WITH BRAVE WINGS SHE FLIES ~ SCRAPMATTS LAYOUTS

Greetings on this long weekend in Australia
I wanted to share some more layouts using the gorgeous Scrapmatts chippies 
First of all this is my Daughter when she was a wee little girl
Close to my Heart Forever

I find pastels always look so much better IRL , it is even harder in winter to get a good photo, but oh well , how fabulous is the frame, I love it and I had this pic already cut in a oval shape from being in a frame, so it was perfect :)
A close up

I don't know if you can see , but I have added some texture with gesso and also swiped gesso over the washi tape to soften the effect. If you click on the photo you will have a clearer view

and now my little girl is a big girl & I love her with all my heart

More scrapmatts goodness along with Craftqueen goodness

Buttons and delicate little flower and brass charm from craftqueen, Big Brass flower from Paperstories and frame and word and decorative border from Scrapmatts.

Chevrons from Scrapmatts which I have inked

Some stamping with a Bo Bunny Stamp and Washi Tape

Thank You for popping in , please say hello and enjoy the rest of your weekend

I HAVE AND ANGEL, SHE DOESN'T WEAR ANY WINGS

Hello

This next layout For Scrapmatts I have use the gorgeous heart flourish ~ Heart Frame  CB5030, and  I decided to use it as an embellishment instead of a frame for my photo. I have inked it using a combination of Polar Blue and Sea Foam in versa color . I have added some old lace underneath. A gorgeous little brass heart with wings from Craftqueen

A Scrapmatts  border that I have inked again from the ornate frames pack CB4056 Frames 13 ( you get heaps in the pack) and more Craftqueen flowers and brass charms

A beautiful delicate scrapmatts rose CB 1202 Roses which I have inked , a touch of old lace

An old book page and Craftqueen flower

My title says ~ I have an angel she doesn't wear any wings, which comes from a song by Jack Johnson that I came across on Lauren's blog. 
Be back soon with another layout

Hello, 

Well I am excited to reveal that I am a GD at Scrapmatts for the month of June and July. I was thrilled to be asked as I just love Scrapmatt products and I have been having a lovely time creating some layouts over the last few weeks that I can now start sharing with you :)

I have used the gorgeous little sewing embellishments and I have inked them to colour them. The measuring tape I rubbed gesso over. CB1194 Sewing 02

I have also use the ornate frames around the edge of the corner CB4060 Ornate Frames 17

The photo is of my mothers lovely old cottons. I have used Pink Paislee "Hope Chest" range of PP

COLORMESCRAPPY CHALLENGE ~ CHERISH YOUR DREAMS AND LET THEM TAKE FLIGHT

Hello on this lovely rainy winter night. Half the year has flown by and a new month means a new challenge at ColorMeScrappy  This months challenge is to use the colour palette as well as the sketch

 The Twist:  Use this sketch

I am not a great lover of scrapping the colour purple , but I had these gorgeous photo's of my GD in a Purple Ballet dress , so that is how I got around the use of purple in my layout.

I have reversed the photo's and banner to make the sketch work for me

The little flowers on the banner are from Craftqueen, as are the pearl flower, pearl hearts and lace butterfly on the layout

Thanks so much for dropping by, please let me know you called and hope you join us at ColorMeScrappy this month

Love and Peace
