Scrapmatting around.

My car is in for a service today so I've been playing.

I made these 3 Christmas decorations using Scrapmatts 3D bells and rhinestones.

Stuck with Cordial

Stuck?! sketches 2nd sketch for the month was a great inspiration for my last layout from Broken Hill photos.These cordials were in the front window of Bells old fashioned ice cream parlour.The light shining through them made them look particularly enticing.I've used scrapmatts Kitchenware as my embellishments plus some buttons and ricrac.I like the leatherette thickers letters with this as well.

Here's 2 more layouts that I've done recently.The left hand one is using scrapmatts Laugh word.

The muscles of steel one features A2Z scraplets cogs,which I misted in bronze.The yellow frame goes right around the edge,the scanner cut it off.

One for fun

This one features me at Tasmania's Mt Wellington.I've cut around the scrolly flowers and doodled the branches for the flowers.The word "Trip" is from scrapmatts and painted black.It was a cold windy day but a great view.

A very frustrated blogger!

My life is in a whirl.

This computer seems to be dying which means I can't access websites or even the internet for days on end.This means that layouts I usually do I can't upload or even worse even see the challenges in the first place.My D.T commitments I'm keeping up with but luckily I've been able to use the computer on those days.I've switched it on/off 5 times this morning to get this far.

Please bear with me and in the meantime support Scrapthatsong and Scrapmatts however you can.They're both great sites.

Dolls getting picky

Get picky this time required a layout using fabric.Mine has a flower made from lace and felt.It also required the colours pink,red,lime,yellow and turquoise.

While I believe in documenting the good times I also think it is important to scrap those little things that make us unique. In this case Erica is really freaked out by dolls. She hates going into rooms where there are collections such as are shown in these photos.It has been with her since babyhood...she never liked dolls...and still applies as an adult.

White with one and red!

This layout started with the wonderful photo of Erica and Jacob and the Prima corsage flower.I liked it too much to pull the green ribbon off it!

You can't get much more bright than red so went with that for my colour.I used bird printed paper,a tag featuring red stripes to which I added journalling words in both clear plastic and stickers and red & white ribbon.I added 2 scrapmatts doves touching beaks, another tag with their names,stapled ribbon to the side of the layout and a curled up tear at the bottom left revealing the number 2.I'm really happy with this layout.
