Scrap the Girls January Entry....

Happy new year everyone!!
Here is our very first challenge for 2011....
Summer Loving - Scrap your favourite summer memories or moments (girls only!)



My memory is watching Bridget on the beach just doing her own thing and not even worrying about what her sisters are up too....something i used to do while visiting the beach as a child.

Dec 5th- Scrapmatts

Well today is my day to load up my creations using the Scrapmatts sent to me from Sofie and Andrew

SW001 Surf 01
CB5036 Kites 01
CB6062 Shells 02

A close up:

Just love this time of the year to scrap all those summery layouts. I left the Scrapmatts chipboard raw because i feel it matches the look of the sand.






CB1097 Floral Spray 01

Thought i might get a Xmas Layout done...lots of layering in this one with some beautiful Websters pp

A close up:





DM 703 WE
CB6061 Shells
SW004 Beach 01
SW003 Fun 01

As soon as i looked at my big wheel , i knew then that i wanted to make an OTP.Had alot of fun with this one!

Some close ups:

I started by painting my background with 2 colours for the scenery and then overlapped the wheel slightly over the edge of my canvas. I then added the Scrapmatts shells and other embellishments


Thanks for some really great Scrapmatts chipboard...it made it easy to work with when you are so excited about the product!

You can find all these great Scrapmatts pieces in the store here
