Hi there!

The year is really starting to tick down, now.....Christmas is 4 sleeps away and  my kidlets are getting rather excited! The younger ones about the gifts and the older ones mainly about the food :)

Now this week sees the last CSI case file for 2013

 {My Joy}

Colour Scheme- All colours. I've used some water color paints on the background as well as some texture paste.

Evidence- Circles, Ive used a kaisercraft circle template and buttons. Horizontal lines, the striped papers either side of my photo. Ribbon, under twigs and I have used Satin Seam Binding, Metal charm and twigs (under my binding)

Testimony- I have used the Inspiration words.....Joy, (in my sentence title) and Season in my journaling which is written on the back of my layout.....it reads: I am finding so much joy this festive season in watching you, Hugo and the magic that comes with Christmas.

Satin Seam Binding, Tiny Twine, Button and Prima flower, Metal Charm from

Scrapmatts & Scrap Around The World

Hello everyone,

Popping in to show you some layouts I have created. 

The first one is my Design Team Layout for my monthly duties at

Scrapmatts

{ My Girls }

 

  I have used the stunning Layered windows 01 {CB4054} and the Scrap Words 10 {CB1207}

I have been saving this Layered window for some time now....you know for just the right photo!

Last Thursday I got that photo....

 

I have also used lots of goodies from Craft Queen. 

This month Scrapmatts is Guest Designing for the AWESOME

Scrap Around The World

Monthly Challenge Blog

{which I am  extremely blessed to also be a part of}

To check out the SATW Design Team's December layouts go *HERE*

The Scrapmatts team had to create a layout, tag or single art journal spread based on the December Mood Board and you could also use the optional sketch!

  {Beautiful} 

  I've used the Australian Federation Detail 03 (CB4058) and Scrapwords 05 (CB1197)
I was inspired by the frames in the mood board and also the softness of the flowers.

 This is Madison who has done some amazing things this year. Dux of her year and the realization that she is a beautiful young lady. She has lost 20kgs since the start of this year and is very happy and healthy. She would never let me photograph her but that has changed now :)

 I have used texture paste on the Australian Federation Chipboard then pressed an embossing folder into the paste, to create texture, then once dry I painted with glimmermist then brushed on some Silks Glaze. I then cut into desired pieces and added to my layout. Machine stitching, fussy cutting and lots of pretties....sigh!

 

I actually put the wrong year on this but Madi pointed

 this out so I did fix it....( Think it might be Christmas Brain setting in....too much to think about!!?)

Scrap Around The World has some really amazing prizes up for grabs, this month and that includes Scrapmatts!!!!

So, if you do get a chance I urge you to enter. 

Before I go I want to share this photo of my girls......I so love it!!!

think I will have to get this enlarged and don't be surprised if you see a few layouts too!!!

Too gorgeous..... and beautiful!!!

Thanks for stopping

Cheers
