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

 

Lisa

 

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.

Well thats all from me today.
Until next time.

"enjoy" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I’m happy to be back today to share my second inspiration for August.

For this layout, I chose a photo taken this summer of Mia and Leo, my grandchildren, surrounded by their cousins. Together, from the youngest to the oldest, they create such a lovely scene full of fun and togetherness, which was perfect for a summer and vacation-themed layout.

To complement the photo, I chose several words from the 6X6 Summertime Sheets to create my title, along with some beach-inspired elements from the Fishing Net Bits. I also used a piece from the Industriel Spring Set to add a graphic line and some dimension to my design.

2Crafty Chipboard used:

6x6-summertime-sheets

fishing-net-bits

industrial-spring-set

As always, I started by applying a thin layer of white gesso to the chipboards to prepare the surface before adding color. 

The Fishing Net Bits were left white after the gesso application and tucked among the embellishments, perfectly complementing the seaside atmosphere.

For the Industrial Spring Set, I used Distress Oxide Stormy Sky, with a touch of Faded Jeans to highlight the details, then placed it underneath the photo to add a subtle graphic element and a little dimension to the layout.

For the words from the 6X6 Summertime Sheets, I used Distress Oxide Stormy Sky, then lightly highlighted some of the edges with Faded Jeans. For SPLASH, I added a touch of Salty Ocean to make it stand out and echo the shades of the sea.

I then played with the placement of the different words around the photo. The variety of fonts on the sheet adds lots of energy to the title and enhances the fun and spontaneous feel of the layout.

I hope this layout inspires you and gives you some ideas for using 2Crafty Chipboards
 in your own creations.

Marie

Altered Christmas Cheer Frame by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the Second of my DT projects for August. 
 I have altered a wooden frame. 

"Christmas Cheer"

2 Crafty Chipboard

*Christmas Cheer

*Majestic Reindeer Set

*Royal Oval Frame

*Celebration Swirls

I have used the gorgeous new Mintay "Merry & Joy" Collection to decorate the inside photo frame panels.

I first coloured all the chippie pieces with a couple of coats of gesso.  Once dry I randomly sprayed Kaisercraft Red Iridescent Spray on the Royal Oval Frame, Celebration Swirl and Christmas Cheer Title chippies.  I then sponged more gesso over the Celebration Swirl Christmas Cheer Title chippies to lighten them up.  I left the Majestic Reindeer chippies just painted with gesso. 

I added the Royal Oval Frame chippie to the centre of the frame and then added the Christmas Cheer Title.  I decorated the Frame with some Christmas Poinsettia flowers and fussy cut elements.  To finish off I tucked in a Celebration Swirl chippie to the flower cluster along the bottom of the Frame and the Majestic Reindeer chippies to the bottom right of the Frame.

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