 one of the 'Whispy Dandelions', 
that I finished with white embossing powder. 

 

 

I also tucked in one of the branches from 'Foliage Set 13',

also finished with white embossing powder.
 

I also used one of the 'Lattice Leaves',

which I finished in pale blue to match my papers,
and tucked into the top corner. 

 

 

On the right side of my page I used another of the
 branches from 'Foliage Set 13', 
also embossed in white. 

 

I also used two of the 'Bush Nut Stems',

also finished in pale blue to match my colour scheme.  

 

 

To finish, I have used another of the 
'Lattice Leaves' in pale blue,

and the 'This Boy title',

"Selfies" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

For my first September inspiration, I created a layout featuring three selfies of my granddaughter Mia and me. These are precious moments that I love to capture and treasure. To complement these fun photos, I chose the Party Banner Border, the Decorative Circle Accents Set 1, and the Selfies title, as they perfectly matched the happy and spontaneous feel of our pictures.

"Selfies"

2Crafty Chipboard used:

party-banner-border

decorative-circle-accents-set-1

As always, I began by applying a thin coat of white gesso to all the chipboard pieces to prepare the surface before adding color.

I placed the Party Banner Border beneath the photos to highlight the entire composition. I colored the individual banners with 49 and Market inks in Sunrise, Pineapple, and Twilight, then covered them with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide to soften the shades.

Next, I cut one piece from the Decorative Circle Accents Set 1 into two sections. I tucked one half above the photos and the other beneath the title. Repeating the same design in two different areas helped bring balance to the layout.

Here is a closer look at the Party Banner Border and its lovely mix of soft colors. I applied the inks lightly to avoid covering the delicate engraved details of the chipboard.

Finally, the Selfies title was the perfect choice for this series of photos. I colored it with Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks, blending the two shades of blue to add more depth.

I hope this joyful layout inspires you.

See you soon!

Marie

         

Memories - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back to share another layout I created for my husbands childhood album!

2Crafty Products used:

Fine Word Set 3
Mini Lattice Bits
Ariels Spray
Decorative Circle Accents

I love this flourish - it is so beautiful!  I prepped all the chipboard with gesso then used an orange and green gelato.  I spritzed with water then rubbed with my finger.

I tucked the decorative circle under the photo and embossed the title in white so it would stand out a bit.

I added the mini lattice bits with the flower clusters adding texture to the cluster.

Click Capture By Charmane Sharp

 

I had the best time interacting with the Penguins at Singapore Bird Park.

very hard to get photos with all the reflections and water marks but my

hubby did manage to capture me having so much fun chatting to the Penguins

as they swam over to me. 

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Title- Click Capture 

Decorative Doily Flourish Frame

Window Shutter set 2

Wavy Filmstrip Border 

This title is such a versatile one and perfect for these moments my hubby

took of me enjoying life. I rubbed Old Denim wax on the first word and

then a lighter spread on the second one finished with Old White rubbed

over it for a lighter blue shade.

By cutting the Doily Flourish Frame into two pieces I was able to tuck

it under my photo for glorious detail. I rubbed Ochre wax over it completely 

and then added highlights of Vintage Gold for a contrast against all the blue.

The Window Shutter was done similar to the title to get two shades of blue. 

 Once I was happy with the colours I then glued it onto some patterned paper for 

a unique look. It sits over the top of the Wavy Filmstrip which I gave a second coat

of Gesso too for a brighter white. Then I cut a piece of transparency and on the

rough side I sprayed some Lindy’s shades of blue and let it air dry. Glued to the

back of the Filmstrip it was a little bright so I adhered it to some blue cardstock.

The Simple Stories papers and ephemera compliment with the chipboard 

for a beachy relaxed vibe. Thanks for stopping by the blog today.

Until next time

'Getaway' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here to share some scrappy inspiration with you.
I have created a layout featuring my son.

'Getaway'

 

 

2Crafty products used:

'Aged Film Strip Set' 
'Mini Checkerboard Bits'
'Steampunk Gears Medium' 

'Getaway Title'

 

For this layout, I used a few of the 'Mini Checkerboard Bits',

which I embossed in a bright white finish.  

 

I also used some 'Steampunk Gears Medium',

which I embossed in white and layered.  

 

 

 

I also used one of the film strips from the
'Aged Film Strip Set',

which I left raw and layered 
with an car from my papers, and some layered gears.

 

I also used the 'Getaway Title',

also embossed in white,

at the bottom of my page. 

 

 

 I really love the white and raw chipboard with these papers. 
The white pops nicely against the neutral tones. 

 

I hope that you like what I have created,
I will be back soon with some more scrappy goodness to share with you.

 

Until then

Memories by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing my last layout for the month of August. 

I've scrapped this photo before, but when I got the Faded Memory Lane collection from 49 and Market, I knew I had to do it again. It's perfect! You can get a whole different vibe using a different design. 

   Memories 

2Crafty Chipboard I used:

6" Ariel's Spray

Evan's Swirl

Cherished Family Memories

Geo Triangular Border

All of the chipboard was primed with White Gesso before altering.

I cut the top off of one of the Evan's Swirls and placed it under the top of the photo and flower petals. 

I painted it with a mixture consisting of Red Magenta, Quinacridone Magenta, and Titanium White Acrylic Paint. Then I added in a little Barcelona Beige Chalk Paint to tone it down. I wanted it to be as close to the pink colors on the papers as I could get. 

This is the 6" Ariel's Spray. This was altered the same as the Evan's Swirl at the top. The idea was to have a continuous swirl running the length of the photo. I think having it swirling up on top of the photo added the perfect touch to the title area.

On the right side beneath all the torn edges, I thought it needed something dark to separate the edges from the background. The Geo Triangular Border worked well without being too obvious. I simple painted it with Raw Umber Acrylic Paint. 

The title 'Memories' was cut from the title - Cherished Family Memories. The whole title was too much for the space. I needed something small that wouldn't overpower the composition. 

I painted it with a blend of Titanium White, Red Magenta Acrylic Paint with a little Barely Pink Chalk Paint. 

I hope you like this and that I have inspired you to try to "re-scrap" some of your photos with a different design. Sometimes they look better than the first one's you did!!  lol!

See you back next month with more inspiration from 2Crafty

"Click Capture"Layout By Di Garling

 Hello there, Di Garling back with you today.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog.

Today I have another new layout to share with you
& of course I have used some lovely
pieces of our favourite 2Crafty Chipboard.

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

Window Shutter Set *4

Tahnya's 11"Border

Click Capture - title

All of the chipboard I have used on this layout were all

treated exactly the same way. They were all simply given two

coats of white acrylic paint & while the paint was still wet I 

sprinkled all the pieces with glitter. A little hard to see that in

the photos but it looks fantastic in real life.

Such an easy technique & yet sooo effective.

Like I always say, ït doesn't have to be complicated

to look effective". 

In the photo above you can see the way I have used the

chipboard "Window Shutter Set" to showcase my photos.

I absolutely adore this fabulous " 11"Tahnay's Border"

that I have placed diagonally across my layout, it really is a

stunning piece of chipboard. 

Lastly I have finished off with one of our newer titles,

"Click Capture"
such great font used on this title too.
I LOVE it.
