Awesome Day - Scrapmatts DT

The second theme for January for Scrapmatts was 'All About You', which had to include a photo of me. I've picked a photo from our trip to America at the start of last year. I love frogs and goofing around so thought this was good one to reflect me.

I've started to use more of that beautiful film strip I picked up from the recycling store but I'm still in two minds as to whether it works or not. I love the look of those tangled threads on other people's layouts but they just end up looking horrible when I try on mine. Does anyone have any tips for me?

 

I've only used two pieces of Scrapmatts chipboard here because I really wanted to let that beautiful frame shine. A very exciting development is that Scrapmatts now stocks a range of charms as well! I've used two of the beautiful filigree pieces on this LO. Scrapmatts pieces used: CB5006 Ornate Frame 04, CB1124 Hinges 01, CH004 Filigree Flower #2, CH010 Filigree Flower #5.

  

Notice the flair buttons used with the filigree? I may have gone slightly flair crazy in the space between Christmas and New Years and ordered a 'few' from some different stores. You will probably be seeing them popping up on my layouts a lot more in the near future. :)

I used the Scrapfriends January sketch challenge for this LO.
