittany.  To add a little more glimmer I stamped the background paper with a script stamp in gold, and inked the Large Assorted Words, Floral Design, Butterfly and Lamp Post chippies in various shades of gold and copper.  I seem to be reaching for doilies quite a bit atm and layered some crochet and paper doilies with some gorgeous Prima and Petaloo flowers.  I also used an EK Success doily punch around my circle detail.

I thought I would enter this LO in the Scrapfit  Workout # 67 - Decorate with a Doily Challenge.



List of Materials: Scrapmatts Lamp Posts 01, Large Asst'd Words, Butterflies 03, Floral Design 04,  MME Lost and Found, Basic Grey Basics, paper doily, crochet doilies, Prima flower, Petaloo blossoms, Craft Queen mulberry rose, Prima Almanac notecard, EK Success border punch, Glimmermist Jingle Bells, Brilliance metallic inks,

Two Quick and Easy Cards

I whipped up 2 pretty cards by layering some Echo Park This and That papers and Prima Notecards, with some Australian Federation Corner chippies which I left raw (mist white).  On the green card I used some small Word chippies for my greeting and inked to match and on the pink card I used the Names Plates chippies under the die cut sticker for my greeting.  Chipboard is a fab way to add a little interest and dimension to your cards.

List of Materials:  Scrapmatts Australian Federations Corners 03 and 07, Name Plates 01, Words 26, Echo Park This and That 6x6 paper pad, Prima Almanac Notecards, Crate Paper diecut label sticker, Kaisercraft pearls, Versamagic inks

Thanks so much for stopping by.
