Let's start with the beautiful Victoria's large Flourish that I have sitting across the bottom of 

my photo. I have simply given this a light coat of gesso..

Next up are these adorable Fanciful Butterflies,

I love how they come in a pack of different sizes..

I first dabbed a coat of gesso on each butterfly, 

once dried inked the edge of the wings with a light blue...

Also! with that same blue I inked the 

Cherish banner from ATC - Banner word set 1 and the 2018

AND lastly for the April from the Fine word set - Months

Inking this with a littler darker blue...

I hope I have inspired you in some way

"Adorable" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone

My first inspiration for this month of February is a happy and fun layout.

The funny curve of the writing highlights the attractive title 'Adorable'.

"Adorable"

The chipboard used:

Adorable

6inchzipperframes

number-panels

mini-number-panels

The colors of the plush toy to create this layout attracted me, as did my grandson's little face.

As always, I cover each chipboard with a layer of white gesso.

All chipboards were enhanced with the same products and in the same way.

I start with a first coat of metallic wax in the color "Midnight" from Prima, which I apply with my finger more or less precisely. I use my "Distress Inc" inker in the color "peacock feathers" to rub randomly and provide color contrast. To give relief to the 'Zipper Frame' chipboard, I use foam adhesive.

I overlap two sizes of "number-panels" chipboard. 

It's a great idea to have designed two sizes. This helps create depth.

I haven't had the opportunity to use this title yet, but for this layout I find it perfect. 

And you, what do you think?

I hope the chipboards I used will give you some creative ideas.

Until next time!

Marie

       

Captured Memories by Robin Schlein

Hi everyone. Welcome back to the blog. 

I'm sharing another Winter inspired layout today. This time with warm colors, because I really can't wait for it to warm back up again!

"Captured Memories"

Beautiful 2Crafty used:

Mini Branches

Large Berry Stem

Captured Memories

As usual, I first coated my chipboard with white Gesso.

When I saw this paper, I knew exactly which chipboard pieces I was going to use. The berries on the Large Berry Stems were perfect with the colored dots on the paper. I painted them with the Prima Woodlands and Shimmering Lights Water color sets. I wanted to match the dots on the paper as much as I could to draw the berries into the dots on the paper. I'm happy with how it turned out.

I tucked in one of the Mini Branches under the flowers. I wanted to add contrast so I colored them with Color Box Chestnut Roan chalk Ink. 

I repeated the grouping on the upper right with the same techniques as on the left. This was to balance out the composition.

For the title, Captured Memories, I painted the word 'Captured' with Parchment Acrylic Paint and 'Memories' with a mix of Raw Sienna and Gold Acrylic Paint, pulling from the colors in the photo.

Hope you like this and are inspired to use warm colors with your winter photos. 

Until next time...

Beautiful Girlsby Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for February. 
  I have created another layout for my second share. 

"Beautiful Girls"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Floral Cluster Set 1

*Corners Florabella

*Beautiful Girls

*Meghan's Border

I have used the stunning Uniquely Creative 'Serenity' Collection to create the base for my layout.  

I coloured the Floral Cluster, Florabella Corners and Beautiful Girls Chippies with Art Alchemy Opal Magic Violet-Gold Acrylic Paint.  Once the Floral Cluster and Florabella chippies were dry I randomly dabbed on some Dylusions Laidback Lilac Paint onto them.  I coloured the Meghan's Border chippie with Dylusions Laidback Lilac Paint and once this was dry I did the same but this time I randomly dabbed on the Art Alchemy Opal Magic Violet-Gold Acrylic Paint. 

I added paper layers under my photo and then added it to my background page.  I added the Florabella Corner chippie to the bottom left of my photo and then added lots of fussy cut elements and paper blooms.  I tucked the Floral Cluster chippies in amongst the fussy cut elements.  I cut the Meghan's Border chippie in half and added one of each of the halves to either side of my photo.  I finished on my page by adding the Beautiful Girls chippie along the bottom of my photo.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 
 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

“Pure Joy”Mixed Media Baby Layout By Di Garling

Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by. 

Today I have this sweet little mixed media baby layout to show you

 & it features one of my gorgeous grandaughters.

She is now seven years old but I just adore these photos that they
had taken in a newborn photo shoot.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

"Pure Joy" - title

Addy's Butterflies

Dianne's Doillies

Ivy Clusters

2018 Dates

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

I thought this “Pure Joy” title was just perfect for these baby photos.

All the chipboard pieces were firstly given a basecoat of white paint

followed by some pink & aqua paints. I also added some glitter to

the "Addy's Butterfly" wings also.

The “Dianne’s Doiley” was given a couple of coats of white acrylic paint

before being cut into two pieces to use separately

 in between the layers.

I have also added a "2018" chipboard piece too.

2Crafty makes these in all years. Just perfect

for adding a date to a page.

The “Ivy Clusters” were also cut into a few pieces & 

then poked in here & there amongst all the flowers.

I also scattered a sprinkling of the 
"ATC Tiny Stars" in & around the layout to

add a little extra detail !!

 Well that’s all I have for you today. I hope I have 

inspired you just a little.

Brothers Make the Best Friends - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!  
Laura here back to share my next layout for my husbands childhood album!

2Crafty Products used;

Brothers Make The Best Friends

Circle Stack

1" Hexagons

Chevron Bits

I wanted to create a bright and fun layout of my husband (dark hair) and his brother (blonde)

I die cut a bunch of hexagons from the paper then layered the circles and hexagons over top

I kept with the bright colors and painted all the pieces to match!

To bring your eye to the photo I used the chevron bits to point to it.

I also wanted to the title to stand out from the other chipboard pieces so I painted it black.

Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends,

Those are my absolute favorite colors to scrap but who am I kidding lots of colors are. The picture I used is one of Abbey that I used once before for another project with 2Crafty Chipboard. Enjoy my post..

 Bush Nut Floral Clusters
Page Tab Set
Victoria's Large Flourish
Mini Title Stick Set 4
A Daughter Friend Title
Delicate Butterflies
Hand-Drawn Flowers
Squiggly Circle Arrow Journal Spots

I did some fussy cutting for this layout and the chipboard pieces are treated with some white gesso. I used different colors of alcohol markers & and a text stamp on the pretty swirl that I cut up and tucked in my flower clusters.

Behind the pretty handdrawn flower & the arrow journal spot I added some of the light coloured text paper that is also in the top left corner of my layout. I cut the phrase apart and used on two spots on my layout. Loved making this layout!!
