Happy New *2015* - Scrappy Chat Friends!

A warm welcome to 2015 Scrappy Chat Friends!

A New Year brings a fresh start....

I always love the start of the new year.

 With the summer holidays here it makes for the perfect time to spend a little down time creating!

(Once the kids are happy, that is!)

Here is a layout I had a lot of fun creating!

{Create Art}

I have used leftovers from some of the 2014 kits to bring this layout together of my middle daughter
Madison.

October Afternoon (Story Time paper)- 'Explore' kit 
Crate Paper (Spot base paper)- 'Freestyle' kit
Gold Trim & Metallic Melts- 'Sea Breeze' kit
 'Charming' kit
Crafter's Workshop Stencil & Kaisercraft Triangle stamp - 'Rustic Goodness' kit
Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks- 'Fun and Free' kit

Madi truly loves her ART!. She is always sitting at our dining room table, being ARTY.
Drawing, painting....at present she is adding art to a pair of white canvas shoes...and they look amazing!

I used a square piece of cardboard cut from a pizza box (roughly 8cm x 8cm) & used the edge as a stamp. Randomly stamping around the edge to create a border & over the word ART, I also used a fine marker to add fine detail.

So why not grab your leftovers & get creating!!

 You can start your 2015 off with a
CREATIVE BANG!

(be inspired by The Arty Chic's here at Scrappy Chat Designs in 2015!)

 

What's Cooking?

Hello again. It's Heather here with my third layout using the Freestyle kit. I made this kit to show you how you can create a cool page with a mix of all the papers in the kit.

Here's my layout:

I love the idea of using all sorts of paper to create these layered shapes and I have made a video to show you how. If you are a Scrappy Chat Designs member the video link will be emailed to you.

Here are some close-ups:

I wrote my journaling on a tag and tucked it behind the top right square. This was such a fun page to make!

Happy scrappin'!

Need I Say More?

Hello there. It's Heather again today. I have my second layout using the amazing Freestyle kit to share with you.

When I first opened the kit, the first paper I pulled aside for a background was this "I Love You' paper. I love text as a background and this repeating sentence says it all. Hence my title, "Need I Say More?" If you look closely you can see that some of the sentences have pink around them. I highlighted these sentences by outlining them in pencil. This draws the eye in just enough to make those pink sections stand out and become focal points of the background design.

This was a simple page to make. The strips behind the photo are just brand strips and leftovers from trimming up the "I Love You" paper, reversed. I used the heart stencil to trace the shape onto cardstock and just roughly cut it out.

To make the metal embellishment silver, I first gave it a rough coat of gesso. I then just painted it with the Silk Luster. I cut the doily from the kit in half, then just painted the pattern with the Silk Luster as well. Easy! How versatile is this product! I'll be using it again that's for sure.

 I finished off the page with  a small piece of ribbon and a title. I unrolled some cotton and adhered it under the photo. I adhered the background paper and the photo on angles to add a bit of interest.

Thanks so much for dropping by. If you like this kit, or are interested in receiving a kit plus 3 video instructions each month, email orders.scrappychatdesigns@gmail.com or check out the website here.

Happy scrappin'!

Heather
